Mattson Tomlin will write the film’s script, with a draft written by Robert Askins.

Plot details are under wraps, but it will tell Yen’s story arc following the events of John Wick: Chapter 4, as Caine has been freed from his obligations to the High Table.

The film will be produced by franchise producers Basil Iwanyk and Erica Lee (John Wick: Chapters 1 through 4BallerinaMonkey Man) through their Thunder Road shingle, and by Chad Stahelski (John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum, Day Shift, John Wick: Chapter 4, Ballerina), who produces through his 87Eleven Entertainment production banner.
