"John Wick 5 Confirmed: Keanu Reeves Returns for Next Chapter"

Author: Logan May 14,2025

Fans of the action-packed John Wick series have reason to celebrate: Lionsgate has officially announced John Wick: Chapter 5. The confirmation came straight from Adam Fogelson, the chair of the Lionsgate Motion Picture Group, during an exciting reveal at CinemaCon. The legendary Keanu Reeves, now 60, is set to reprise his iconic role as the titular assassin.

Development on the fifth installment is already underway, with the powerhouse team of Thunder Road's Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, alongside franchise director and producer Chad Stahelski, and star and producer Keanu Reeves, all returning to bring the project to life. While a specific release date hasn't been disclosed, anticipation is already building.

The decision to greenlight another mainline John Wick movie comes as no surprise, especially after John Wick: Chapter 4 raked in an impressive $440 million worldwide. Each film in the series has remarkably outperformed its predecessor, a rare achievement in cinema. However, the announcement raises questions, especially in light of the conclusion of John Wick: Chapter 4.

Warning! Spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4 follow.
