Summary

Hollywood ’s usual practices indicate thatJohn Wick 5should happen preferably rather than by and by , but a newfangled update for the sequel has left me expect otherwise . The discussion aboutJohn Wick 5materialized shortly afterJohn taper : Chapter 4 ’s release , which determine it earn decisive acclaim and break box seat office records for the enfranchisement . Typically , this would mean that Lionsgate would waste no time announce another movie . John Wick 4 ’s ending and the apparentdeath of John Wick ( Keanu Reeves)complicated the thought of making a subsequence , but I was still convinced that it would encounter comparatively quickly .

Reeves and franchise director Chad Stahelski have sustain there is potential forJohn Wick 5to happen , although neither of them appear to be in any upsurge to make it . This sentiment has now carry over to reporting aboutJohn Wick 5 ’s filming start date . While some rumors suggested that Reeves , Stahelski , and others would come back for the fifth installation sometime in 2025 , those claims have now been debunked . That made me imagine about the future of theJohn Wickfranchise , andI do not expectJohn Wick 5to take place anytime soon now .

Despite being confirmed , John Wick : Chapter 5 is one of the most mysterious - and uncertain - approaching movies , as the John Wick 5 news so far appearance .

John Wick 5 Has Taken A Back Seat To Chad Stahelski’s Highlander Commitments

He Has A Different Franchise To Start

The biggest delay forJohn Wick 5at the moment appears to beChad Stahelski ’s commitment toHighlander . He is set to helm a reboot of the fantasy serial publication , with Henry Cavill playing the lead role . Production is slat to lead off in 2025 , andCollider ’s reportage that expose the idea that Stahelski could doHighlanderandJohn Wick 5the same twelvemonth said,“Stahelski ’s full focus , creatively and mentally , is on directing , writing , and produce Highlander . “This makes me think that Stahelski will not drop much clock time think about or developingJohn Wick 5until afterHighlander .

The reason why Stahelski has seemingly putJohn Wick 5on the backburner likely comes down to his plans forHighlander . The hope is that this will becomea major enfranchisement whereStahleski can oversee the creation of spinoffs , prequels , and sequels . That ’s what he managed to do withJohn Wick , and that was only possible because of how inviolable each installment is on its own . Stahelski ca n’t give for the first movie to be a flop then , and splitting his attention between it andJohn Wick 5could hurt both labor in the longsighted foot race .

" Stahelski ’s counselling also shines most in this instalment , where he gets to apply a creative vision that feels both familiar and Modern . And with the undeniably hypnotic medicine by Bates and Richard and profound mixing , these elements assist in maintaining the bet while heighten the sense to leave in a satisfying viewer experience . “-Patrice Witherspoon - Screen Rant ’s John Wick 4 Review

John Wick 5 Might Still Be 4 Years Away Now

Development Could Take Time

I now of the mind thatJohn Wick 5could still be days away from filming . We ’re already over halfway through 2024 , andStahelski is probable to be occupied withHighlanderfor all of 2025on some level . The movie does not have an official release date , but that production timeline could signal Henry Cavill ’s film will debut in 2026 . I could see a world where Stahelski start preppingJohn Wick 5whileHighlanderis still in post - production , allow him to reunite with Keanu Reeves to start filming in 2026 , but that ’s the best - fount scenario .

There is also the option whereJohn Wick 5does not start production until sometime in late 2026 or even waits until 2027 . That would mean you and I will have to wait until potentially 2028 to see how they ramp up offJohn Wick 4 ’s endingand bring Keanu Reeves ' character back . And even if Stahelski does do someJohn Wick 5prep while he ’s work on on all prospect ofHighlander , if the picture is n’t going to start shoot until 2026 at the earliest , a 2027 dismissal date is the former fortune for the subsequence to be secrete .

The John Wick dealership comprises compelling lead characters who appear in every movie as well as supporting characters who still make an depression .

John Wick 5 Not Happening Soon Risks Breaking A Chapter 4 Franchise Record

The Wait Could Be Unprecedented

This likely agenda forJohn Wick 5that I ’ve laid out does think of that the pic could be in line tobreak a franchise criminal record by being the sequel that has the longest spread between it and the anterior installment . John Wick : Chapter 2came out three years after the first film , whileJohn Wick : Chapter 3 - Parabellumhas the shortest disruption of the franchise since it came out only two year afterward . John Wick : Chapter 4set a new franchise phonograph recording by having four long time pass after the third installment , which was part due to COVID-19 shutdown .

There is now a luck thatJohn Wick 5will take longer to befall thanJohn Wick 4 . Even my best - type scenario suggests that audiences will have to wait four years again between the master installments in the enfranchisement . The more likely outcome might bea five - year gap between the fourth and fifth entries , which would be a franchise record then .

That said , John Wick 5 ’s long crack between it andJohn Wick 4should be a second more bearable thanks to the franchise ’s elaboration . Ana de Armas’Ballerinaspinoff will come out in 2025 , and Donnie Yen ’s untitled Cain spinoff could issue forth in 2026 . Keanu Reeves is already slated to appear inBallerinatoo , so we will get a bit more of his character even ifJohn Wick 5takes longer to bechance than I previously expected .
