John Wick 4

Should you stay until the end of the credits for John Wick? We've got the answers as to whether or not the film has an end-credits scene or not.

[would be shot back-to-back](https://collider.com/john-wick-5-filming-dates-details-john-wick-4-keanu-reeves/), Staheleski himself indicated that he’s unsure of what he and Reeves want to do next. However, he’s also set to star in [Jonah Hill’s next directorial feature film Outcome.](https://collider.com/keanu-reeves-jonah-hill-movie-outcome/) [Constantine for a long-anticipated sequel](https://collider.com/constantine-2-sequel-keanu-reeves-comments/) to the 2005 comic book film, with Francis Lawrence returning to direct. John Wick: Chapter 4 does not currently have a streaming release date set, and considering its expected success at the box office, it’s likely that it will remain exclusively in theaters for a few months before it drops online. It’s also a moment that John Wick fans will have to stay around for in theaters, as the post-credit stinger has not been released online yet. It is definitely worth sticking around for, as any John Wick fans that are heavily interested in the franchise’s mythology will want to know what could be in the works next. After an ending that is sure to be divisive among John Wick fans, the post-credit scene indicates what the series might have in store next. [Chad Stahelski](https://collider.com/tag/chad-stahelski/), John Wick: Chapter 4 picks up with John ( [Keanu Reeves](https://collider.com/tag/keanu-reeves/)) after he was shot off the top of the room of the New York Continental Hotel by Winston (Ian McShane) at the end of [John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum](https://collider.com/john-wick-3-review/). [John Wick: Chapter 4 ](https://collider.com/john-wick-4-release-date-cast-plot-filming-details/)is easily one of the most anticipated action movies of the year. Unlike its predecessors, John Wick: Chapter 4 includes a brief post-credit scene that addresses the fate of some of the supporting characters and indicates what direction the franchise may be headed next. That hasn’t seemed to dull expectations in the slightest, as It’s worth sticking around through the credits of John Wick: Chapter 4 simply out of respect for the incredible ensemble of stunt performers, and fans are likely curious about any post-credit goodies the film may have snuck in.

EXCLUSIVE: The John Wick franchise has flourished in its post theatrical market, and strong the Keanu Reeves action series will remain in that sector.

We are delighted to help expand this iconic series through a unique and robust consumer products program that helps fans engage with these well-loved characters in exciting new ways.” “Director Chad Stahelski’s John Wick 4 is so grandiose and rich, and we’re thrilled to expand this film and Lionsgate’s entire slate beyond the screen.” Together with the studio’s global consumer products representative, licensing giant IMG, a diverse range of John Wick products have been curated including an apparel collection with American Classics (currently available at Box Lunch, Spencer’s and Hot Topic) as well as a collectible figures line with YouTooz launching later this year.

Director Chad Stahelski mines humor from Caine’s reluctance and the over-the-top nature of the carnage, dragging out the violent sequences so long as to wear down resistance. Shamier Anderson also joins the fray as a mysterious mercenary, accompanied by his equally deadly dog, whose motivations remain as hard to penetrate as Wick’s Kevlar suits. Inflation comes in many forms, including the running-time bloat that can afflict sequels.

This might be the last time John Wick checks in to the Continental, but there are still more stories to tell.

Because this is the age of franchise universes, it begs the question: Does John Wick: Chapter 4 have a post-credits scene? So, does John Wick: Chapter 4 have a post-credits scene? Their story may resume in John Wick: Chapter 5, which is on the docket from studio Lionsgate. If everyone loves it and it goes kooky, then we’ll take a quiet minute.” Stahelski joked that he and Keanu Reeves will reconvene in Japan (a market where the Wick movies tend to release far later than domestically) and ultimately change their minds. There is a bonus scene that teases the continuation of a key story thread that isn’t fully resolved in the movie’s main plot. While John Wick’s war with the High Table seems to finally come to an end in Chapter 4, the world of John Wick undoubtedly keeps on spinning.

In John Wick: Chapter 4, does Mr. Wick finally get the freedom he's been fighting for? We explain the ending of the latest Keanu Reeves action film.

