John Wick 5 is now officially in the works, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The announcement came during CinemaCon, where Adam Fogelson, chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, shared the exciting news. Development on John Wick: Chapter 5 is underway, with key figures such as Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves all set to return. While a specific release date has yet to be announced, fans can rest assured that more action is on the horizon.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick series comes as no surprise, especially following the massive success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the franchise has managed to outperform its predecessor, a rare achievement in the film industry. However, the announcement raises questions given the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
