This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
John Wick 5 gets a reassuring new script update and more franchise spinoffs are confirmed to be in development. Following the explosive and ambiguous John Wick: Chapter 4 ending, the world of the assassin franchise was further expanded in the recent spinoff show, The Continental, with an additional Ana de Armas-led spinoff movie called Ballerina set to bow next year. While Lionsgate also was quick to announce a fifth chapter in the Keanu Reeves saga, Reeves and director Chad Stahelski have offered more measured responses regarding their involvement in additional films.
Now, at a recent earnings call (via ComicBook.com), Lionsgate Motion Picture Group Chair Joe Drake provides a John Wick 5 update, while also teasing further franchise expansion. A fifth film is seemingly now in the script stage following the end of the WGA strike, as are additional spinoff properties. Check out Drake’s full comment below:
“On the Wick side we got multiple spin-offs and a Wick Five. We started to work on (it) right when the writer’s strike started and we’ve gotten back to work as soon as it ended.”
More to come…
