Yes, John Wick 5 is in development, but there's no confirmed release date yet. Chad Stahelski is working on the story, but details are scarce. Who might return for John Wick 5? Keanu Reeves is expected to reprise his role as John Wick.
At the moment, there is no official confirmation about John Wick 5 being in development at Lionsgate. However, we know we will see the character again, as the saga keeps growing in different ways — a spin-off movie starring Ana de Armas and Reeves, Ballerina, will arrive in summer 2025.
Franchise star Ian McShane can't say for sure that his Winston character is the father of Keanu Reeves' John Wick, but he's happy to fuel the fan theories. In John Wick: Chapter 4, it was subtly teased that there may be a family connection between Winston and John Wick.
Played by Shamier Anderson, Mr. Nobody, also known as Tracker, is a bounty hunter with his sights set on Keanu Reeves' eponymous assassin, though bides his time taking Wick down until the reward hits a certain point.
Is Marcus John Wick's Dad? Marcus, who we see in the first movie, appears to be only an old friend of John's.

It seems unlikely that Marcus is John Wick's father, though.
Nevertheless, there are ways in which the fifth and final chapter could be told. John Wick had adventures before the first four movies, and such tales could be interwoven with present-day events. Likewise, it's highly likely that Wick isn't quite as dead as he would seem, allowing for one more blood-soaked story.
Yet by the time 2023's John Wick: Chapter 4 rolled around, Reeves was ready to put in one more final momentous performance and call it a day.

Why? Well, according to the Journal's report, Reeves himself "stripped" a good portion of John's dialogue in Chapter 4, with the support of franchise director Chad Stahelski, reducing his words by half and instead relying on body language and, of course, fighting.
Summary. Ian McShane hints at Winston's familial connection to John in John Wick: Chapter 4, but whether it's true or not remains unknown. The theory of Winston being John's father adds depth to their relationship, but it may undermine the moral compass and mystery of John's character.
