Fans of the high-octane action franchise can rejoice as John Wick 5 has been officially announced. Lionsgate confirmed that the iconic 60-year-old actor, Keanu Reeves, will reprise his role as the legendary hitman. The exciting news was shared by Adam Fogelson, the chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during a presentation at CinemaCon.
The development of John Wick: Chapter 5 is already underway, with the key creative team returning. Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, along with franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves, are all set to bring the next chapter to life. While a specific release window has not yet been disclosed, anticipation is already building among fans.
The decision to greenlight another mainline John Wick movie comes as no surprise, given the tremendous success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Remarkably, each installment in the series has managed to surpass the box office performance of its predecessor, a rare achievement in the film industry. However, this announcement raises questions, especially in light of the ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
