The three films about John Wick has grossed over a half-billion dollars on the global box office, so why not get two new in the mix as well? On August 6 2020, Lionsgate announced that a fifth film is in the work.

The fourth and the fifth instalments are planned to be shot back-to-back.

“We’re also busy preparing scripts for the next two instalments of our John Wick action franchise, with John Wick 4 slated to hit theatres Memorial Day weekend 2022. We hope to shoot both John Wick 4 and 5 back-to-back when Keanu becomes available early next year,” Studio CEO Jon Feltheimer announced.

For the time being, Keanu Reeves and Lionsgate has generated over $579 for the three first movies. These films have become a signum of a modern action-movies and propelled Keanu Reeves acting-career to a new level.

John Wick 4 was slated on 2022, May 27 instead of May 21, 2021. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s unclear when the double-shooting will begin. Reeves is currently working on Matrix 4 in Berlin.
