One of the biggest sagas created by Hollywood during the past decade is that of ‘John Wick’. What seemed destined to be a movie starring Keanu Reeves that it was released without making too much noise has already given rise to three sequels and since lionsgate They have already announced that they already have another march.
The project is still in an early stage of development, but next we will review everything we already know about ‘John Wick 5’ and we will be updating this article as soon as there are noteworthy news about the future of the best action “hero” in current cinema.
The history
It is clear that they have to invent something to explain what happened at the end of the fourth installment, but it was already dropped during their promotional campaign that they could play with the idea that the myth of the relentless murderer that is John Wick had died but that the person was still alive. Of course, Baba Yaga would have to end up reappearing unless they opt for a very different fifth part from the previous ones…
When is ‘John Wick 5’ released in theaters?
It’s only in development at the moment, a logical move by Lionsgate, but Keanu Reeves and Chad Stahelski They already commented that they were going to let the character rest for a while, so it is most likely that It will be several years until ‘John Wick 5’ is released in theaters. Come on, everything indicates that it will easily be a wait similar to the 4 years that passed between ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’ and the fourth installment, although there it was not something meditated, but the result of the stoppage of the audiovisual sector caused by the coronavirus .
Director
Stahelski has been the director of the four previous installments and Reeves has made it clear that an essential condition to star in ‘John Wick 5’ is to have him behind the cameras again. The four adventures of this legendary character are the only feature films he has directed so far, but He currently has a very tight schedule that invites you to think how long it will take him to return to this saga.
For example, Stahelski is expected to direct a new version of ‘The immortals’ with henry cavill as a protagonist, but it is also planned that he will direct ‘Rainbow Six’sequel to ‘No Regrets’ with Michael B Jordan retaking the character of John Kelly, the jump to the cinema of the video game ‘Ghost of Tsushima’a new adaptation of the novel ‘Black Samurai’ and a film version of the book ‘shibumi’. Since you have to wait for him to deal with all of them before you can see ‘John Wick 5’, the wait is going to be very long.
Cast and protagonists
The presence of Keanu Reeves it is the only one that is really essential for people to go see ‘John Wick 5’. And it is that the protagonist of unforgettable titles such as ‘Matrix’ or ‘Speed: Maximum Power’ -although the latter was left out of his selection of the 10 best films of his career- is the soul of this franchise.
For the rest, it would be strange not to see other old people known as ian mcshane (Winston) or Laurence Fishburne (King of the Bowery), but there’s more flexibility there in case they don’t fit the story they want to tell. Furthermore, with the character played by donnie yen (Caine) It is clear that at least a spin-off will be considered, but there it would be a surprise to see him in the fifth installment.
Of course, Stahelski recently commented on a series of actors with whom he would like to collaborate in a new installment of the saga before ‘John Wick 5’ was official. Then maybe no one will make an appearance, but still to convince him they have to give him the whim of getting one of his chosen ones…
