John Wick: Chapter 4 is getting released in a month's time. And with the movie's release, we're already looking forward to seeing another set of all-star characters that will be facing John Wick (played by Keanu Reeves) in a battle.

Of course, not everyone is a foe, however, as we've seen in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum with Sofia's (played by Halle Berry) character. And who could forget the neutral grounds of The Continental, manned by the equitable Charon (played by Lance Reddick)?

When John Wick: Chapter 4 was just confirmed, some of the key characters in the movie have just been rumored. And now that the movie is nearing its release date, let's take a look at the characters we'll meet in the latest John Wick installment.

Of course, we've got our protagonist, John Wick. After avenging the gruesome murder of his beloved pooch, Daisy, Wick seeks out the guys responsible for the death. Even though he turned out to be the son of a crime boss, Wick managed to do his revenge and get the ire of the father. And as he faced more adversaries, Wick found himself excommunicated and a target of the world's biggest underworld criminals with a $14 million bounty on his head.

When we last saw Wick, however, he was shot by Winston (played by Ian McShane) off of the roof of The Continental. Despite the fall, it appeared that Wick was still alive and was taken in by The Bowery King (played by Laurence Fishburne).

As the manager of The Continental, Winston really isn't supposed to play favorites. But he can't stop himself from bestowing favor to Wick as they help buy him time to escape from the other assassins on his tail.

In the end of John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum, his shooting of Wick came as a complete shock. We don't know for sure if this is something he did to help or betray Wick. We'll know more about this when the fourth John Wick gets released.

The Bowery King

Laurence Fishburne returns to John Wick: Chapter 4 as The Bowery King, helping out Wick when he gets shot by Winston.

The Bowery King is the leader of homeless mercenaries hiding in the underworld. When his character first came out in John Wick: Chapter 2, he reluctantly helps Wick but gets something in return. But after the High Table learns of this aide, he becomes a target. With his return in the movie, he might be eager to help out Wick for real this time.

Charon

Fans are pleased to know that Lance Reddick is returning to the film as the polite concierge, Charon. Despite his position in The Continental, Charon proves he is a loyal friend of Wick as he picks up a gun in the third movie and helps the hitman fight the High Table's siege of the hotel.

Caine

As for the new characters we'll meet in John Wick: Chapter 4, we start off with Caine (played by Donnie Yen). When news of Yen's involvement in the movie came out, the martial arts star describe his role as "an old, blind guy with a cane."

Although he is talented with a gun, Caine manages to hold his own thanks to a walking stick that can be transformed into a sword.

Shimazu

In one of the trailers of John Wick: Chapter 4, we see Shimazu (played by Hiroyuki Sanada) fighting off Caine. This proves that he is a loyal friend to the franchise's protagonist.

The Marquis de Gramont

Bill Skarsgård is joining the John Wick universe as the villainous The Marquis de Gramont, who is a member of the High Table. In one of the scenes in the trailer, he is sitting with Caine by his side.

Tracker

Shamier Anderson also joins the franchise as Tracker, a totally mysterious character as of this writing. Although we don't know for sure whether he is a friend or foe to John Wick, we do see him in the trailer in what seems to be a tense confrontation between him and Marquis. It could suggest that he is an enemy of Marquis.

Akira

Another character we don't know a lot about right now is Akira, played by Japanese musician Rina Sawayama. In the trailer, we see Akira in one scene with a bow and arrow. Again, we don't know yet whether she is a friend or foe of Wick's.

The Harbinger

Clancy Brown joins the Wick universe as The Harbinger, an officiate at the High Table. Stahelski refers to him as a "high-table referee." One thing we noticed about him is that he is missing a finger, which could indicate he had to make a blood sacrifice for a previous mistake.

Killa

Martial artist, Scott Adkins, joins the John Wick franchise in a character you wouldn't recognize right away. That's because he is placed in a fat suit for his role as Killa.

Not much is known about Killa except that he has a common enemy with Wick. This could mean that he will team up with Wick in the fourth movie.


That's all we know about these John Wick: Chapter 4 characters for now. We'll know more once the movie comes out.


John Wick: Chapter 4 will be released on March 24, 2023.
