John Wick 5 has been officially announced, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role as the legendary hitman. 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, involving key team members such as Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, 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 provided yet.
The decision to move forward with another installment in the mainline John Wick series comes as no surprise, especially after John Wick: Chapter 4 grossed over $440 million worldwide. Remarkably, each of the first four films has managed to outperform its predecessor at the box office, demonstrating the franchise's consistent growth and strong fan base. However, the announcement raises questions given the conclusive nature of John Wick: Chapter 4's ending.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
