The John Wick 3 ending introduces a stunning betrayal by Winston, the Manager of The Continental, setting the stage for John Wick: Chapter 4 and The Continental prequel series. John Wick survives his wounds and is taken in by The Bowery King, creating a new underground subplot and expanding the world of the franchise.
The reason Winston betrayed John Wick could have been to save both of their lives. Throughout the John Wick movie series, John defied the High Table and its Elder's laws, forcing him to fight for his life against the world's deadliest assassins.
Summary. "The Continental" prequel series fails to confirm the popular theory that Winston is John Wick's father despite numerous connections between the characters.
Ares is the most dangerous threat that John comes up against in John Wick Chapter 2. His battles against Cassian and others were excellent ones, but Ares came the closest to actually ending John. In the hall of mirrors sequence where they square off, Ares does manage to properly stab John and nearly defeats him.
“John Wick” producer Basil Iwanyk told Collider that Keanu Reeves begged the team behind the long-running action franchise to kill him off at the end of “John Wick: Chapter 4.” It was par for the course for Reeves, who is so physically drained after filming each “John Wick” installment that it's tough to return for ...

Will John Wick be in John Wick 5?
Keanu Reeves is expected to reprise his role as the iconic John Wick, along with Ian McShane as Winston and Laurence Fishburne as the Bowery King. While some characters may not return due to storyline developments, the core cast is likely to remain intact.
John Wick is highly skilled and deadly, but he is not invulnerable and can be defeated by other skilled assassins. Several movie assassins like Vincent, El Mariachi, and Léon possess unique advantages and abilities that could give them an edge over John Wick in a fight.
Viggo Tarasov calling John Wick after having killed Marcus. Viggo Tarasov (Russian: Вигго Тарасов, Viggo Tarasov) is the main antagonist of the 2014 action film John Wick, the first installment of the John Wick franchise.
Marcus was a highly skilled assassin, an expert sniper, a close friend and a mentor to the ex-hitman John Wick. He was eventually paid by Russian crime boss Viggo Tarasov to turn on John and kill him, but eventually decided not to and turned on Viggo.
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.
Is Marcus John Wick's Dad? Marcus, who we see in the first movie, appears to be only an old friend of John's. It's easy to wonder if there's a family connection between the two with Marcus' desire to keep John alive and aid him against Viggo Tarasov. It seems unlikely that Marcus is John Wick's father, though.
Winston's "son" line could be figurative, as people often say this to close friends of no blood relation, or a sign that Winston thought of John like a son, but combined with the tattoo, suspicions arise. What makes Winston's final words to John even more suspicious is the language in which he speaks them.
Winston only shot John (he purposefully shot at John's bulletproof suit so as to keep him alive) in front of the Adjudicator of the High Table so as to fool her into thinking that he was dead by the time John had even hit the ground when he jumped off of the Continental during him getting shot, and so that he could ...
Winston gives John a blood oath marker and warns him he can only give him an hour's head start. In John Wick: Chapter 2, there isn't any explicit explanation for the marker John is given. It's assumed to be John's original marker from his blood oath with Santino. In the first movie, John loses his wife and his dog.
John Wick 3 explained that the titular assassin was still alive after the fall from The Continental's terrace, and The Bowery King gave him shelter and a place to heal.
Even though John Wick 5 has been confirmed to be in development (probably), we don't yet have an official release date for the next movie as of April 2024. The next John Wick movie we see will be the Ana de Armas-led spin-off Ballerina, which takes place between Chapters 3 and 4 in the timeline.
Why? Well, according to the Journal's report, Reeves himself "stripped" a good portion of John's dialogue in Chapter 4, with the support of franchise director Chad Stahelski, reducing his words by half and instead relying on body language and, of course, fighting.
Some assassins, like Ares and Marcus, are not as formidable as others in terms of their abilities. John Wick himself is the most skilled and deadly assassin in the franchise, feared by other characters for his power and efficiency.
The movie is full of groundbreaking action sequences, but it's also surprisingly emotional, as John is seen killed in a duel with Caine (Donnie Yen). The assassin shares his final words with his old friend Winston (Ian McShane), then is buried in New York with a headstone reading, "Loving Husband."
Nevertheless, there are ways in which the fifth and final chapter could be told. John Wick had adventures before the first four movies, and such tales could be interwoven with present-day events. Likewise, it's highly likely that Wick isn't quite as dead as he would seem, allowing for one more blood-soaked story.
