Zack Sharf Digital News Director SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers are ahead for “John Wick: Chapter 4,” now playing in theaters. Is John Wick really dead? The end of “John Wick: Chapter 4” throws fans of the long-running action franchise a twist by seemingly killing off the eponymous assassin. John participates in a sunrise duel to free himself of the High Table, with his opponent, the Marquis Vincent de Gramont (Bill Skarsgard), nominating Caine (Donnie Yen) to take his place. Caine shoots John and John seemingly misses Caine during the third round of the duel, but John was merely saving his final bullet to kill the Marquis instead. John sees a vision of his late wife, Helen, while on the steps of the Basilica of Sacré Coeur and seemingly succumbs to his gunshot wounds. Moviegoers see John hunched over on the steps, and then there’s a scene of Winston (Ian McShane) and the Bowery King (Laurence Fishburne) visiting John’s gravestone. But is John actually dead? Not even Keanu Reeves knows the definitive answer.
