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.
Franchise star Ian McShane can't say for sure that his Winston character is the father of Keanu Reeves' John Wick, but he's happy to fuel the fan theories. In John Wick: Chapter 4, it was subtly teased that there may be a family connection between Winston and John Wick.
John gets shot in the third round of the duel and seemingly dies on the steps of the Basilica of Sacré Coeur while seeing a vision of his late wife, Helen. The film then cuts to a a final scene of Winston (Ian McShane) and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) visiting John's gravestone.
Perkins was a nefarious contract killer who targeted John Wick when a $2 million bounty was put on his head by Russian crime lord Viggo Tarasov. She is the tertiary antagonist of John Wick.
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."
At the moment, there is no official confirmation about John Wick 5 being in development at Lionsgate. However, we know we will see the character again, as the saga keeps growing in different ways — a spin-off movie starring Ana de Armas and Reeves, Ballerina, will arrive in summer 2025.
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.
After John's unauthorized killing of Santino D'Antonio on the grounds of the New York Continental, The Adjudicator went to Zero's sushi bar and hired him and his students to carry out the High Table's will against John and anyone who helped him.
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: Chapter 4, released on March 24, 2023, takes place six months after the third installment. Since the events between the first and the fourth happened the same year, John Wick is still either 50 years old or maybe 51. Although the character's age stays the same, Keanu Reeves's age changed from the first film.
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.
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.
Kennedy's executive order (executive order 11111). JFK's executive order on June 11, 1963, provided "assistance for the removal of obstructions of justice and suppression of unlawful combinations within the state of Alabama." On November 22, 1963 (five months later), he was assassinated.
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.
In honor of the craft and care that went into killing 415 people across four films, we have carefully and thoughtfully compiled a list that ranks every single confirmed kill in the John Wick franchise.
It is implied that John Wick dies at the end of Chapter 4, when he is shot three times and loses consciousness. Following his glorious duel with Caine and Marquis, the High Table granted John Wick his freedom.
The John Wick kill count jumped even higher in John Wick: Chapter 4. In the fourth movie, John Wick killed an estimated 140 enemies in the movie all by himself. There were multiple incredibly violent scenes in the fourth movie, and the kills just kept building at an almost unnatural level.
In a new interview with Empire magazine, “John Wick: Chapter 4” director Chad Stahelski revealed for the first time that a more concrete ending to the action tentpole was filmed and tested. In this version of the film, there's no question that John Wick survives the events of the duel.
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.
Before he decided to retire and give up his eyesight, Caine was considered to be one of the world's most dangerous assassins and is one of the few people who can match John Wick's skill.
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.
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.
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.
