Four years after “John Wick Parabellum,” Keanu Reeves took on the role of the famous hitman again for a fourth work, which was a great success with the general public. Just two months after its theatrical release, the president of Lionsgate, the production company behind the famous saga, confirmed a sequel to watch or rewatch Prime Video. “The official thing is that, as you know, Ballerina is the first spin-off to be released next year. And we are currently developing three more projects, including the fifth part of John Wick and a television series, The Continental, which will be broadcast soon. We are building a universe that, when the fifth comes, will be organic,” he revealed during a conference a few months ago. Since then, the Continental series has seen the light of day on Prime Video, but where is the fifth film project?
John Wick 5: “It will be a completely different chapter…”
In an interview with the website Screen Rant, Basil Iwanyk, the producer of the saga starring Keanu Reeves, announced news about the sequel to John Wick. “What I love about the ending of John Wick 4 is that it’s a great conclusion, even if it means there will never be another movie. If there is another John Wick, I think it will be a completely different chapter” he explained at first, before continuing: “It won’t take place six months after John Wick 4. We don’t know what the film will look like yet, but we love spending time together, we love this whole process. We’re already starting to miss it. As crazy as it may sound, these films are really difficult to make, but they are very demanding. I’m not talking about the box office results, but the editing, the preparation, the casting… It’s all very pleasant.”
