In every movie franchise, at some point, the hero has to either quit or die. It happened with Christian Bale’s Batman, who apparently died at the end of The Dark Knight Rises, only to be revealed as living undercover in Europe with Anne Hathaway’s Catwoman. Tony Stark sacrificed himself to save the MCU in Avengers: Endgame. It even happened to Daniel Craig’s James Bond, who seemed to have perished at the end of No Time to Die. If 007 can meet his creator, then no action hero is safe.
Is it the turn of john wick? It can be argued that the action hero is just stepping up. The last film with the character, John Wick: Chapter 4it will be the movie of JW most successful to date, and early critical reception has been enthusiastic. A spin off, ballerina, is in the works, and star Keanu Reeves has talked about a fifth movie. However, the action in the movie is intense, and even John Wick has its limits. Does John Wick die at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4?
What happens at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4?
John’s final act:Wick Chapter 4 it’s a long battle in different parts of Paris, as John has to go through bounty hunters hired by the Marquis to kill John before he can reach the Sacré-Cœur as the sun rises. This results in a three-part fight that takes place in different parts of Paris: in the streets and buildings of Montmartre, in the night traffic in front of the Arc de Triomphe, and up the 222 steps on the famous Montmartre stairs.
The calls go to the bounty hunters via a secret radio station at the top of the Eiffel Tower, and the fight begins. Wick is ambushed in the streets of Montmartre, with various assassins shooting at him from surrounding cafes, cars, and other buildings. The fight spills over into an abandoned apartment building, where John has to fight off Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson), Chidi (Mark Zaror), and dozens of hired guns.
John escapes the building, only to engage in more fighting at the Arc de Triomphe, where his car is shot up and collides with other cars driven by even more bounty hunters. Despite it being rush hour, John battles numerous would-be assassins, including a revived Chidi, in the middle of the circular street. John is hit by several cars but survives; The same cannot be said for many of the bounty hunters, who are killed by guns, knives, Mr. Nobody’s dog, and various speeding cars.
Once John escapes, he still has to climb the 222 steps of Montmartre (a famous Parisian landmark) to reach his destination, the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Paris. Of course, there are more bounty hunters on the way. After nearly reaching the top, John is pushed down the stairs by a still alive Chidi. At the bottom of the steps, John is helped by Caine, who wants a fair fight and is eager to duel John alone. The two assassins take out the remaining bounty hunters.
Well, does John die at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4?
Surprisingly, YeahJohn appears to die at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4. Here’s how it happens: Both Caine and John arrive at the Basilica as the sun begins to rise. The Marquis is there with the Harbinger (Clancy Brown), where the dueling ritual begins. Both men receive old weapons and three bullets. They are instructed to walk 20 steps away from each other, aim their weapons, and then fire. After doing this, it is revealed that no one has been shot. They then walk 5 steps towards each other, reload their weapons and shoot. Once again, no one dies. They then walk five more steps towards each other, now standing very close to each other, and reload their weapons.
This time, only Caine fires his gun. John doesn’t, and he is hit in the chest. Caine approaches the marquess and asks if his obligation to him and the High Table is over. The marquis says yes, walks away and grabs a gun. He targets John, thinking it’s safe to take down the dangerous assassin because he looks like he suffered a mortal wound. The marquess, however, forgot that John never fired that last bullet, only realizing it too late when John points the gun at him and shoots him in the head.
John stumbles away, sits on the Basilica steps and watches the sunrise as he bleeds to death. The film then flashes to a future date, when the Bowery King and Winston King visit a graveyard. The camera pans to two graves: one for Helen Wick and the other for John Wick, who apparently died of his injuries as a result of a duel with Caine.
Is John really dead? I’m not a conspiracy theorist, but they never actually show him dying. And any fan of comics or pop culture knows that no one is really dead unless you see the body. The audience does not see the body in John Wick: Chapter 4, just a fade in the back and a grave with John’s name on it. That can be easily faked, and I can see a scenario where John took the opportunity to fake his own death so he’d be left alone forever. No high table, no continental, no more Baba Yaga… until John Wick: Chapter 5that is.
