John Wick 5 has been officially announced, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The exciting news was shared on-stage at CinemaCon by Adam Fogelson, the chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. Development for John Wick: Chapter 5 is already underway, with the powerhouse team of Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves all returning to bring the next chapter to life. While a release window hasn't been disclosed yet, fans are eagerly anticipating what's next for the legendary assassin.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick series comes as no surprise, considering the staggering success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the franchise has achieved the remarkable feat of outperforming its predecessor, making the series a consistent box office hit. However, the announcement raises questions about the narrative direction, especially given the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
