Two years after the premiere of Chapter 4, the confirmation came that John Wick will return with a fifth installment of the beloved action franchise starring Keanu Reeves. Chapter 5 was officially announced in the presentation of Lionsgate at the Cinemacon de Las Vegas yesterday (April 1).
Confirmation comes after a Lionsgate executive said last month that a fifth film was preparing, although at that time he did not confirm Reeves’ participation: “[John Wick] It could be [muerto]. We are all with the contained breathing hoping to know. “
In addition to the confirmation that Chapter 5 is in development, Deadline reports that Reeves will also return to star in the film, just like the director Chad Stahelski and the producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee. The premiere date was not announced.
What Keanu Reeves said about starring another John Wick movie
At the beginning of March, Reeves himself ruled out the idea that John Wick returned to a direct sequel, saying: “You know, the character is dead. I know, in Hollywood you can … I know, I know, it is the story of Hollywood. Right now, there is no planned sequel.”
Recently, it was revealed that another film derived from John Wick is being developed, with Donnie Yen as the protagonist and director. The action actor declared: “I try to do everything possible to contribute something new to the franchise. I do not want to reduce the expectations of fans. I try to do my best, as always.”
Reeves Wick will also appear in Ballerinaa spin-off prequel that follows Ana de Armas As Eve Macarro, a dancer trained to be murdered in the hope of avengeing the death of her family. The prequel will be developed between chapters 3 and 4.
