Hold onto your tactical suits, John Wick fans—because Baba Yaga is officially returning for round five! In a jaw-dropping announcement that’s already breaking the internet, Lionsgate just confirmed that John Wick 5 is officially in the works, with Keanu Reeves strapping back into his iconic bulletproof suit and director Chad Stahelski returning to helm the chaos. And trust us, this isn’t just another rumor—this is happening.
The news dropped like a grenade at this week’s Lionsgate panel, where Stahelski teased, “We’ve got way more story to tell—and more dogs to avenge.” Reeves, never one to shy away from stunts, added with his trademark grin, “John’s got unfinished business. Let’s just say… the High Table should’ve stayed quiet.” Cue fans losing their minds on Twitter, TikTok, and everywhere in between.
But here’s the kicker: After Chapter 4 wrapped with that ambiguous ending, everyone assumed Wick’s story was over. Nope. Stahelski spilled that the team’s been secretly brainstorming ideas since last year, fueled by fan demand and a “crazy, never-before-seen action sequence” they’ve been itching to film. Rumor has it, this installment could dive deeper into John’s shadowy past—think prequel-meets-sequel twists—and yes, more of those mind-blowing fight choreographies that redefine “gun-fu.”
Production is set to kick off early 2024, with Stahelski promising “bigger stakes, darker villains, and at least one scene involving a horse.” (No, really.) The real question? How many pencils will John Wick stab into skulls this time?
Fans are already theorizing wild plots, from Winston’s betrayal coming full circle to the return of long-lost allies (Caine, we’re looking at you). And let’s not forget the Ballerina spin-off tie-ins—could Ana de Armas’ assassin crash the party?
One thing’s clear: The boogeyman isn’t retiring anytime soon. John Wick 5 is locked, loaded, and ready to blow 2025 out of the water. Want more? Stay tuned—because if there’s one thing this franchise knows, it’s how to leave us begging for mercy… and sequels.
