Keanu Reeves Returning for JOHN WICK 5; Donnie Yen Directing CAINE Movie

Lionsgate has officially confirmed that John Wick 5 is in early development, with Keanu Reeves set to return as the titular character. This confirmation came from Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Joe Drake during an earnings call, despite the seemingly final ending of John Wick: Chapter 4.

Alongside John Wick 5, Lionsgate is actively expanding the franchise with several other projects:

1. The spin-off film Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas (and featuring Reeves).
2. The prequel TV series The Continental, set to premiere on Peacock.
3. A potential spin-off film focusing on Donnie Yen's character, Caine. Reports suggest Yen is interested and may potentially be involved in directing this project, which could explore the aftermath of Chapter 4's post-credits scene involving Caine and Akira.

The studio's strategy is to build out the John Wick universe across multiple films, TV series, and potentially other media, leveraging the popularity of the core franchise and its characters.
