Keanu Reeves as Wick.
John Wick
The first time Keanu Reeves’ title character meets Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King in John Wick, says the King, “The man. The myth. The legend.” Wick, he says, is “not very good at retiring.”
The King has been well proven several times, especially since the Wick franchise’s home studio, Lionsgate, has confirmed there will be one fifth film in the series, according to Deadline.
Here’s more from Deadline:
[Lionsgate] CEO John Feltheimer said: ‘We are also busy preparing scripts for our next two installations John Wick action franchise, with John Wick 4 slated to hit theaters Memorial Day weekend 2022. We hope to shoot both John Wick 4 & 5 back to back when Keanu becomes available early next year. ”The sequel, John Wick 4, is currently scheduled for May 27, Memorial Day weekend.
Reeves – who has been subjected to viral jokes about the possibility that he may be immortal because he simply does not appear to be old – will be in September 56, but it is clear he is not stepping at all. He plays with Alex Winter in Bill & Ted Face the Music, August 28 in the US, and has made the fourth installation in the Matrix series, although this was somewhat delayed by the coronavirus pandemic.
Deadline notes “Wick has become such a major action franchise for Lionsgate, “in worldwide box office revenues of more than $ 584 million and” there is a Starz John Wick TV series The continental who is looking for the premiere sometimes after the fourth film. “
This means that, in addition to the reliably entertaining action flick, the Wick films are money for the studio at a time when Hollywood is hitting the guts out of the pandemic to the filmline industry in general.
Reeves said GQ in 2019 that he would continue to make Wick movies “As far as the audience wants to go.”
The story lines for the upcoming installations are still top secret, however John Wick: Chapter 4 is currently set to premiere in almost two years on May 27, 2022. Hopefully the wait for number five will be much shorter.
