The big question is whether Winston's betrayal was a calculated move. He survived and was rescued by the minions of the badly wounded Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), and the two vowed to cooperate to exact their revenge. In the ensuing parley with the Adjudicator, Winston declared fealty to the High Table and shot John, who tumbled off the rooftop to the ground.

So the High Table sent its army of assassins, Winston provided the firepower, and John killed pretty much all of them. But when the time came, John refused to complete the mission. That's because Winston had refused the order to abdicate his position as punishment for aiding John. John negotiated a deal with the elder for the forgiveness of his many transgressions against the High Table in exchange for killing Winston (Ian McShane), manager of the NYC Continental Hotel where Wick killed Santino. Parabellum ended with one final twist that neatly set up John Wick: Chapter 4. The title refers to the old adage, Si vis pacem, para bellum: 'If you want peace, prepare for war.' Wick essentially declared war on the High Table, and the escalation played out exactly as you'd expect when everyone's favorite dog-loving hitman is involved.

Wick ends up killing Santino-newly named to the High Table-inside the Continental Hotel in New York, which is supposed to be a safe space for assassins, and is declared 'excommunicato,' cutting him off from all the resources the hitman underground usually provides.Īnd that's where John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum picked up, with Wick scrambling to find allies (and ammo) to fight off pretty much the entire underworld of assassins, all of them very eager to claim the $14 million bounty on his head. Of course he succeeds-he's John Wick-but the client, Italian crime lord Santino D'Antonio (Riccardo Scamarcio), tries to cover his tracks by posting a bounty on Wick's head.

In John Wick: Chapter Two, Wick takes on a whole slew of Russian baddies but finds himself honor-bound (per the professional hitman's code) to go on one last assignment. Nothing will stop John Wick from seeking retribution. The first John Wick grossed more than $88 million worldwide for a film that cost around $30 million to make, and it was praised for its brisk pace, heart-stopping action sequences, and stylish noir feel.įurther Reading Everyone is “gun-fu” fighting: John Wick 3 is almost as good as the original

Unfortunately, he's drawn back into the dark underground world by an act of senseless violence after his wife's death. (Spoilers for the first three films in the franchise below.)Īs I've written previously, for the benefit of those who missed the first three movies, John Wick (Reeves) is a legendary hitman (known as the Boogeyman or 'Baba Yaga') who tried to retire when he fell in love and got married.

The movie won't hit theaters until March 2023, but that didn't stop Keanu Reeves from swinging by Comic-Con to introduce a sneak peek teaser for John Wick Chapter 4, simply titled John Wick (which might be confusing given that this is also the title of the original film that launched the whole franchise). According to Deadline Hollywood, Reeves crashed the Collider’s Directors on Directing panel, which included John Wick: Chapter 4 director Chad Stahelski as a panelist. Keanu Reeves is back as our favorite master assassin in John Wick: Chapter 4.
