‘John Wick 4’ does have a post-credits scene, we’ll explain it to you

‘John Wick 4’ is already in theaters and, without a doubt, it is a different film from the previous ones. The saga grew from a small indie project to become a franchise of worldwide interest. After all, the third was the first to have a wide theatrical release in Spain and it wasn’t until the fourth when the Keanu Reeves phenomenon was experienced as a true blockbuster release.

And yes, the fact that John Wick 4 is a blockbuster is reflected in the fact that it is the longest installment in the saga, but also in that it has something that the others did not have and that we usually identify with the Marvel universe, a post-war scene. credits.

Let’s remember that John Wick continues his difficult path to get rid of the High Table. For that, he allies with Caine (Donnie Yen), Koji (Horoyuki Sanada), the latter’s daughter, Akira (Rina Sawayama) and Tracker (Shamier Anderson). We remind you of this because they are the true protagonists of the post-credits scene of ‘John Wick 4’, the first post-credits scene of the John Wick saga.

‘John Wick 4’, post-credits scene explained

As we anticipated, in the scene after the credits of ‘John Wick 4’ John Wick does not appear. Logically, if you have seen the end. Instead we see Caine in Paris. Caine likes to listen to music with his daughter and is on her way to give her some flowers. However, Akira appears behind him and pulls out a knife as he approaches him. And there the scene ends.

Let’s remember that it was Caine who killed Akira’s father on the Osaka Mainland, and he made John Wick promise to kill Caine as revenge. However, Wick spares his life, saving the last bullet for the Marquess (Bill Skarsgard). Therefore, Wick did not keep his promise and Akira had to take care of the job herself. However, we do not see the result of this find, whether Akira manages to defeat Caine is a mystery that we will possibly see resolved in future installments of the saga.

We can think that this scene is a simple loose end, since Wick could not keep his promise. However, it could also be the beginning of a spin-off of Akira herself or, perhaps, the basis of a John Wick 5, if Keanu Reeves’ character has survived. Be that as it may, it could also be a plot that we could see something of in the Ana de Armas spin-off, ‘Ballerina’. If that spin-off works at the box office without Keanu Reeves at the helm, the saga will have a future beyond its protagonist. If that’s not the case, perhaps Wick will revive for one last (or penultimate) battle.

‘John Wick 4’ is now available in cinemas throughout Spain.
