Lionsgate has confirmed a fifth John Wick movie is in the works, with Keanu Reeves reprising his role as the eponymous character.
Titled John Wick: Chapter 5, the studio is developing the film with franchise director Chad Stahelski, who is also producing alongside Reeves and Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee.
Back in 2020, Lionsgate announced John Wick 5 would be filmed back-to-back with John Wick: Chapter 4, but those plans were scrapped due to the pandemic.

The ending of the fourth installment also called into question whether Reeves’ character could return, though the actor recently intimated that Wick’s purported death ruled out the possibility. Perhaps that was just a misdirection.
Outside of John Wick: Chapter 5, the action thriller franchise is set to expand with the upcoming spinoff, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas. Reeves, Ian McShane, and Lance Reddick will reprise their roles in the movie, which takes place during the events of Chapter 3.
Ballerina follows the 2023 Peacock prequel series The Continental. There’s also a spinoff based on Donnie Yen’s blind assassin Caine from Chapter 4 in the works.
