Lionsgate has confirmed that the fifth installment of the “John Wick” franchise is underway. Reprising their roles are Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski. The news, unveiled at CinemaCon, comes after John Wick: Chapter 4’s successful run, which ended with the death of the titular assassin and collected a global box office of over $440 million. The franchise’s first film debuted in 2014, with Reeves playing the eponymous hitman drawn back into the criminal underworld.

– Lionsgate has confirmed development on John Wick: Chapter 5, with Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski returning.
– The franchise, which started in 2014, has grossed over $1 billion worldwide, with the fourth installment making $440 million.
– Besides the main franchise, a spinoff film Ballerina and new series John Wick: Under the High Table are also in the works.
After much speculation around the future course of the franchise, John Wick: Chapter 5 is officially making progress at Lionsgate. Both Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski return for this venture, following the previous chapter which concluded with the demise of the central hitman character.
Adam Fogelson, the chair of Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, made an announcement at CinemaCon on Tuesday, stating that the studio is pursuing the development of a fifth chapter in the action-packed franchise. Lionsgate is working on this project alongside Thunder Road producers, Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, franchise director and producer Stahelski and producer-actor Reeves.
Fogelson, speaking about the franchise which has grossed over a billion dollars at the global box office, stated that “Keanu, Chad, Basil, and Erica would not return unless they had something truly remarkable and unique to bring to the table with these characters and this universe. “We are eager for audiences to discover what direction the journey takes next.”
Iwanyk and Lee jointly commented on the endeavor, “It is paramount to ensure that John’s story is narrated right and given the right evolutionary steps. It is thrilling to embark on this journey.”
John Wick: Chapter 4 released in theaters in 2023 and accumulated over $440 million at the worldwide box office. The movie concluded with characters Winston portrayed by Ian McShane and Laurence Fishburne’s Bowery King, standing at a gravesite honoring John Wick.
The original John Wick, released in 2014, initiated the franchise, stars Reeves in the lead role of a retired hitman who is drawn back into the criminal world. There are also related projects such as a spinoff movie Ballerina that will be released on June 6, and a newest series John Wick: Under the High Table which is in the process of development by executive producers Stahelski and Reeves.
In May 2023, the then Lionsgate chair Joe Drake hinted at potential plans for a fifth film. “We’re expanding the universe and when the fifth movie comes, it will be a natural progression stemming from the way we’re beginning to narrate those stories,” Drake stated.