[spinoff film Ballerina.](https://collider.com/ballerina-plot-cast-director-john-wick-spin-off/#who-39-s-starring-in-ballerina) The new entry in the John Wick shared universe takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, and stars [Ana de Armas](https://collider.com/tag/ana-de-armas/) as the female assassin Rooney. [prequel series The Continental this year](https://collider.com/the-continental-john-wick-prequel-series-peacock/). Winston is allowed by the High Table’s Harbinger (Clancy Brown) to be reinstated as the concierge of the rebuilt New York Continental. John is still fatally wounded and collapses on the steps of the church, appearing to be dead. Considering the level of anticipation that [Keanu Reeves](https://collider.com/tag/keanu-reeves/) and director [Chad Stahelski](https://collider.com/john-wick-chapter-4-director-chad-stahelski-interview/) face with each film and the expectations to top their previous stunts, [John Wick: Chapter 4 ](https://collider.com/john-wick-chapter-4-review/)had a lot to live up to. The battle is set to take place at Sacré-Cœur, where they will separate by thirty places and duel with pistols. The Berlin encounter also reveals John’s friendship with Caine, who is forced to work for Marquis in order to spare his daughter’s life. John seeks refuge in the Osaka Continental, but Caine and Marquis’ soldiers storm the site and kill its manager Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada). However, Winston remains one of John’s closest allies, and knows that he’s been rescued and taken to safety by the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne). Here’s everything you need to know about the ending of John Wick: Chapter 4, explained. [John Wick: Chapter 3- Parabellum](https://collider.com/john-wick-3-review/) featured John being shot off the side of the New York Continental Hotel by Winston Scott (Ian McShane) for the crimes leveled at him by the High Table. [John Wick](https://collider.com/tag/john-wick/) franchise has been one of the few modern sagas that has maintained a consistent level of quality throughout every installment.

John Wick: Chapter 4 builds to the bloodiest ending of the entire franchise, but does Keanu Reeves' titular assassin get to walk into the sunset?

That's a lot left to explore in the world of John Wick, and hopefully, Reeves will still be part of it somehow. Despite being announced alongside the fourth film, it appears John Wick: Chapter 5 is also dead. The post-credit scene of John Wick: Chapter 4 suggests Akira is about to claim revenge on Caine, but it cuts before confirming the kill. The previous John Wick sequels all ended on cliffhangers, so perhaps this final moment is testing interest in a potential spinoff where Caine and Akira become (very) reluctant partners. John Wick: Chapter 4 closes with Clancy Brown's The Harbinger declaring John and Caine free. Nobody is a fun new addition to the saga, and spends Chapter 4 chasing after Wick - but without ever trying to kill him. [new John Wick villain](https://screenrant.com/john-wick-4-every-new-character-confirmed/) the Marquis de Gramont (Bill Skarsgård) punishes Winston for his failure to stop Wick by destroying The Continental and murdering faithful concierge Charon (the late, great Lance Riddick). Chapter 4 makes it appear John Wick: Chapter 5 won't happen, which had previously been announced alongside the fourth entry. [John Wick: Chapter 4](https://screenrant.com/tag/john-wick-4/) brings the Keanu Reeves-fronted action franchise to a fittingly bloody conclusion, but does John get to walk into the sunset? [Donnie Yen's Caine](https://screenrant.com/john-wick-4-donnie-yen-important/), John just about reaches the church on time. The Marquis has no intention of playing fair either, and Chapter 4's finale is a non-stop barrage of car chases, gun battles and fistfights as every assassin in Paris is called upon to collect on Wick's $40 million bounty before he can reach the Sacré-Cœur.

While John Wick is out of commission, Chapter 4 is chock full of fun, new characters who are worthy of a spin-off. His debt to the High Table is cleared, and for the first time in a long time, John Wick is a free man. Stahelski added that the Japanese release dates for the John Wick movies tend to happen after the movie already premiered in the U.S. Like the other three films in the series, John Wick: Chapter 4 is not a complicated film.

