John Wick 5 in the works

The John Wick universe continues to expand.

Lionsgate has unveiled plans for its Keanu Reeves-starring franchise by confirming that a John Wick 5 is in the works.

Studio CEO Jon Feltheimer also announced during an analyst call that the fourth and fifth installments would shoot back-to-back.

He told The Hollywood Reporter that they are also busy preparing scripts for the next two installments of the John Wick action franchise, with John Wick 4 slated to hit theaters Memorial Day weekend 2022.

Feltheimer says they hope to shoot both John Wick 4 and 5 back-to-back when Keanu becomes available early next year.

The John Wick action franchise, which stars Keanu Reeves and is distributed by Lionsgate, has been a critical and box office smash, with the three movies generating over $US579 million worldwide.

Reeves is currently shooting Matrix 4 in Berlin, after production on the Warner Bros franchise film had to be halted due to COVID-19.
