Keanu Reeves Returns for John Wick 5: 'Proper Next Step' Confirmed

The highly anticipated John Wick 5 has been officially announced, with Lionsgate confirming that the iconic 60-year-old actor Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as the legendary hitman. The exciting news was shared on-stage at CinemaCon by Adam Fogelson, the chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group. Development for John Wick: Chapter 5 is already underway, with the return of key figures such as Thunder Road producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and of course, star and producer Keanu Reeves. While fans eagerly await more details, no specific release window has been disclosed yet.

The decision to greenlight another installment in the John Wick series comes as no surprise, considering the phenomenal success of John Wick: Chapter 4, which grossed over $440 million worldwide. Each film in the franchise has impressively outperformed its predecessor, a rare achievement in the film industry. However, the announcement raises questions given the conclusive ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.

Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
