These are actually thrilling instances for followers of the action-packed, $1 billion John Wick film franchise.
Ballerina, the Ana de Armas-led John Wick spinoff that’s set between the third and fourth installments within the franchise, hits theaters this June. This week, an immersive “John Wick Expertise” opened at Area15 in Las Vegas, the leisure venue simply off the Vegas Strip. A Lionsgate govt has additionally made official a really thrilling piece of reports: {That a} new sequel within the John Wick saga, the long-speculated-about fifth film, is certainly taking place.
In an interview with ComicBook, Lionsgate EVP and Head of World Merchandise & Experiences Jenefer Brown confirmed {that a} new sequel is within the works (regardless of, in fact, the gorgeous clear ending of the fourth film that noticed Wick killed in a duel — the freaking film ended with a shot of his gravestone, for crying out loud). Neverthess: “This world continues to develop and develop in unbelievable methods,” Brown stated.
“Up subsequent, in fact, now we have Ballerina, which is our first spin-off film and [we] can’t await that to launch to the world. After all, we’ve introduced we’re engaged on a fifth John Wick movie. I feel there are extra spinoffs to come back, a TV collection, online game.”
Pressed on that time a few fifth film, Brown added: “We’ve shared that we’re creating a fifth John Wick movie … [John Wick] could also be [dead]. We’re all on baited breath ready to search out out.”
On condition that even Reeves himself has publicly stated he was beneath the impression the character died within the fourth film, my suspicion is that this fifth installment within the franchise received’t essentially “resurrect” John however can be about, effectively, one thing else. Corresponding to a have a look at no matter occurs to the Excessive Desk following John’s duel. The rise of a brand new murderer. Or the film might even bounce again in time and be a prequel, a have a look at the making of the titular murderer. The purpose is: The chances are positively there, with out having to resort to the annoyingly too-convenient “simply kidding, he’s not lifeless!”
Within the meantime, I do know that loads of the franchise’s followers can be trekking to Vegas to expertise the world first-hand.
The newly introduced John Wick Expertise at Area15 consists of greater than a dozen themed rooms, in addition to reside interactions and interactive sport play. “Every group of visitors can be tasked with finishing a mission that performs out in distinctive methods with characters, mythology, and iconography impressed by the Wick universe,” an announcement explains in regards to the spot, which counts John Wick filmmaker Chad Stahelski and his workforce at 87Eleven Leisure as artistic collaborators.
