5. John Wick: Chapter 5 (TBA)
‘John Wick: Chapter 5’ marks the next installment of the blockbuster action thriller franchise. The neo-noir film was confirmed to be in development by Joe Drake, the President of the Lionsgate Motion Picture, in May 2023. “What is official is that, as you know, Ballerina is the first spin-off that comes out next year. We’re in development on three others, including [‘John Wick: Chapter 5’] and including the television series, ‘The Continental,’ which will be airing soon,” the producer said at the time.
“We’re building out the world and when that ‘5’ movie comes, it will be organic — will be organically grown out of how we’re starting to tell those stories. But you can rely on a regular cadence of John Wick,” Drake added. However, in August 2023, Chad Stahelski, the director of the first four films, revealed that he still had to work out the script of the fifth one. The director stated in a podcast that while he and Reeves are eager to return to the franchise, they need to figure out a story first. So, the film is still in the early development stage, and its release date remains unconfirmed. However, we can expect Ian McShane and Laurence Fishburne to reprise their roles.
6. The Entertainment System Is Down (TBA)
Keanu Reeves will be starring alongside Kirsten Dunst, Samantha Morton, and Daniel Brühl in the upcoming A24 comedy directed by two-time Palme d’Or recipient Ruben Östlund. The cast also includes Tobias Menzies, Connor Swindells, Daniel Webber, and Lindsay Duncan. The social satire revolves around a group of people on a 17-hour flight and their boredom and subsequent interactions after the entertainment system in the plane goes down. Talking to Variety about the film, Östlund stated that the film is “a study of how human beings interact in this little laboratory that is a plane” and “will look at how modern human beings are wrecked under these circumstances.” The project is currently in its filming stage. FYI- The makers bought a real Boeing 747 (retired) for the film.
7. BRZRKR (TBA)
Netflix is developing a live-action film and an anime series based on the ‘BRZRKR’ comic book series by Reeves and Matt Kindt. The comics revolve around an immortal warrior named Berzerker, who fights his way through the ages. Reeves is set to produce and feature in both projects, with Mattson Tomlin serving as the writer of the film adaptation. The anime series will be a spin-off in which Reeves will lend his voice to his film character. The actor previously also expressed his interest in directing the live-action film. Both the film and the anime series are currently in production, and their release dates have not been announced yet.
8. Constantine 2 (TBA)
‘Constantine 2,’ a sequel to the 2005 superhero film ‘Constantine,’ is currently in the works with Reeves and director Francis Lawrence reuniting for the project. The actor reprises his role as the supernatural exorcist and demonologist John Constantine, based on the eponymous DC Comics character. Peter Stormare is expected to return as Lucifer. The plot of the horror film has not been disclosed yet but the writer Akiva Goldsman (‘A Beautiful Mind’ and ‘The Crowded Room’) confirmed in July 2023 that he hadn’t started “typing” the script yet even though he had a story in mind.
Goldsman also drew a parallel between Reeves and his character in an interview with Deadline: “The character is very much Keanu and the way he and Francis saw the world of good and evil, and the wonderful and authentic noir where there is a world behind the world of good and evil coexisting with our world right up close. Beyond that, we are still discovering it as I am writing the script.” Reeves recently pitched the project to DC and it waits to be seen how things turn out for the highly-anticipated sequel.
