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."
Everything finally seems peaceful, though Wick is clearly badly wounded. After collapsing on the steps, it is implied that John Wick died at that very moment, with the scene changing to the legendary hitman's funeral attended by Winston and Bowery King.

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.
By shooting Reeves' character in John Wick 3's ending, Winston was actually saving them both. On the surface, he seems to be following through with his fealty to the High Table, but, clearly, he doesn't shoot to kill.
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.
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.
Originally planned as the series finale, John Wick 5 might be the last mainline movie with Reeves in the titular role, considering his age and the physical demands of the franchise. However, the John Wick universe is expanding with spin-offs and prequels, ensuring the legacy of the iconic hitman endures.
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.

John Wick: Chapter 4, released on March 24, 2023, takes place six months after the third installment.

What happens to Winston and the Bowery King? Thanks to John winning the duel, Winston will get his (repaired) hotel back. The Bowery King and Winston are last seen visiting John's grave together, before they walk off in separate directions – meaning they both survive the movie.

However, Marquis does not realize that John has not yet fired his gun. John kills Marquis and officially wins the duel.
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.
The twist in the John Wick 3 ending sees John being betrayed by Winston (Ian McShane), the Manager of The Continental, raising the question of why Winston shot John Wick.
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.

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.
