- From John Wick’s World: Ballerina Does not create events that come in John Wick Chapter 5
- Ballerina‘s position on the John Wick -time line made it impossible, admits its director
- John Wick icon Ian McShane says discussions are ongoing about the titular Hitman’s next story
There were never any discussions about how From John Wick’s World: Ballerina could configure John Wick Chapter 5.
It is according to Ballerina Director Len Wiseman who told Techradar that such a scenario was due to Ballerina‘s position on the John Wick Time Line.
For those who may not be aware of: Ballerina is set between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and John Wick Chapter 4. Chronologically, it means that it is the fourth movie that fans should watch as part of any wick-verse movie marathon. For more information about this front, see my guide to how to watch the John Wick movies in order.
But I’ll take off. With Ballerina‘s story wrapped before John Wick Chapter 4 Beginning, it would not make sense for the Ana de Armas-led rate to pave the way for Keanu Reeves’ next excursion as the titular assassin.
When I asked if there were ever any plans to set up John Wick Chapter 5‘s plot within the history of Ballerina or via a post-credits scene, Wiseman replied:’ With this we were focused solely on what Ballerina‘s story was.
“Because it spans the third and fourth John Wick movies, there were no conversations about what this necessarily does John Wick Chapter 5. So no, we just focused on this story and how we can bring Eva’s character into this world. “
It is not to say that internal conversations have taken place about what John Wick 5‘s story could be. In a separate interview, I asked Ian McShane, who has played the continental New York Manager Winston Scott in the five films of the franchise so far if he had heard anything about the next Reeves-Fronted Rate, which is still in the very early stages of development.
“There are many options,” McShane teased. “But no one seems to know what is going on with it at the moment.
“Of course, they [John Wick’s chief creative team] want it to continue as long as possible. There is an anime movie that gets amazing and there is a possible TV series called Under the high tableAs I think they are delivering the manuscripts to the right now.
“I don’t think anyone thought the John Wick universe would be as big as it is,” added McShane, “and now it’s all about keeping the monster under control while expanding in new directions. That’s why we’ve got this movie BallerinaAs I think len [Wiseman] did a very good job with and ana [de Armas] is great in. You need to have fresh blood coming into franchises like this to help it grow. “
In short, we’ll just have to wait for more details from the “gun -fu” creatures’ about what John Wick Chapter 5 will bring. Meanwhile, be ready to see From John Wick’s World: Ballerinaalias one of 2025’s most exciting new films that will make its worldwide theater debut on Friday, June 6.
