John Wick fans are waiting for a sequel: Will Chad Stahelski's new project make an impact?

Fans of the John Wick franchise will have to be patient, it seems. Despite the active development of the fifth part, filming will not begin as expected.

Chad Stahelski conquers new horizons

Director Chad Stahelski, who helmed the previous installments of John Wick, will not be able to begin shooting the new installment in 2025. Reason? New position at the Lionsgate film company. From now on, Stahelski is responsible for the entire "John Wick" franchise, as well as the reboot of the fantasy series "Highlander".

Mountaineer: a new start with Henry Cavill

Stahelski is now fully focused on relaunching Horyanin. This iconic series, which started in 1986 with Connor McLeod played by Christopher Lambert, gets a new life. Henry Cavill is now in the lead role, and filming will begin in early 2025 in Scotland.

The return of Keanu Reeves

As for John Wick, it is known that Keanu Reeves will once again return to the image of the hired killer, even despite the controversial ending of the fourth film. This means that his character will survive, but there are no more details about the plot yet.

Expansion of the John Wick universe

Meanwhile, the studio continues to expand the John Wick universe with spinoffs. The premiere of the action film "Ballerina" with Ana de Armas in the lead role is scheduled for June 6, 2025. Ian McShane will once again play the role of Winston Scott, and Keanu Reeves and the late Lance Reddick will also appear, for whom the role of Charon was the last.

New projects: TV show and anime series

In addition, work has begun on the TV show "Under the High Table" and the development of an anime series. This means that the John Wick franchise is not only expanding, but also getting new formats for its fans.