John Wick succeeds in obtaining the right to challenge de Gramont, seguing into the third and final act of the movie. “In our minds, Keanu and I are done for the moment,” Stahelski told THR. While John Wick bleeds out on the steps of the Sacré-Cœur, Winston (Ian McShane) promises John he’ll bring him home. For now and maybe forever, John Wick is in the ground. From the Sacré-Cœur, Chapter 4 fades back to the outskirts of New York, with a new headstone next to Helen’s: John Wick, “Loving Husband.” It’s easy to forget, but all of this pain and death really stems from John Wick’s unceasing love and memory of his late wife. This time, both Reeves and longtime series director [Chad Stahelski](https://www.inverse.com/article/55687-john-wick-chapter-3-director-interview-why-ballet-matters) leave nothing on the (High) Table — delivering not only the most thrilling and satisfying installment in the series, but one of the most consequential.

John Wick dies at the end of John Wick: Chapter 4. Suggesting John Wick is dead. Though even if that remains true, it might not be the end of the story. So as he approaches Mia with a big smile on his face, Akira pulls a knife, ready to take revenge by killing him. But that victory is short-lived, because as he ascends the steps, Wick stumbles, sits, and apparently expires. But now, win or lose, Wick has a way out: challenge the Marquis to single combat.

Everything we know about the new dog in John Wick 4, including for canine lovers, whether or not it dies.

No, the dog does not die in John Wick 4. The new dog in John Wick: Chapter 4 is a Belgian Malinois. There’s a new dog in John Wick: Chapter 4, that plays a pretty prominent role in the action sequel. We loved the idea of a character who was literally tracking and could smell Wick.” Five dogs played the role at different points in the movie, with Anderson explaining: “I had to be with the dogs every day. Followed by the death of his dog, a cold-blooded kill that sends John on a murderous rampage that has now played out over four films and counting.

John Wick: Chapter 4 has a post-credits scene that stretches the movie to nearly three hours. John Wick 4's screenwriters explain what the final scene means ...

He fell into this life, and now he’s just trying to get out and honor the memory of his wife. “It shows the cyclical and cruel nature of this world, that once you get in there, it is impossible to get out,” Hatten said. “Because of the events that happen in the Osaka Continental, she goes in full-force. The High Table is the much-referenced shadowy organization that governs assassins in the John Wick movies. “One of the themes of this piece was to demonstrate the vertical reach of the Table,” Finch said. The latest entry in the series about the assassin who just wants to hang up his pistols and live his life in peace does have a scene at the end of the credits.

John Wick: Chapter 4‘s previews are also ahead of 2018’s Halloween which did $7.7M on its Thursday night, a $33M Friday and $76.2M three-day. Previews began at 3PM today for the R-rated pic. Chapter 4 is also ahead of the Thursday previews of Bad Boys for Life ($6.3M) which ultimately turned into a $62.5M Friday-Sunday back in January 2020. The Box Office Company, which powers showtimes for Google, IMDB, Bing, TikTok and Apple with its Pulse product, is reporting that John Wick: Chapter 4‘s opening weekend presales are outstripping those of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, and selling more than 3x as many tickets as Bullet Train at the same point in their sales cycles. That estimated $8M preview number easily bests the $5.9M preview figure of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum which turned into a previous franchise high opening day of $22.6M and 3-day of $56.8M back in May 2019. [John Wick: Chapter 4](https://deadline.com/tag/john-wick-chapter-4/), is seeing the franchise’s best Thursday previews of all-time at around $8M per industry estimates tonight.

The ending of John Wick: Chapter 4 explained, plus how that climax and post-credit scene might set up Chapter 5.

As for this central franchise, Chapter 4 features a post-credits scene that potentially sets up the future. So as he walks down the Basilica’s steps, John Wick slumps to the ground, and dies. So if we are to believe that John Wick really is dead, then a sequel could only feature the character via flashback. John – just about – survives, making it to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica for his duel with the Marquis. Chapter 4 goes to some unexpected places, which sets up something equally unexpected at the end. But now, win or lose, Wick has a way out: challenge the Marquis to single combat.

