John Wick 5 teased by Keanu Reeves franchise director ‘Will be actually completely different’ | Films | Entertainment | EUROtoday

John Wick seemly died on the finish of Chapter 4 and as Keanu Reeves returns in prequel Ballerina (set between Chapters 3 and 4) subsequent month, followers are questioning how he’ll return in John Wick 5.

After all, Lionsgate has confirmed the sequel with the Hollywood star returning, so presumably, he faked his personal dying?

Franchise director Chad Stahelski weighed in on the fifth movie in a brand new interview forward of the spin-off’s cinematic launch.

And by the sounds of it, John Wick 5 will probably be a very completely different kettle of fish.

Speaking with Empire, Chad teased: “The saga of John Wick was pretty wrapped up. So the only way to do a 5 is to have a new story that involves John Wick. It’s not a continuation, with the High Table. John dealt with his grief. It will be really different, and everybody [will] see the trailer and go, ‘Holy f***… I gotta see that.’”

Apparently, the upcoming anime prequel film (set earlier than the unique movie) and the Under The High Table spin-off TV sequence will “lay the groundwork” for the place John Wick 5 goes.

Chad added: “Our idea is to try some things and explore some threads and use those two properties to catapult us forward into the ideas for John 5.”

The new problem of Empire is out now and Ballerina hits cinemas on June 6, 2025.
