However, take all of this with a huge grain of salt as nothing has been officially confirmed by Warner Bros. or Gibson himself.
Despite the lack of confirmation, Gibson did reveal in a London interview in November 2021 (via Deadline) that he was in talks to helm Lethal Weapon 5 and also direct the film to honor his friend and original franchise producer Richard Donner, who passed away in July 2021. Later in 2022, Gibson also expressed confidence in a Screenrant interview that the film could arrive in 2023. However, as of December, no updates have been offered regarding the sequel aside from Daniel RPK’s scoop.
