‘John Wick: Chapter 5’: Lionsgate Boss Provides New Update!!

Few action franchises have proved to be as worthy an investment in the last 10 years as John Wick, which has four mainline movies, a feature spin-off film, and even a TV show under its belt. The John Wick franchise is far from over, though, even after the titular character appeared to meet his end at the conclusion of John Wick: Chapter 4. The next John Wick movie will be centered around a character first introduced in Chapter 4, Caine, with star Donnie Yen confirmed to reprise the role and even direct the spin-off. There’s also a John Wick animated series confirmed to be in development at Lionsgate, but very little is known about the project at the time of writing, other than it’s coming soon. There is, however, one big John Wick project in the works that’s bringing all the big stars and creatives out of their hiding holes.

The project in question is John Wick: Chapter 5, which was officially confirmed at CinemaCon in 2025 after being teased throughout 2024. Practically nothing is known about the mysterious project at this time, other than that director Chad Stahelski is returning to helm the film, which will indeed star Keanu Reeves as the legendary assassin. Lionsgate boss Adam Fogelson recently confirmed some of the first details about the project during an interview, and while it’s nothing earth-shattering, it’s still the best bit of official information about John Wick 5: “There are a lot of steps, so I wouldn’t want to put a timeline on it,” he said. Continuing, “But, in terms of finding a core idea, they [Chad Stahelski and Keanu Reeves] appear to have landed on something they’re excited about, and now we’ll see.”

When Does the John Wick ‘Caine’ Spin-Off Come Out?

Lionsgate has yet to set an official release date for the Caine spin-off movie, but production has been underway for a while now, so this announcement could very well be coming sooner rather than later. In addition to Yen as Caine and Rina Sawayama as Akira, the John Wick spin-off has recruited some notable names for key roles, including Bill Nighy, Dacre Montgomery, and even Mason Thames. Thames recently played the main character Hiccup in the live-action How to Train Your Dragon movie starring Gerard Butler.
