Exciting news for fans of the action-packed John Wick series: Lionsgate has officially announced the development of John Wick: Chapter 5. The confirmation came from Adam Fogelson, the chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during a thrilling reveal at CinemaCon. The 60-year-old Keanu Reeves is set to reprise his iconic role as the legendary hitman, John Wick. The film is being developed with the involvement of key figures from the franchise, including Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, as well as franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski. While a specific release date has yet to be announced, the anticipation is already building.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick saga comes as no surprise, given the phenomenal success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each of the first four films in the series has achieved the remarkable feat of surpassing the box office performance of its predecessor, indicating a robust and growing fanbase. However, the announcement raises questions about the narrative direction of the fifth chapter, especially considering the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
