From The World Of John Wick: Caine – The Second Spin-Off Attempt

"What drew me to Caine is the contradiction. He carries love, responsibility, and sacrifice in a world built on consequence. That creates a very different kind of action hero," said Yen in March 2026. "This film is an opportunity to push the genre forward. My goal is to create the most definitive martial arts-infused action film ever made, one that honors what audiences love about John Wick while bringing a new emotional depth and visual language to the story. As both director and actor, I'm excited to shape this chapter in a way that reflects everything I've learned over decades in action cinema, while building something that feels entirely new."

The only story details shared state that the film "will follow Caine's story in the events post 2023's  John Wick: Chapter 4; the hitman freed from his obligations to The High Table." At this time of writing, there isn't a release date either. There is a fifth John Wick film in development, along with an animated prequel.

Donnie Yen is starring and directing from a screenplay written by Mattson Tomlin. Rina Sawayama is also reprising her role as Akira, though they appear to be the only confirmed cast members at this time. John Wick producers Thunder Road, including Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee, and Chad Stahelski, who will produce through the 87Eleven Entertainment production banner. Keanu Reeves and John Saunders will also produce. Yen will also serve as EP. When filming began, it appears the title will mirror that of Ballerina, as the official title is From The World Of John Wick: Caine.
