Keanu Reeves is of course coming back for John Wick: Chapter 4, with the cast also including singer Rina Sawayama in her feature film debut. Additionally, we’ve learned via Deadline tonight that Donnie Yen will also join the John Wick franchise in the fourth installment!
Donnie Yen (Ip Man, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) will play “an old friend of Reeves’ super assassin John Wick, who shares his same history and many of the same enemies.”
Lionsgate is currently set to release Chapter 4 on May 27, 2022.
The John Wick franchise has been incredibly successful and profitable for Lionsgate, with Chapter 3 pulling in $326 million worldwide back in 2019 – to date, a franchise best.
Chapter 4 will presumably pick up right after the events of Parabellum, with a bruised, broken (but still alive) John Wick taking the fight to the deadliest organization in the world.
Chad Stahelski (John Wick 1-3) is returning to direct.
