If there's one thing John Wick fans love, it's revenge. If there are two things, then the second one is "more John Wick." Happily, we learned today that we're getting the latter in spades, as John Wick 5 is actually being developed alongside John Wick 4, according to Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer.
John Wick 4, which was previously given a
May 2021 release date, hasn't begun shooting yet, having been
delayed in May by a full year. Now it's scheduled to hit theaters in May 2022, and Lionsgate plans to shoot John Wick 5 at the same time.
Series star Keanu Reeves has been busy lately making
Bill and Ted Face the Music, but Lionsgate is clearly eager for him to return to the role of the dog-loving hitman John Wick. As THR points out, the first three movies in the franchise made over $579 million worldwide. There's also a spin-off TV show,
The Continental, and a spin-off movie,
Ballerina, in the works.
