John Wick is a fictional character created by American screenwriter Derek Kolstad and portrayed by Canadian actor Keanu Reeves. He is the titular protagonist of the neo-noir media franchise John Wick.
While elements of John's world are ripped from the real world, the character – and his story – is entirely made up. John Wick is the brainchild of writer Derek Kolstad, who wanted to write a revenge story, with an unforgettable inciting incident.
The premise for John Wick was conceived by screenwriter Derek Kolstad, who began work on a treatment about a retired contract killer coming out to seek vengeance, entitled Scorn. After one month of work, he had completed the first draft of the screenplay.
Summary. "The Continental" prequel series fails to confirm the popular theory that Winston is John Wick's father despite numerous connections between the characters.

Who is Mr. Nobody in John Wick 4?
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.
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.
Summary. Keanu Reeves and his character John Wick share the same age in the first film, honoring the actor's birthdate. As the John Wick sequels have progressed, Keanu Reeves has grown older than his character. Originally, John Wick was supposed to be 75 years old, but Keanu Reeves portrayed him younger.
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.
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.
Is The Continental a real place? Sorry, no. You can't stay at the assassin hotel because it consists of various New York locations. But you can visit the filming locations to get a sense of the fictional hotel's makeup.
How old was Keanu Reeves when he made John Wick 1?
In May, Reeves was confirmed for the lead role, and Stahelski and Leitch were to direct it. For the next two months, Kolstad and Reeves spent weekends rewriting the script six times to fit Reeves's acting style. John was made younger, and Reeves, then 49-years-old, intended to portray him as a 35-year-old.
John Wick 5 is in development, with Chad Stahelski working on the story. While a release date is yet to be confirmed, the cast is expected to include Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and Laurence Fishburne. The plot remains a mystery, but fans can expect more adrenaline-fueled action from the legendary hitman.
The nickname "Jonathan" is not John Wick's actual full name, indicating that it is likely a personal nickname Winston has given him, potentially supporting the theory that Winston is John's father.
In John Wick: Chapter 4, Winston refers to John Wick as "my son" while saying goodbye to him in Russian at John's grave. As John is stated several times to be an orphan, it's unclear if this is meant to be literal or if it's just a term of affection by Winston.
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. When asked about it, Caine states that the High Table didn't take his eyes, but rather that Caine gave them to the High Table.
Nobody ends up saving him more often and becomes an ally, providing comic relief and a potential spinoff opportunity. Mr. Nobody's motivation to kill John Wick is solely to collect the highest bounty, and he respects John Wick enough to keep him alive, ultimately helping him in the end.
No, "Nobody" and "Atomic Blonde" are not officially set in the same universe as "John Wick." While there are stylistic similarities and shared action choreographers among the films, there has been no confirmation that they exist in the same fictional universe.
