This is what we know about ‘John Wick 5’: Premiere, cast, plot, and more

‘John ​​Wick: Chapter 4’ has been released and has been a total box office hit since its first day in theatres. The saga has grown in popularity with each installment and Chapter 4 has been promoted as the end of the long road John Wick has come in search of his freedom since the second film. However, it should be noted that the story could have ended in the first film, but it was decided to continue it.

As well as spin-offs ‘Ballerina’ and ‘The Continental’that are in development, the ‘John Wick’ universe series starring Mel Gibson has left viewers wondering if the post-credits scene of “John Wick 4” hints at another spin-off of Akira’s character. After the success of “John Wick: Chapter 4” at the box office, it is natural to wonder if there will be a fifth installment of the franchise. However, the situation is unclear since both Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski seem to want to give the character a break.

This has led many to speculate about the future of the series, especially after the end of the fourth film. While it was technically confirmed before the release of ‘John Wick 4’, production on ‘John Wick 5’ changed dramatically once filming began.

Despite the fact that both installments were initially planned to be shot at the same time, the fourth film ended up incorporating elements that were originally planned for both, and managed to successfully wrap up the journey of the character we wanted to get to know.

Will there be a fifth John Wick movie or not?

The ‘John Wick’ team remained in the hands of the public the possibility of a sequel, especially considering the success that the fourth chapter has had at the box office and critics. Despite this, the end of ‘John Wick 4’ is rather ambiguous, as John Wick is seen seconds before his death, but his dead body is never shown.

Winston’s smile when asked if John is in Heaven or Hell suggests he may have just faked his death. Although the end of the fourth film seems to close the story with the death of John Wick, it also leaves open the possibility of resurrecting him if necessary to continue the franchise after what happened in the post-credits scene.

When could ‘John Wick 5’ be released after the fourth film?

The release date of “John Wick 5” It hasn’t been confirmed yet, since the project hasn’t been formalized yet or production has started. However, it is known that the spin-off of Ana de Armas, “Ballerina”, which takes place between chapters 2 and 4 of John Wick, has been filmed these months and its release is scheduled for 2024.

On the other hand, the TV series ‘The Continental’ is expected to premiere this year, but ‘John Wick’ is expected to take a break before its possible premiere in 2026.

Could ‘John Wick 5’ possible cast vary Keanu Reeves out?

It’s hard to imagine a John Wick movie without Keanu Reeves in the lead role. Taking into account that there are other spin-offs of the saga that do not bear the name of the main character because he does not appear, it is to be expected that if there is a fifth installment of ‘John Wick’, the protagonist will be played again by Reeves . Additionally, Ian McShane is likely to return as manager of the New York Continental and Laurence Fishburne will return to play the king of the underworld.

Unfortunately, actor Lance Reddick, who played the character of Charon in the previous installments, passed away shortly before the release of the fourth film. However, he can be seen in the spin-off “Ballerina”. As for the post-credits scene of ‘John Wick 4’, it left viewers wondering about a possible confrontation between Caine’s character played by Donnie Yen and Akira played by Rina Sawayama.

It is likely that both characters, or at least the survivor, will appear in “John Wick 5”. There are also chances that the Tracker played by Shamier Anderson will appear again, and it is speculated that Ana de Armas will join the cast of the main saga.

What would ‘John Wick 5’ try to accomplish?

The plot of ‘John Wick 5’ is uncertain due to the ambiguity of the ending of the fourth episode and the fact that the film was presented as a closure of the previous stories. While it’s unknown whether John Wick is dead or alive, the fifth installment likely won’t focus on the Continental, the High Table, or the dog-killing Russian crime families. It’s possible that the plot will focus on Keanu Reeves rescuing his kidnapped daughter or something similar.

We cannot wait for any trailer, picture or trailer for ‘John Wick 5’ until there is an official confirmation of the film’s production and it has begun. But, in case they are published, you can find them here.
