Viggo: John is a man of focus. Commitment. And sheer will... something you know very little about. I once saw him kill three men in a bar... with a pencil, with a fucking pencil. |

Payday 2[]
Presumably after the events of the first movie, John Wick saves Chains (a comrade from the army) from the Swedish police. Afterwards, he is hired by Bain and joins the Payday Gang. Some time in early 2017, Wick contacts the Payday Gang and asks them to help rescue Charon in Brooklyn.
Fighting off Charon's captors and the police force, John and the gang successfully get Charon escorted to safety. Out of gratitude, the Continental concierge repays them by offering intel on Bob McKendrick hosting a party about his re-election on a yacht, which would allow the Payday Gang to "repay" the politician by stealing all the money from McKendrick's foreign bank accounts and ultimately prevent him ever being re-elected.
After the yacht heist, John Wick fully joins the Payday Gang.

Trivia[]
- His name was supposed to be Scorn, but Keanu loved John Wick so much the directors agreed to change his name to that.
- The character has become a skin in the famous battle royale Fortnite.
- John Wick's official fate is up for interpretation, per co-writers Michael Finch and Slay Hatten. Finch says, "''What I will say is that we never actually see him dying, We see a [grave] plot. What happened in between is up for interpretation.”'" However, producer Erica Lee says in an interview that he is. Keanu Reeves also expresses uncertainty when asked, stating that "I don’t know, I guess I’m going to have to lean on never say never. I mean, I wouldn’t do a John Wick film without [director] Chad Stahelski. We’d have to see what that looked like… It feels right that John Wick finds peace."
- It was later confirmed that John WICK 5 would be released and that Keanu would return to the role of John Wick although Keanu had previously stated that John WICK was dead. Earlier, the actor said that John WICK was dead, but John WICK 5 was not canceled, but on the contrary, it was confirmed, and later Keanu Reeves' participation was confirmed, hich makes canceling his death more likely. therefore John's fate is still unknown.
