The popular Keanu Reeves character will return in the upcoming film "John Wick: Chapter 5," Lionsgate announced during CinemaCon 2025 on Tuesday. Franchise director Chad Stahelski is slated to return to the film, as well as producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee from Thuder Road to develop the film. Reeves will star and produce.

As a result, Keanu Reeves is returning to cameo in the new film, which is out this summer. In recent interviews, the titular star has been asked about resurrecting his assassin and now Lionsgate has confirmed he will star in John Wick 5 alongside announcing two other movies.

John Wick lives…for real. After just announcing that Lionsgate would return to the world of John Wick with an animated prequel film, the studio is in development on a fifth John Wick movie — “Chapter 5” —with Keanu Reeves again set to return to the billion-dollar franchise.
