John Wick 5 In Early Development

John Wick: Chapter 4 broke a franchise record in becoming the first of them to cross $400 million in box office takings. With its success, it looks like it will spawn a whole new outlook for John Wick with Lionsgate boss Joe Drake confirming number five is in early development during Lionsgate’s Q4 2023 earnings call.

“We’re now moving across that franchise, not just in the AAA video game space, but looking at what the regular cadence of spin-offs, television really growing that universe so that there is a steady cadence of a franchise that there’s clear appetite by the audience, what is official is that, as you know, Ballerina is the first spinoff that comes out next year. We’re in development on three others, including [John Wick 5] and including television series, The Continental, will be airing soon. And so, we’re building out the world and when that five movie comes, will be organic, will be organically grown out of how we’re starting to tell those stories. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick.”
