John Wick 5 has officially been announced, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The news broke during CinemaCon, where Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, made the exciting announcement. The development of John Wick: Chapter 5 is already underway, with Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, along with franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves, all involved. While no specific release date has been shared yet, fans are eager to see what's next for the legendary assassin.
The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick series comes as no surprise, especially after John Wick: Chapter 4 grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the franchise has managed to surpass the box office performance of its predecessor, a rare achievement in the film industry. However, the announcement raises questions, particularly in light of the ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
