Three new John Wick movies on the way
Lionsgate took to the stand on Tuesday, and it didn't take long for them to set tongues wagging with news of THREE new John Wick movies: John Wick 5, an animated prequel and a spin-off film centred around Caine, the character played by Donnie Yen in John Wick 4.
Speaking about the animated prequel – which will be directed by Shannon Tindle (The Emoji Movie) and see the iconic hitman trying to complete the Impossible Task of killing all his enemies in one night – Lionsgate boss Adam Fogelson said: "In both animation and the world of John Wick, the possibilities are endless. And there is no John Wick story fans are clamouring for more than the Impossible Task. Shannon’s take on that story is an incredible one, and we are beyond excited to see what John Wick can do in animation.”
None of the new movies were given a release date – however, fans of the franchise don't have long to get their fix, as another spin-off movie, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, is arriving at Cineworld on June 6th of this year.
Fourth Spider-Man movie set for 2026 release
During Sony's presentation at CinemaCon, it was announced that a new Spider-Man movie is on its way – and it has a name. The fourth film in the Marvel franchise is due to come out on July 31st 2026, and will be called Spider-Man: Brand New Day. By the sound of it, that title alludes to the fact that the new movie represents a new beginning for the web-slinging hero. As Tom Holland said in a pre-recorded message: "I know we left you with a massive cliff hanger at the end of Spider-Man: No Way Home, so Spider Man: Brand New Day is a fresh start. It is exactly that. That’s all I can say."
And a new Spider-Verse film set to swing by in 2027
The first piece of news concerns a certain web-spinning superhero. Yes, during its CinemaCon presentation, Sony revealed that the final film in the Spider-Verse series has been earmarked for a June 4th 2027 release. Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse was originally meant to land in 2024, but, speaking at the Las Vegas showcase, producer Phil Lord and co-directors Bob Persichetti and Justin K Thompson, claimed that there's a good reason for the delay. “We decided we needed to take the time to make sure we got it just right,” Variety reported them as saying.
Sharing a trailer with the assembled throng, Lord revealed that this third movie in the Spider-Verse franchise will be "a massive finale to the trilogy” as Miles Morales, now exiled from the multiverse, makes a desperate attempt to return.
“We are prepping this movie especially for your large format screens,” Lord teased. “It looks insane.”
It's two years since the release of the second film in the series, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, with the first instalment, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, coming out in 2018.
