20 Actors Returning For Upcoming Movie Sequels

John Wick: Chapter 4 well and truly felt like a fitting end to Keanu Reeves' tenure as the titular assassin, especially as he seemingly died a heroic, meaningful death at its conclusion.

But of course money talks, and with the film grossing an astonishing $447.3 million globally, it didn't take long for Lionsgate to announce that John Wick 5 was in development.

In the more than two years since, fans have speculated on precisely what a fifth John Wick would even look like, especially with Reeves and director Chad Stahelski remaining wishy-washy on John's fate at the end of Chapter 4, which is left just ambiguous enough to keep everyone guessing.

In late 2024 Reeves affirmed his interest in playing Wick again, though cited the physical challenges involved with his increasing age, and back in March confirmed that John is indeed dead.

However, the next month Lionsgate formally announced that Reeves would be involved with John Wick 5, prompting speculation that it would be part-prequel, with Reeves playing a supporting role as he did in the recent Wick spin-off Ballerina.

Either way, it'll certainly be interesting to see how John Wick 5 shakes out, considering the great many who felt that the fourth film delivered a perfect send-off for the character.