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum's international opening back in 2019 was $36.9M for $93.75M worldwide, a previous global record start for the series.

The opening day repped 66% of the entire box office and was 56% ahead of JW3. Rounding out the top starts, New Zealand has grossed $140K through Thursday, 36% above JW3; Sweden ($100K) and Finland ($74K) both opened JW4 at No. [Lionsgate](https://deadline.com/tag/lionsgate/)/Thunder Road Films/87 Eleven’s [John Wick: Chapter 4](https://deadline.com/tag/john-wick-chapter-4/) is off to a strong start at the [international box office](https://deadline.com/tag/international-box-office/). The launch day was Studiocanal’s biggest since Twilight: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 and the best for any non-studio title since Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2. The [global outlook](https://deadline.com/2023/03/john-wick-chapter-4-box-office-lance-reddick-1235306412/) coming into the weekend is $115M, including $45M from offshore. Social unrest is plaguing the country with protests in major cities, but despite this, the start was 35% ahead of JW3.

The fourth film in the franchise boasts Keanu Reeves, insubstantial dialogue and action sequences better described as massacre marathons.

And when Chapter 4 slips into outright comedy – like the way a SWAT member’s head repeatedly bounces off a taiko drum to a satisfying thrum – the solemnity of what came before allows the jokes to land all the better. At the centre of it all, of course, is Reeves, whose innate likeability has always made it easy to root for a guy whose dialogue mostly consists of dramatic pauses followed by hushed “yeah”s. Stahelski has suggested that this may be the very last we see of Wick, the franchise branching off into spin-off films and television shows. He’s perhaps the most exquisite antagonist the series has seen. [Lance Reddick](/topic/lance-reddick), [who sadly died last week](/arts-entertainment/films/news/lance-reddick-dead-tributes-keanu-reeves-b2303409.html) and whose assuredness in the role has always felt like a hand on the audience’s shoulder). Even at its nearly three-hour runtime, John Wick: Chapter 4 commits so nobly to its self-seriousness that it almost borders into camp.

John Wick is back, and he's taking names, kicking butts, and using endlessly creative methods to dispatch his impeccably dressed adversaries.

From the neon lights of Osaka to the fiery reds and oranges of a Moroccan desert, John Wick 4 is a veritable symphony of hues. The action is brutal and beautiful, and on a whole new level in John Wick 4. John Wick 4 is also a gorgeous-looking film, even beyond the fights and clever camera wizardry. In many ways, John Wick 4 is the most ruminative this franchise has ever been, delving deeper into the world of assassins, the morality of their actions, and their motivations. Or is John doomed to inhabit this purgatory of ever-deadly goons trying to get a piece of him (and those millions of dollars; $40 million by last count) and he carving a path through them until he eventually succumbs? The film is an extravaganza chock-full of brutal violence, awesome stunt-work, and, most surprising of all, a heart and an emotional core.

Hopefully though, it's a sign of more Akira to come in John Wick's future. So Akira has clearly decided to take matters into her own hands and avenge her father's death instead. Wick spared Caine's life during their duel, saving his final bullet to kill the Marquis (Bill Skarsgård) instead. However, coming to meet him before he gets there is Akira and she preps her switchblade as she nears Caine when the scene ends. And it's one of these allies that take centre stage in the important post-credit scene. [Rina Sawayama](https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a43364593/rina-sawayama-john-wick-4/)) and the enigmatic Tracker (Shamier Anderson).

“John Wick: Chapter 4” is on track to surpass the third movie's record-setting opening weekend with an expected bow between $65 million and $70 million.

The Thursday preview hauls have similarly grown over the years; “John Wick” had $950,000 in domestic previews; “John Wick 2” had $2.2 million and “John Wick 3” had $5.9 million. The original “John Wick” opened with $14 million in 2014, followed by 2017’s “John Wick: Chapter 2” ($30.4 million) and 2019’s “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” ($56.8 million).
