The much-anticipated fifth installment of the John Wick franchise is now official, with Lionsgate confirming that the 60-year-old Keanu Reeves will reprise his iconic role. The announcement was made by Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during a thrilling presentation at CinemaCon. The development of "John Wick: Chapter 5" is underway, with key figures from the franchise returning, including producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee from Thunder Road, director and producer Chad Stahelski, and, of course, star and producer Keanu Reeves. While fans eagerly await more details, no specific release window has been announced yet.
The decision to greenlight another mainline John Wick movie is a logical one, especially considering the impressive performance of "John Wick: Chapter 4," which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the series has successfully outperformed its predecessor, a rare and remarkable achievement in the film industry. However, the announcement raises questions given the conclusive ending of "John Wick: Chapter 4."
Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
