John Wick 3: Parabellum, the best movie of all time, is getting not one, but two sequels, as John Wick 4 and 5 will film back to back!
Saddle up, John Wick fans: the greatest film ever made is getting not one but TWO sequels, and that’s not even the good news. Deadline reports that John Wick 4 and 5 will film back to back early next year.
Lionsgate CEO John Feltheimer revealed the news on an earnings call. “We’re also busy preparing scripts for the next two installments of our John Wick action franchise, with John Wick 4 slated to hit theaters Memorial Day weekend 2022. We hope to shoot both John Wick 4 and 5 back to back when Keanu becomes available early next year.”
Reeves is currently filming a sequel to another one of his famous action franchises: The Matrix 4 is shooting in Germany.
In addition to shooting two sequels back to back (which also happened The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions), the John Wick universe continues to expand with an upcoming series on Starz called The Continental. That series will follow the adventures of assassins other than Wick, with an anticipated debut sometime after John Wick 4.
Grossing over $584.2 million despite relatively modest budgets, the previous three installments were major successes for Lionsgate, and with each film slowly peeling back the layers of the world John Wick inhabits, expanding the universe is an easy call. Lock and load.
