Lionsgate Plans Multiple John Wick Films, Including Chapter 5

At CinemaCon, Lionsgate officially announced the development of John Wick: Chapter 5, with Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski returning to their roles. Alongside the sequel, an animated prequel exploring the 'Impossible Task' that nearly allowed Wick to retire is also in the works, directed by Shannon Tindle. Additionally, a spin-off film starring Donnie Yen as Caine is set to begin filming this summer. The announcement has generated excitement among fans, although some initially speculated it might be an April Fools' prank. Meanwhile, Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, humorously expressed confusion over the announcements, mistaking John Wick's return for a horror film revival. This multifaceted expansion of the John Wick universe highlights Lionsgate's commitment to evolving the franchise despite prior narrative conclusions.
