The next John Wick spin-off, Caine, will be the first film in the franchise not to feature Keanu Reeves as John Wick. The move signals Lionsgate’s intention to expand the series beyond its original lead, despite Reeves and director Chad Stahelski being attached to a planned fifth main instalment.

Donnie Yen will reprise his John Wick: Chapter 4 character Caine and direct the film. Bill Nighy, Mason Thames, Dacre Montgomery and Rina Sawayama are also confirmed to appear; filming finished earlier in 2026, and the article expects a cinema release before the end of 2027, though no date has been announced.
