John Wick 4 has been delayed by a full year, Lionsgate announced on Twitter. The new movie was initially planned to announce in May 2021. Now, the film is set to release on a new date of May 27, 2022.
The “John Wick” sequel was in works at Lionsgate and is now being pushed back a full year. Initially, the movie was set to release in May 2021. Now the release date is being filled by “Spiral,” the Saw movie reboot. The release date makes sense after Keanu Reeves’ Matrix 4 production was halted due to COVID-19 after only four weeks in the shooting.
Keanu Reeves’ John Wick Chapter 4 isn’t the only Lionsgate movie that’s getting a new release date. COVID-19 has affected theatres and almost every aspect of our lives. The studio has announced new release dates for nine movies, including John Wick 4.
