John Wick 5 is 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 Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, shared the exciting news. Development on John Wick: Chapter 5 has commenced, with key players from the franchise 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 contribute to the project. Although no specific release window has been announced, fans can look forward to more high-octane action.
The decision to greenlight another mainline John Wick movie comes as no surprise, considering the monumental success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the series has not only been a commercial hit but has also managed to surpass the box office performance of its predecessor, a rare achievement in cinema. However, the decision might raise eyebrows given the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
