The Boogeyman returned to the big screen and saw Keanu Reeves back in action in John Wick: Chapter 4. After the blockbuster success of the movie, John Wick 5 is in early development. The news was confirmed during Lionsgate’s Q4 2023 earnings call when Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake confirmed that the fifth instalment is in the works.
Joe Drake said, “We’re now moving across that franchise, not just in the AAA video game space, but looking at what the regular cadence of spin-offs, television really growing that universe, so that there is a steady cadence of a franchise that there’s a clear appetite by the audience. What is official is that, as you know, Ballerina [starring Ana de Armas] is the first spinoff that comes out next year. We’re in development on three others, including John Wick 5 and including television series, The Continental, which will be airing soon. And so, we’re building out the world and when that five movie comes, will be organic – will be organically grown out of how we’re starting to tell those stories. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick.”
During the CCXP event in São Paulo, Brazil last year, Keanu Reeves had hinted that the spin-off Ballerina is set in the time period between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4. Reeves has a cameo whereas Ian McShane and the late Lance Reddick will reprise their roles.
Starring Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, and Ian McShane, John Wick: Chapter 4 released in theatres on March 24, 2023. It was a direct sequel to the 2019 film John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
