What happens

John Wick: Chapter 4 is a 2023 American epic neo-noir action thriller film, directed and co-produced by Chad Stahelski and written by Shay Hatten and Michael Finch. It is the fourth installment in the John Wick film series, and the sequel to John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019). Keanu Reeves returns as the titular John Wick, who sets out for revenge on the High Table and those who left him for dead. Chapter 4 also features Donnie Yen, Bill Skarsgård, Laurence Fishburne, Hiroyuki Sanada, Shamier Anderson, Lance Reddick, Rina Sawayama, Scott Adkins, Clancy Brown, and Ian McShane. Development of the fourth John Wick film, formally announced by Lionsgate in May 2019, was confirmed before the release of its predecessor. It is the first film in the franchise that was not written by franchise creator Derek Kolstad; Hatten was hired in May 2020, then Finch in March 2021. Principal photography took place from June to October 2021 in France, Germany, New York City, and Japan. The film's planned 2021 release was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. John Wick: Chapter 4 premiered at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on March 6, 2023, and was released in the United States on March 24. The film received critical acclaim for its action sequences, Stahelski's direction, cinematography, choreography, visual style, writing, score, and performances. It earned over $447 million worldwide on a $100 million budget, becoming the highest-grossing film in the franchise. A spin-off set between the third and fourth films, titled Ballerina, was released in 2025. Though Chapter 4 was initially intended to be the conclusion of the series, a sequel is in development.
