Excitement is building as Lionsgate officially announced the development of John Wick 5, confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The announcement came directly from Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during a thrilling reveal at CinemaCon.
The project is in its early stages, with key members of 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 collaborate once again. While fans eagerly await further details, no specific release window has been disclosed yet.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick series comes as no surprise, given the immense success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the series has managed to outperform its predecessor, a rare and impressive achievement in the film industry. However, the announcement raises questions about the narrative direction, especially considering the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
