According to Variety, Lionsgate has confirmed that John Wick: Chapter Five will feature Keanu Reeves reprising his role as the hitman character, with franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski also returning. Producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee have also joined the project, with Iwanyk and Lee emphasizing the importance of crafting a compelling story for John Wick’s next chapter. With each movie in the series earning more money than the last, the team is poised to continue their box office success. While details about the cast and plot are still unknown, it appears that John Wick may not have died in Chapter 4, suggesting that a sequel is on the horizon. Whether the franchise will explore new territory or stick with its established themes remains to be seen. Lionsgate has yet to release an official logline for the film.
Meanwhile, the universe of John Wick is set to grow with various upcoming projects. Before reprising his role as John Wick in John Wick 5, Keanu Reeves will be seen alongside Ana de Armas in the spinoff film Ballerina, scheduled for release on June 6th. Additionally, he will voice the character of John Wick in an anime prequel film that tells the origin story of “The Impossible Task.” Lionsgate has stated that this animated tale is intended for a more mature audience, which should come as no surprise given the nature of the deadly mission it depicts.
Legendary martial artist Donnie Yen is poised to reprise his role as the blind assassin Caine in a separate film spinoff, which is being referred to as an action-packed thriller similar to those that made Yen famous. Previously known as “The Batman Part II” writer Mattson Tomlin has been hired to pen the latest script for this upcoming, yet unnamed project. The story follows Caine after he breaks free from his commitments to the High Table. Filming is scheduled to begin in Hong Kong later this year. Yen, who will also take on directing and executive producing duties, expressed gratitude towards Lionsgate for allowing him to “raise the bar” for the franchise. It appears that the studio has no plans of slowing down its ascent.
