John Wick: Chapter 4 is the longest entry in the action movie series so far, but after the main story wraps up, is there even more in a Marvel-style post-credits scene?
We now have the answer. Read on below to find out what to expect after the credits roll but be warned, this story contains MAJOR spoilers.
John Wick: Chapter 4 ends with John (Keanu Reeves) challenging Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsgard) to a final duel. John wins the duel and is freed from the High Table. But he ends up dying anyway after being shot by Caine (Donnie Yen), according to Uproxx.
In the after-credits scene, the character Akira (Rina Sawayama) seeks to avenge the death of her father Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada), who was murdered by Caine earlier in the movie. The movie closes with Akira advancing upon Caine, seemingly with an aim to kill him. And that’s how things wrap up.
The setup here is that a potential new John Wick movie could follow Akira’s story, but nothing is locked down yet. Director Chad Stahelski said in a recent interview that he and Reeves are done with the John Wick series for now, which makes a lot more sense now that we know John dies. Stahelski, too, is probably keen to try something else after working on the John Wick series for so many years.
He’s doing just that, too, as Stahelski is signed up to direct the movies based on Ghost of Tsushima and Rainbow Six. These movies have been announced, but Stahelski recently joked about whether or not they are real. “Hollywood loves a good announcement, don’t they?” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “There have been a few that have come out, and I’ve been surprised to see I’m attached to direct them. (Laughs.)”
If John Wick: Chapter 4 does big numbers at the box office as it’s expected to, Stahelski said he will sit down with Reeves, drink booze, and map out the next John Wick movie.
“Keanu and I will take the long trip to Tokyo, we’ll sit in the Imperial Hotel Scotch Bar and go, ‘What do you think?’ We’ll have a couple 20-year-old whiskies and write some ideas on napkins. If those ideas stick, maybe we’ll make a movie,” Stahelski said.
The John Wick series will continue beyond the main story with a spin-off focused on the character Ballerina, who is played by Ana de Armas. Reeves will have a cameo as John Wick in the movie.
