How the 'John Wick: Chapter 4' Post-Credits Sets Up the Spin-Offs to Come (2024)
This story contains major spoilers for John Wick: Chapter 4.
The latest edition of theJohn Wick series has an air of finality to it. After three sequels of our favoritesuited assassin fighting for his freedom from the High Table—the governing body of the international society of assassins that Wick’s a part of—he finally scores a victory … and dies in the process. And to put any speculation to rest, the final scene ofChapter 4 shows Wick’s allies, Winston (Ian McShane) and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne), appearing at his gravesite with his beloved dog in tow. Thousands of slain enemies and countless shootouts later, Wick finds peace alongside his wife Helen at long last.
But just because Wick is dead doesn’t mean it’s the last we’ll see of him. Reeves already filmed a cameo for the upcoming Ana De Armas-led spinoffBallerina, which will focus on one of the dancers working for The Director (Anjelica Huston), who audiences last saw inChapter 3. “I’m in it for a few sequences,” Reeves confirmedat Brazil’s CCXP last fall. The movie, he said at the time, is about a “woman who has some very difficult circ*mstances and who's looking for revenge: “Someone killed her father. Who could that be? And so it's her journey for actually understanding her past. She lost her father at a young age, and she doesn't really know what happened. Only that someone came into the house and killed her father, who had a tattoo. And as we know inJohn Wick, if you have a tattoo, something's going on.” (Ballerina takes place between the events ofChapters 3 andChapter 4, which explains the Reeves cameo.)
Chapter 4 includes a post-credits sequence that picks back up with Wick's frienemy Caine (Donnie Yen), now also free of the High Table, who is on the way to visit his daughter for the first time in years. As he approaches her, a woman emerges from the crowd, brandishing a knife. It’s Akira (Rina Sawayama) making good on her promise to kill Caine for murdering her father, Shimazu (Hiroyuki Sanada), who protected John earlier in the film. This could just be an addition to the series’ motif about inescapable cycles of vengeance—or it could be teasing a spin-off for Sawayama. With so much screentime devoted to Sawayama’s ass-kicking concierge, one could easily imagine her joining forces with de Armas’ character over a shared desire to avenge their fathers.
One question hovers over all of this: WillWick franchise director Chad Stahelski actually allow his hero to stay dead forever? If there’s one thing even John Wick can’t kill, it’s Hollywood’s desire to tap a bankable franchise over and over.
In other words, John Wick's Caine spinoff movie is bound to resolve the character's feud with Akira, which was teased in John Wick: Chapter 4's post-credits

Closing credits, end credits and end titles are a list of the cast and crew of a particular motion picture, television show, and video game. While opening credits appear at the beginning of a work, closing credits appear close to, and at the very end of a work.

John Wick 5 is in development, with Chad Stahelski working on the story. While a release date is yet to be confirmed, the cast is expected to include Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and Laurence Fishburne. The plot remains a mystery, but fans can expect more adrenaline-fueled action from the legendary hitman.
In a new interview with Empire magazine, Stahelski confirmed that he filmed two different endings for the movie during production, one of which would have ended the speculation over John Wick's fate. However, test audiences saw both versions and the ending that ended up in theaters garnered a better reception.
Is John Wick 5 coming? Writing for John Wick 5 began despite the initial setback of the 2023 writers' strike, as revealed by Drake during a November 2023 earnings call. The film is anticipated to hit theaters in 2026, with a potential release in 2027 also under consideration.
Fictional character biography. 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 ...
The final scene shows Winston and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) back in New York visiting Wick's grave with his pit bull: John is buried by his wife Helen, with a headstone that reads “Beloved husband” (per Wick's wishes).
Mr. Nobody is a mysterious hitman in John Wick: Chapter 4, known for his killer dog, combat skills, and journal of sketches and prices on John Wick's head. Despite being hired to kill John Wick, Mr. Nobody ends up saving him more often and becomes an ally, providing comic relief and a potential spinoff opportunity.
Even though John Wick 5 has been confirmed to be in development (probably), we don't yet have an official release date for the next movie as of April 2024. The next John Wick movie we see will be the Ana de Armas-led spin-off Ballerina, which takes place between Chapters 3 and 4 in the timeline.
John Wick: Chapter 4's post-credit scene reveals that Caine is out to reunite with his daughter, but cuts away after Akira follows them and takes out a knife. Since she's still out for vengeance and Caine was John's ally, it's likely that the two will be pitted against each other.
The next chapter in the “John Wick” universe is “Ballerina,” starring Ana de Armas. It was delayed from this summer to June 6, 2025, and follows de Armas' Ruksa Roma assassin.
John Wick: Chapter 4, released on March 24, 2023, takes place six months after the third installment. Since the events between the first and the fourth happened the same year, John Wick is still either 50 years old or maybe 51. Although the character's age stays the same, Keanu Reeves's age changed from the first film.
In 1984, Reeves was a correspondent for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) youth television program Going Great. That same year, he made his acting debut in an episode of the television series, called Hangin' In.
John Wick: Chapter 5 Could Be a Prequel and a Sequel
He's then buried back in America, with his impromptu funeral attended by his old friend Winston and the Bowery King. Thus, the fact that Chapter 5 of the series is planned is incredibly questionable if for no other reason than the protagonist himself is dead.
Even though John Wick 5 has been confirmed to be in development (probably), we don't yet have an official release date for the next movie as of April 2024. The next John Wick movie we see will be the Ana de Armas-led spin-off Ballerina, which takes place between Chapters 3 and 4 in the timeline.
