After Ballerina, when will we see John Wick 5?

A priori, it is not for now. But the franchise may well come back with another spin-off to make us wait.

That Ballerina was released in theaters, the question that kills: when will come back John Wick ? When will the next chapter of the action saga?

Chad Stahelskiawarded director of the franchise, takes stock of John Wick 5 in an interview with Hollywood Reporter. And obviously, the project advances slowly:

“Mike Finch (the screenwriter of John Wick 4) and I have a fairly solid story. A story that I find cool. Once you will have a 50 -page document, if you feel that you keep something, you sit with Keanu to shape it all. “

Attention spoilers!

The main challenge to write this new opus remains the state in which we left the character of John Wick At the end of the fourth film (dead, officially). Stahelski recognizes that the equation is complex:

“I’m not going to lie to you, it’s a real headache. But everyone seems to want this film. It remains to be seen if we manage to unlock the thing. We actively work on it. The question is: will it be satisfactory?”

For the moment, the project is still in development, officially launched by Lionsgate, with Keanu Reeves ready to stack if the scenario holds the road. But Stahelski remains cautious and suggests that he will not hesitate to abandon if the rest is not justified:

“The Liosngate studio really wants it to be done. They were great with us, they asked us to try, and we have some good ideas. So we’re going to try it.”

While waiting to see if John Wick 5 will materialize, the franchise will continue to extend with The spin-off Cainecentered on the character embodied by Donnie Yen in the fourth part. A well advanced project, but – unlike Ballerina – It will be Without Keanu Reeves this time:

“The spin-off with Donnie Yen does not contain the character of John Wick. It is a tribute to the Kung-Fu cinema. If John Wick 1 Inpirable from Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, he summons Chow Yun-Fat, John Woo and Wong Kar-Wai. It should be easier to pass to the public because we stay in an sub-genre that we love. “

No release date has yet been announced.
