John Wick 5 is reportedly in the works with production set to commence in 2025.
The John Wick franchise has become a standout in the action genre, with Keanu Reeves’ portrayal of the iconic character cementing its legacy. Alongside the main films, several spin-offs have emerged, including the recent Peacock series, ‘The Continental,’ which fell short of expectations. Another spin-off in the works is ‘Ballerina,’ starring Ana de Armas, with Reeves returning as John Wick. However, according to Hollywood insider, Daniel RPK, a fifth John Wick film is already in the early planning stages, with Reeves confirmed to reprise his role. The previous installment, John Wick: Chapter 4, ended with the character’s apparent death, leaving fans curious about how the franchise will bring him back. Despite this, Keanu Reeves is officially set to return for John Wick 5, keeping the saga alive for future adventures.
