Secondupdate.com – Lionsgate executive Jenefer Brown has confirmed that the action film John Wick 5 is currently in development.

This decision has surprised many fans, considering that at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023), the main character, played by Keanu Reeves, appeared to have died.

In an interview with ComicBook, Brown explained that the John Wick universe continues to expand with various new projects. In addition to the spin-off film Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, Lionsgate is also working on several other side projects, including a TV series and a video game.

Although John Wick 5 has been announced, there is still no confirmation on whether Keanu Reeves will reprise his legendary role. Brown did not provide any hints about the storyline or the possibility of the assassin’s return.

“This world continues to grow and evolve in incredible ways,” Brown told ComicBook about the franchise’s future, as quoted by NME.

On the other hand, Keanu Reeves himself has previously downplayed the possibility of returning for a direct sequel.

Aside from Ballerina, Lionsgate is also developing another spin-off featuring Donnie Yen as the lead. Yen will reprise his role as Caine, an assassin who first appeared in John Wick 4.

With numerous new projects in the works, the John Wick universe seems far from over. Fans will have to wait for further updates on the franchise’s future.
