The wait for the next chapter is over. It’s been a long journey for everyone’s favorite murderous canine avenger. From defending his home against Russian gangsters in the first John Wick to participating in a knife fight in an antique shop in John Wick: Chapter 3 — ParabellumKeanu Reeves’ now iconic killer has seen it all and lived to tell the tale … until now.
But in John Wick: Chapter 4, Wick seems to have found his match in Bill Skarsgård’s psychotic Marquis Vincent de Gramont, who uses all of the High Table’s resources to kill John. After a long and bloody battle between Wick and the assassins of the high table at Osaka Continental, which resulted in the death of his longtime friend, Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada), John arranges a duel with Caine (Donnie Yen), a blind assassin blackmailed by the Marquis to do his bidding so that his daughter would not be killed, at the Sacré-Cœur in Paris at dawn. But first, Wick has to deal with a bunch of bounty hunters, a mysterious friend/enemy, a killer dog that likes to bite people’s private parts, and a race against time.

John Wick: The Battle of Paris Chapter 4
Lionsgate
The final act of John: Wick Chapter 4 is one long battle in different parts of Paris as John must make his way through the bounty hunters hired by the Marquis to kill John before he reaches the Sacré-Cœur at sunrise. This results in a three-part fight that takes place in different parts of Paris: on the streets and in the buildings of Montmartre, in the night traffic in front of the Arc de Triomphe and up the 222 steps of the famous steps of Montmartre.
Calls are made to the bounty hunters via a secret radio station at the top of the Eiffel Tower and the fight begins. Wick is ambushed on the streets of Montmartre, and various assassins shoot at him from cafes, cars and other surrounding buildings. Wick tries to escape in a car, but crashes it while fighting various gunmen.
The fight spills over into an abandoned apartment building, with Mr. Nobody (Shamier Anderson), a mysterious new character who is both Wick’s friend and foe depending on the right amount of money, watching from the sidelines with his deadly dog, the aforementioned crotch eater. Several protracted arguments ensued, with John destroying a bunch of supporters. One of the henchmen, Chidi (Mark Zaror), is about to kill Mr. Nobody’s dog when John shoots Chidi, saving the dog and preventing Mr. Nobody, who had just accepted a contract from Marquis to kill Wick, from killing John.

John flees the building, only to engage in more fighting at the Arc de Triumph, where his car is shot at and collides with other cars driven by even more bounty hunters. Even though it’s rush hour, John fights off a number of would-be assassins, including a revived Chidi, in the middle of a roundabout. John is hit by several cars but survives; the same cannot be said for many bounty hunters, who have been killed by guns, knives, Nobody’s dog and several speeding cars.
After 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 of Paris. Of course, more bounty hunters are on the way. After almost reaching the top, John is pushed down the stairs by a still alive Chidi. At the bottom of the stairs, John is helped by Caine, who wants a fair fight and can’t wait to fight John himself. Two assassins kill the remaining bounty hunters. John was nearly killed by Chidi, but was saved by Mr. Nobody, who unleashed his dog on Chidi. Eventually, Chidi was killed by a bullet to the head.
How does John Wick: Chapter 4 end?
John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023) Final Trailer – Keanu Reeves, Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård
Both Caine and John arrive at the basilica as the sun begins to rise. The Marquis is there with the Messenger (Clancy Brown), as the ritual duel begins. Both received antique rifles and three bullets. They are instructed to walk 20 paces apart, aim their guns and then fire. After this was done, it turned out that no one had been shot. Then they walk five steps towards each other, reload their guns and fire. Again, no one was killed. They then walk another five steps towards each other, now standing very close to each other and loading their rifles.
This time only Caine fires the gun. John doesn’t and gets hit in the chest. Caine approaches the marquis and asks if his commitment to him and the high table is over. Marquis says yes, goes and grabs a gun. He aims it at John, thinking it is safe to finish off the dangerous assassin as he appears to have suffered a fatal injury. The Marquis, however, forgot that John never fired the last shot, and realized this too late when John pointed the gun at him and shot him in the head.
John staggers, sits on the steps of the basilica and watches the sun rise as he bleeds. The film then flashes back to a future date, when the Bowery King and Winston King visit the cemetery. The camera pans to two graves: one for Helen Wick and the other for John Wick, who supposedly died from injuries sustained in the duel with Caine.
