John Wick: Chapter 4 had what is easily one of the most epic fight scenes in the entire franchise. In the movie, John Wick had to fight up a flight of steps, only to get knocked down and have to fight his way back up again. With the making-of-documentary Wick is Pain hitting in 2025, it brought a lot of the behind-the-scenes moments from the franchise, which showed how groundbreaking it was back to life again. This includes one of the most difficult scenes to shoot, the stair fight scene from the fourth movie where Wick was trying to get to his final fight before it was too late. 175ch

Even though it was only recently officially confirmed, early details about John Wick 5 suggest that it will be the start of a new era for the franchise. It should be mentioned that the John Wick franchise doesn't necessarily need a fresh start, since all the movies have been major critical successes. Even the Ballerinaand the Caine spinoff seem like they will be exciting additions to the franchise, which began in 2014. However, given the ending of John Wick: Chapter 4, it makes sense for the fifth movie to be a fresh start for Keanu Reeves' assassin.

Ian McShane, who plays Winston in all four films of the John Wick franchise, shares hope for his return in the fifth installment. Despite having seemingly met his demise in John Wick: Chapter 4, Keanu Reeves' titular assassin was confirmed to return alongside director Chad Stahelski in confirmed John Wick: Chapter 5, a sequel that focuses on a new chapter of Wick's life. Winston, who was revealed to be his father at the end of the fourth movie, has been a resourceful asset for the assassin.

Exclusive: Oscar-nominated actress Ana de Armas teased the future of her character Eve in the John Wick franchise after the first spinoff movie Ballerina, hinting that she is carrying on the torch after Keanu Reeves. After a groundbreaking run of four movies that changed the face of action cinema, the John Wick franchise will debut its spinoff Ballerina on June 6, 2025. This movie will follow a young woman on a similar journey of revenge as John Wick, with de Armas playing Eve as she sets out to avenge her family.

Ballerina is finally arriving in movie theaters on June 6, 2025, after being pushed back a year from its original release date, and its box office projections are promising. John Wick stands as one of the most successful and influential action franchises in cinematic history, now with a reported John Wick 5 in the works. However, fans will first see the first true John Wick spinoff, following a young woman also trained as an assassin by the Ruska Roma on a mission to avenge her father.

The Bowery King is one of the most enigmatic characters in the John Wickfranchise, and his backstory is difficult to pin down. Laurence Fishburne's crime boss character was introduced in John Wick: Chapter 2, where he became one of John's allies due to their mutual hatred of the High Table. He controls the Soup Kitchen, a group of vagrants and panhandlers in New York City who act as an undetectable and unhackable intelligence network. He can often be seen tending to his pigeons, which he uses to send messages and small items across the city.

John Wick: Chapter 5has a high bar to reach following the success of Chapter 4, and there are many obstacles ahead. The fourth film in the John Wick franchise ended with Baba Yaga himself (Keanu Reeves) seemingly meeting his Maker after winning his freedom from the High Table. This conclusion was a fitting end to John's journey. Despite that, the movie still presented an opportunity for the saga to continue with its main protagonist due to its ambiguous ending.

When Ballerina steps into the ever-expanding world of John Wick, it does more than spin off - it pirouettes into a space all its own. Directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld) and led by a ferociously committed Ana de Armas (Knives Out), the film is both a tribute to the franchise’s sleek, brutal legacy and an exploration of what another big-screen Wick-verse story can look like. Ballerina is the first installment in the series not anchored by Keanu Reeves’ John Wick, yet his presence - literal and thematic - will be seen and felt.

The John Wickfranchise has gone from strength to strength since the first chapter, but its ambitious worldbuilding has created a few plot holes. John Wick is set for some spinoffs, including another foray into TV after The Continental. The first of these spinoffs is Ballerina, with Ana de Armas' movie coming soon.

I love Keanu Reeves as John Wick, but I don't think he needs to appear in one spinoff movie. After he seemingly died at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4, I thought we may never see Reeves' iconic character on the big screen again. However, this couldn't have been further from the truth. Not only has John Wick 5 been confirmed, but Reeves will also appear in the Ballerina. Anticipation is high for Ballerina since it is the first spinoff movie in the John Wick franchise.
