John Wick Chapter 4 plot: What will it be about?

Keanu Reeve’s next adventure as John Wick will pick up after the events of Parabellum, which saw Wick evade death at the hands of the High Table. Although it is still unclear whether Winston’s decision to shoot Wick off the roof of the continental was a ploy to aid his escape.

Nonetheless, Wick is working with The Bowery King to bring down the High Table once and for all. The official synopsis reads: “With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hitman John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin.”

The first trailer gives hints that Wick will be seeking a way out by facing a mysterious figure, possibly known as the Marquis de Gramont, in a duel that will decide whether John can exit the assassin world for good.

Although director Chad Stahelski hasn’t confirmed that it will be the last movie, there certainly is an air of finality with this next entry. Will Wick walk away in the sunset or will the defeat of the High Table cost the ultimate price?
