John Wick 5 is officially under development. Despite Keanu Reeves’ recent indications regarding the future of his character John Wick, Lionsgate’s executive Jenefer Brown has confirmed that a fifth movie in the highly popular franchise is on its way.
John Wick 5 Confirmed To Be In Development
Brown, the Head of Global Products and Affairs at Lionsgate, while speaking to Comicbook.com, put to rest all speculation about the future of the franchise. She didn’t stop at this revelation, though. She also confirmed a first-ever spin-off movie, Ballerina, is already in the pipeline and eagerly waiting to be released to the world.
The details provided by Brown make it clear that we’re standing on the cusp of significant expansion of the ‘Wick’ universe. In her own words, “This world continues to grow and expand in incredible ways.” Along with the aforementioned Ballerina and John Wick 5, she also hinted at the possibility of more spin-offs, an impending TV series, and even a video game. It’s apparent that Lionsgate is leaving no stone unturned to keep Wick’s world thriving.
Final Thoughts
This is exciting news, especially after hearing Reeves’s stance on the fate of his character. Brown’s revelations indicate that fans still have a lot to look forward to. However, it isn’t clear yet how the narrative will evolve after the events of the last installment or how John Wick’s character will be brought back into the action. Undeniably, the creators have a formidable challenge before them. Any time fans fall in love with a series, the challenge is to satiate them without oversaturating the market.
Much like the storyline of the ‘John Wick’ franchise itself, this unfolding situation is a developing story we would all love to keep an eye on. As for now, let the anticipation build up. While John Wick 5 may not be coming to a theater near you anytime soon, there is plenty of content in development. The video game is especially intriguing. For now, we wait with the hope that this movie gets the green light soon and we can get more from the incredibly entertaining action series.
