During the CinemaCon event, Keanu Reeves was confirmed to return to his role in “John Wick 5”. The director of the first four films, Chad Stahelski, will once again helm the franchise.
“John Wick 5” will once again feature Keanu Reeves as the lead in the action film franchise that has grossed over $1 billion worldwide.
In addition to Keanu, key names such as director Chad Stahelski and producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee are also returning for the production of the fifth film.
The announcement was made on Tuesday (1st) during CinemaCon by Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Adam Fogelson.
“Keanu, Chad, Basil, and Erica wouldn’t be coming back unless they had something truly phenomenal and innovative to bring to these characters and this universe,” Fogelson told Entertainment Weekly.
Producers Iwanyk and Lee said that care must be taken with the decisions made about the future of “John Wick 5”.
“It’s very important to get this story right and take the proper next step in John’s journey. It’s exciting to take that first step,” they stated.
Their comments came after the ambiguous ending of “John Wick: Chapter 4” (2023), which suggested that Keanu Reeves’ character may have died after a duel. “John Wick 5” does not yet have a release date.
Keanu Reeves will make an appearance in “Ballerina,” a spin-off of the franchise starring Ana de Armas, which hits theaters on June 6. The film takes place between “John Wick: Chapter 3 Parabellum” and “John Wick: Chapter 4”.
