Is Winston John Wick's dad?
John was born Jardani Jovonovich in a Padhorje village somewhere in the Byelorussian SSR of the Soviet Union to a Ruska Roma family on September 2, 1964. He was orphaned at a young age before being taken in by an old friend of his father, Winston, who would eventually become John's mentor.
"What I love about the end of John Wick 4 is, if this means that there's never another John Wick movie, it's a nice elegant way of ending it," he said in November 2023.
John Wick: Chapter 4 is the last installment in the mainline series says franchise creator Chad Stahelski, who still pointed out he isn't closing any doors on Keanu Reeves reprising the role.
After two rounds of the duel end in Caine and Wick injured but alive, John seems to make the decision to sacrifice his life in order to kill the Marquis. After all, killing Caine would free John from the High Table, but murdering the Marquis immediately after that would get Wick in trouble all over again.
While the John Wick franchise is great at world-building, there has been nothing in the previous three movies that hinted toward Winston being John's biological father. Though the pair grew closer with each consecutive release, they were nothing more than allies in the John Wick series.
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.
John Wick 5 would likely have to be a prequel for Keanu Reeves to return. Or, it could focus on totally new characters with a fresh cast. While fans may be excited to hear that John Wick 5 is potentially in the works, this announcement may also bring up some confusion.
Winston: [In Russian] Farewell, my son. With the spoken Russian and the Ruska Roma tattoo, it may well be that Winston was indeed the one who found and adopted Wick.
Keanu Reeves has made $22 million for playing John Wick, with the bulk of that being his $15 million salary for John Wick: Chapter 4. Reeves' salaries for the earlier John Wick movies ranged from $1-2 million to $2-2.5 million, showing a significant increase over time.
John Wick 5 cast: Is Keanu Reeves going to be in John Wick 5? Despite where he's left at the end of Chapter 4, we can't imagine a John Wick movie without Keanu Reeves, so he'll be back. Even though the movie is in development, we haven't yet had any official cast confirmations.
In a new interview with Empire magazine, Stahelski confirmed that he filmed two different endings for the movie during production, one of which would have ended the speculation over John Wick's fate. However, test audiences saw both versions and the ending that ended up in theaters garnered a better reception.
Is there anything extra at the end of John Wick 4?
Both the blind swordsman Caine (Donnie Yen) and the lethal tracker Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson) are hot on his trail. While none of the previous films in the John Wick franchise featured a post-credit stinger, John Wick: Chapter 4 includes one brief post-credit scene at the very end of the credits.
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. Speaking with Collider, John Wick producer Basil Iwanyk revealed that Reeves was ready for Wick to be retired—permanently—via a noble death at the end of Chapter 4.
Mr. Nobody is one of many assassins trailing John Wick in the franchise's fourth movie but is one of the few who actually survives his encounter with the legendary Baba Yaga.
Some films however don't need dialogue to serve a film's story or reveal a character. Keanu Reeves knows this, which is why he decided to work with John Wick: Chapter 4 screenwriters, Shay Hatten and Michael Finch, to cut down John Wick's dialogue to 380 words.
Basil Iwanyk and Derek Kolstad's action thriller franchise John Wick follows Keanu Reeves' titular and stylish assassin feared throughout the Russian criminal underworld as Baba Yaga — John Wick's nickname — which supposedly means boogeyman.
Journal: Mr. Nobody is shown to own a journal that appears to be handwritten which contains information on a number of figures in the criminal underworld and their symbols, including John Wick, the Marquis Vincent de Gramont and the Bowery King.
