"John Wick 5" Gets Thrilling Update
Yara Sameh
Fans can rejoice as Jenefer Brown, the EVP and Head of Global Products & Experiences at Lionsgate, has confirmed that John Wick 5 is happening.
The Keanu Reeves-led franchise has so far spawned four installments and a limited series, in addition to an upcoming spin-off movie featuring Ana de Armas.
As per Brown, while a fifth entry is definitely on the way, it is possible that Reeves might not reprise his iconic role due to the events that transpired towards the conclusion of Chapter 4. However, she has not revealed anything about the John Wick 5 release date.
In a recent conversation, the long-term Lionsgate executive stated that the studio is actively working towards expanding the John Wick universe, which includes plans for "John Wick 5", as well as other connected entries.
While speaking with ComicBook.com at a preview event for the John Wick Experience in Las Vegas, Jenefer Brown noted, 'This world continues to grow and expand in incredible ways. Up next, of course, we have Ballerina, which is our first spin-off movie, and [we] can't wait for that to release to the world. Of course, we've announced we're working on a fifth John Wick film. I think there are more spinoffs to come, a TV series, video game.'
Nevertheless, Brown failed to confirm whether Reeves will be returning for John Wick 5. 'We've shared that we're developing a fifth John Wick film. [John Wick] may be [dead]. We are all on bated breath waiting to find out,' she remarked while addressing the possibilities of Reeves' return.
Despite the encouraging updates regarding John Wick 5, the project has yet to receive an official release date.
While fans wait for more updates on the sequel, they can enjoy themselves with "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina", which hits theaters on June 6.

"Michael" Likely Pushed to 2026, Split into Two Movies
Yara Sameh Michael Jackson fans will have to wait a little longer for Antoine Fuqua's biopic 'Michael.' During Lionsgate's Q4 2025 earnings call, CEO Jon Feltheimer shared an update on the film starring Jackson's nephew Jaafar Jackson, who makes his screen debut in the project. 'In regard to our Michael Jackson biopic, we're excited about the 3½ hours of amazing footage from producer Graham King and director Antoine Fuqua, and we will be announcing a definitive release strategy & timing in the next few weeks,' he said. 'I would note that it is likely we will move 'Michael' out of the fiscal year which will impact fiscal '26 financial results but will bolster an already strong fiscal '27 slate.' The fiscal calendar ends on March 31, 2026, so Feltheimer's statement indicates that the film (or films) will likely debut after April 1, 2026. Last month, Variety reported that the film would likely be split into two parts and be pushed from the initially announced release date of October 3, 2025. While 'Michael' was a major part of last year's Lionsgate CinemaCon presentation, no footage from the project was shown during this year's outing. The film, produced by 'Bohemian Rhapsody's' Graham King, wrapped principal photography in May 2024, but John Logan's script is in the process of being revised in advance of reshoots. 'Michael,' which carries a roughly $155 million budget, also stars Colman Domingo and Nia Long as family heads Joe and Katherine Jackson, while Miles Teller will play Jackson's attorney and advisor John Branca. Larenz Tate will star as Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, while Laura Harrier will portray pioneering female music executive Suzanne de Passe and Kat Graham will appear as the legendary Diana Ross. Other cast members include Jessica Sula ('Split') as La Toya Jackson, Michael's older sister; Liv Symone ('Power Book III: Raising Kanan') as Gladys Knight; Kevin Shinick ('Robot Chicken') as Dick Clark; KeiLyn Durrel Jones ('The Other Two,' 'How to Die Alone') as Jackson's former security-turned-trusted friend and confidante Bill Bray; and Kendrick Sampson ('Insecure') as industry icon Quincy Jones, who first met Michael Jackson when he was just 12 years old. The pair would go on to collaborate on three of Michael's most successful albums: 1979's 'Off the Wall,' 1982's 'Thriller' and 1987's 'Bad.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies
