Fans have been waiting quite some time for the next John Wick instalment following the release of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum back in 2019.
While we still don't know the finer details of the plot for John Wick: Chapter 4, producers have teased: "With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin".
Production for John Wick: Chapter 4 finished up this October with the film scheduled for release in March 2023.
Chapter 4 is set to be the first half of a two-part conclusion to the action series.
There's no need to mourn the franchise too much, though, since both a spin-off film and a prequel series are already in the works.
Firstly, there's Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas as a young woman with killer skills who sets out for revenge after her family is killed by hitmen.
Production for this film has just started, but already we know that Keanu Reeves will be making an appearance, so there's plenty more Wick on the way.
Ian McShane will also be reprising his role as Winston, manager of the Continental Hotel, in the spin-off film.
As if that weren't enough, Peacock has announced that fans can expect prequel TV series The Continental as soon as March 2023.
The mini-series, starring Mel Gibson, Colin Woodell, and Peter Greene, will follow the chain of Continental hotels located around the world functioning as neutral territory for members of the criminal underworld.
In this three-part special, set in 1970s New York, hotel manager Winston Scott will be played by Colin Woodell rather than Ian McShane.
Because of this time leap, it's also unlikely that fans will see Keanu Reeves feature.
John Wick: Chapter 4 will be released in cinemas on March 24, 2023.
