By Production on a fifth “John Wick” film is reportedly targeting a 2025 start with Keanu Reeves returning to the lead role according to DanielRPK (via Hollywood Handle)
The nearly three-hour “John Wick: Chapter 4” last year closed out its run with $440.1 million at the box-office from a $100 million budget and so – despite the events of that film – another chapter is understandable.
Shortly after the film’s release Lionsgate President, Joe Drake, confirmed that a fifth “John Wick” was “in development” with director Chad Stahelski a few months later indicating he had ideas for more. Script work got underway just after the strikes ended.
Then in January, Stahelski and Lionsgate announced a deal that gives him creative oversight over both the “John Wick” and rebooted “Highlander” franchises with the intent of expanding ‘Wick’.
The ‘Wick’ spin-off “Ballerina” underwent reshoots back in February and is on track for a June 2025 release, while the “John Wick: Under the High Table” TV series is in the works and will likely bridge the gap between the fourth and fifth films in the way next month’s “The Penguin” will do for the two Matt Reeves “The Batman” films.
