Get Ready: Every Upcoming John Wick Movie and Spin-off You Can’t Miss!

by

They’ve officially announced John Wick 5, plus there’s going to be an animated prequel! This means it’s a great time to take a sneak peek at how this popular action series is planning to develop and expand in the coming days.

John Wick continues to provide entertainment value. The initial film, a shocking success, captivated both critics and viewers with its story about an exceptional assassin taking revenge on the antagonists who killed his beloved pet dog.

However, it was primarily through the sequels that the character gained significant traction, evolving from a popular action series into a full-blown blockbuster sensation. The initial four John Wick films amassed revenue surpassing the $1 billion mark globally.

A TV series spin-off emerged, titled “The Continental: From the World of John Wick,” though it wasn’t produced by the creators of John Wick. Surprisingly, it vanished without leaving any signs. However, the minds behind the movies have devised a strategy, one that commences this summer…

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina

Release Date: June 6, 2025

In a new take on the John Wick franchise, the initial spin-off introduces Ana de Armas as a highly skilled assassin with roots in the Ruska Roma culture, pursuing vengeance for her father’s murder.

Under the direction of Len Wiseman, the film titled “Ballerina” was crafted by screenwriter Shay Hatten, who has previously written the scripts for both John Wick 3 and 4. Interestingly, this movie is set between these two films, yet it leaves room for John Wick’s character to make an appearance as well.

The trailer for Ballerina provides a glimpse into the circumstances and actions leading to his involvement, while characters such as Winston (Ian McShane), Charon (Lance Reddick), and the Director (Anjelica Huston) reappear. This new narrative promises a sense of familiarity with the John Wick series, but offers a fresh take on the storyline.

John Wick: Chapter 5

Release Date: TBA

In the upcoming movie, John Wick: Chapter 5, it’s confirmed that Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as the protagonist. Meanwhile, in the production side, director Chad Stahelski, along with producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, are also set to return for this exciting new installment.

At CinemaCon, the announcement was shared, offering little insight into the storyline, new cast members, or the specific manner in which the main character will make a comeback. However, we do have our own theories on this subject.

According to Lionsgate’s chair Adam Fogelson, Keanu Reeves, Chad Stahelski, Basil Iwanyk, and Erica Lee would only reprise their roles if they had a truly extraordinary and innovative story to tell about these characters and this universe. He is eager for the audience to discover where the adventure leads us next.

The creators emphasized, “Ensuring accuracy is crucial for John’s tale, and we’re eager to guide it towards its appropriate next phase. Embarking on this journey is thrilling.

Caine spinoff

Release Date: TBA

In the fourth installment of John Wick, martial arts icon Donnie Yen made an entrance as the beloved blind assassin Caine. Given this character’s popularity among fans, it comes as no shock that he will star in a standalone movie focusing on his storyline.

In this project, Yen is set to serve both as the director and executive producer for the currently unnamed movie. The screenplay has been penned by Mattson Tomlin, who has previously contributed to ‘The Batman’ and its upcoming sequel.

The movie is scheduled to be filmed in Hong Kong towards the end of this year. Producer Chad Stahelski shared at CinemaCon: “One character from the John Wick universe that I particularly enjoy is Caine. The opportunity to delve into his story and uncover all his escapades fills us with excitement. And who could be more suited to guide it than Donnie Yen himself. His knowledge of the culture, the world, and undeniably, the action, make him an ideal director for this project.

As a passionate gamer, let me express how stoked I am about the John Wick films! They’ve truly raised the bar for action movie-making, and I feel incredibly fortunate that Lionsgate has entrusted me with the chance to take the franchise to even greater heights. The inspiration is running high within me, and I can’t wait to bring this project to life!

Animated John Wick prequel

Release Date: TBA

For a while, there have been conversations about a John Wick anime, but now we’ve got solid information! Instead of the movie timeline as we know it, this version unfolds before the events of the first film. The main focus is on the ‘Impossible Task’ that John completed to be reunited with his beloved, providing an intriguing prequel perspective.

In this production, Keanu Reeves takes on the role of voicing the character, with Shannon Tindle (known for Ultraman: Rising) serving as director. The script is penned by Vanessa Taylor, who has previously worked on The Shape of Water.

Adam Fogelson from Lionsgate mentioned at CinemaCon: “In the realms of animation and the universe of John Wick, the potential is limitless. The ‘Impossible Task’ story is one that fans eagerly anticipate, and Shannon’s approach to it is truly remarkable. We can hardly wait to unveil what John Wick can accomplish in the animated realm!

Chad Stahelski expressed: “Anime has always intrigued me greatly. It’s had a significant impact on me, particularly in shaping the John Wick series. I believe that John Wick is an ideal fit for this style of animation, as it offers us the opportunity to broaden our universe, deepen our characters, and elevate our action beyond what we previously thought possible.

Here are the official follow-ups and related productions, whereas prospective ideas encompass films focusing on Halle Berry’s Sofia and Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King, as well as a series named ‘Under the High Table.’ Although less probable – but still whispered about – are plans for Atomic Blonde and Nobody collaborative movies.

As developments unfold with the actualization of the plans or introduction of fresh sequels, we’ll make sure to revise this article accordingly. Until then, enjoy TopMob’s rankings for the John Wick films, as well as our compiled list of top-notch action movies throughout history.
