Lionsgate has released a teaser trailer announcing that the next installment in the John Wick universe is now in production.
While the movie has been in production for a few days, the slick teaser has just gone live today, and you can see it below.
The next movie in the series is based on Donny Yen’s blind assassin Caine, who first appeared in John Wick 4, and the man overseeing the John Wick universe, Chad Stahelski, insists that Reeves’ Wick will not be appearing in that story: “The Donny Yen spinoff doesn’t have the John Wick character. It’s got Donny Yen, and it’s an ode to kung fu movies.
Reeves and Stahelski finally have ‘idea’ for John Wick 5 as Caine spinoff begins filming
“If John Wick 1 was about Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, this is about Chow Yun-fat, John Woo, and Wong Kar-wai. So I think that one is a little easier to get it across to audiences because it’s in a sub-genre of what we love.”
The story picks up from a cliffhanger of sorts that came at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4, teasing the next chapter in Caine’s story.
On the movie itself, Yen recently said: “I have a couple of ideas in my mind of how I would like the story to go. But we’ll see. I don’t want to give away too much because I don’t know if I’m in that position to give that away. But they’ve been very persistent, and they’ve been very passionate about me taking on this project.”
Donnie Yen talks plans for his John Wick spin-off, Caine… including directing plans
We have just learned that John Wick star Keanu Reeves and Stahelski have finally come up with an idea for John Wick 5, meaning Caine’s story may lead directly into Wick’s return.
On top of this, we know that an anime John Wick movie is coming too, along with a High Table TV series, a video game, and potentially a western movie set in the world of Wick, so Caine will be far from the end of the Wick universe.
Yen’s Caine was one of the most fun and interesting new additions to the Wick story in the fourth movie, so this is one that I am definitely excited for.
Thoughts? I know you have them and I wanna hear ’em all.

Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
