The highly anticipated John Wick 5 has officially been announced, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will once again step into the shoes of the iconic hitman. The exciting news broke during CinemaCon, where Adam Fogelson, chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, took the stage to make the announcement. The development of John Wick: Chapter 5 is already underway, with the powerhouse team behind the franchise—including Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves—all returning for this next installment. Although a specific release window has not yet been disclosed, fans can rest assured that the action-packed saga will continue.
The decision to greenlight another mainline John Wick movie comes as no surprise, given the phenomenal success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide at the box office. Remarkably, each of the first four films managed to outperform its predecessor, a rare achievement in the film industry. However, the announcement raises questions, especially considering the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
