John Wick 5 starring Keanu Reeves confirmed alongside two more movies | Films | Entertainment

John Wick appeared to kick the bucket in Chapter 4, but we never saw a body, just a wounded man and then his grave.

Given the film franchise’s box office success, Lionsgate soon confirmed that John Wick 5 was in the works.

In the meantime, we’ve got Ballerina, a spin-off starring Ana de Armas set between Chapters 3 and 4.

As a result, Keanu Reeves is returning to cameo in the new film, which is out this summer.

In recent interviews, the titular star has been asked about resurrecting his assassin and now Lionsgate has confirmed he will star in John Wick 5 alongside announcing two other movies.

During their slot at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last night, the studio confirmed that Reeves and director Chad Stahelski have decided on the story they want to tell in John Wick 5. If that wasn’t enough, Reeves will also voice his hitman in an anime prequel set before the first film’s events. This movie will chart his “Impossible Task” that allowed him to retire from the underworld of assassins.

As for the third film, Donnie Yen’s Caine, the blind assassin from John Wick Chapter 4, is getting his own spin-off – as teased in the end credits of the last movie. Release dates for three newly announced John Wick movies remain to be confirmed. But in the meantime, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina hits cinemas on June 6, 2025.
