John Wick 5 is officially in the works, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The exciting announcement came directly from Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during a presentation at CinemaCon. The development of "John Wick: Chapter 5" is already underway, with key figures from the franchise returning. This includes producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee from Thunder Road, franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and of course, star and producer Keanu Reeves himself. While fans eagerly await more details, no specific release window has been announced yet.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the mainline John Wick series comes as no surprise, considering the phenomenal success of "John Wick: Chapter 4." The film grossed over $440 million worldwide, continuing the franchise's impressive trend of each sequel outperforming its predecessor at the box office. 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.
