Is Marcus John Wick's dad?
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.
John Wick Presents: Ballerina is an upcoming American action thriller film directed by Len Wiseman, from a script written by Shay Hatten, Michael Finch, and Emerald Fennell, based on an original story by Hatten. It is the first spin-off, and fifth installment overall in the John Wick franchise.
It's implied that Caine's blindness was part of his deal for retirement, similar to how the Marquis Vincent de Gramont forced Mr. Nobody to maim his own hand as part of their deal.

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.
Mr. Nobody is a mysterious hitman in John Wick: Chapter 4, known for his killer dog, combat skills, and journal of sketches and prices on John Wick's head.
