John Wick: Chapter 5 (2025 Movie) First Trailer – Keanu Reeves

Hollywood's usual practices indicate that John Wick 5 should happen sooner rather than later, but a new update for the sequel has left me expecting otherwise. The discussions about John Wick 5 materialized shortly after John Wick: Chapter 4's release, which saw it earn critical acclaim and break box office records for the franchise. Typically, this would mean that Lionsgate would waste no time announcing another movie. John Wick 4's ending and the apparent death of John Wick (Keanu Reeves) complicated the idea of making a sequel, but I was still convinced that it would happen relatively quickly.

Reeves and franchise director Chad Stahelski have maintained there is potential for John Wick 5 to happen, although neither of them appear to be in any rush to make it. This sentiment has now carried over to reporting about John Wick 5's filming start date. While some rumors suggested that Reeves, Stahelski, and others would come back for the fifth installment sometime in 2025, those claims have now been debunked. That made me think about the future of the John Wick franchise, and I do not expect John Wick 5 to happen anytime soon now.
