John Wick 4 starring Keanu Reeves gets a new release date due to the coronavirus and filming on The Matrix 4.
Lionsgate announced the flick gets delayed by a year and will now get released on May 27, 2022, Memorial Day Weekend.
John Wick 4 had an original May 21, 2021 release date, but it was the same release date as The Matrix 4, which Keanu Reeves has to finish filming before the fourth John Wick.
Reeves was four weeks into filming The Matrix 4 before production was shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Director Chad Stahelski recently tackled the release dates in an interview.
“That was the whole Matrix same-day thing,” Stahelski explained to Collider about the release dates being on the same day. “That was a fubar thing, couple wires got crossed between studios [and] that was a misquote from someone else about how they’re coming out on the same day.”
Regarding Keanu Reeves finishing The Matrix 4 before John Wick 4, Stahelski said, “Keanu’s gotta go finish his commitment up on The Matrix, which is a big deal and which I think will probably take him until the end of the year. Then we have to go into our prep mode and then we’ll start.”
