The Post-Credits Scene of John Wick: Chapter 4 Explained: A Thematic and Exciting Conclusion

Spoiler alert: The scene involves Caine (played by Donnie Yen) and Akira (played by Rina Sawayama). After the funeral of John Wick (Keanu Reeves), Caine is seen walking through a crowd with a bouquet of flowers to visit his daughter. Akira then approaches him, unsheathes a blade, and prepares to avenge the death of her father Shimazu (played by Hiroyuki Sanada), who Caine had killed earlier in the movie. The co-writers of the movie, Michael Finch and Shay Hatten, explained that the scene was meant to demonstrate the inescapable cycle of violence and revenge in the world of the John Wick series. It also highlights the power and reach of the High Table, the shadowy organization that governs assassins in the series. The scene is not critical to the plot, but it provides a thematic cap to the movie's story and hints at what's to come in the series' future.

The latest installment of the John Wick series has a post-credits scene that offers a small reward for viewers who stick around until the end. After the movie's nearly 170-minute runtime, fans are treated to a scene that is both thematically relevant and exciting.

What happens in the post-credits scene of John Wick: Chapter 4?

Warning: Spoilers ahead for John Wick: Chapter 4.

The scene begins with Caine (Donnie Yen), a legendary assassin, walking through a crowd with a bouquet of flowers. He's on his way to visit his daughter. However, as he walks, Akira (Rina Sawayama) approaches him and unsheathes a blade. She's there to avenge the death of her father, Shimazu (Hiroyuki Sanada), who Caine killed earlier in the movie.

What's the significance of the post-credits scene?

According to co-writers Michael Finch and Shay Hatten, the scene is thematically significant and ties into the overarching themes of the John Wick series. They explain that one of the central points of the scene is to demonstrate the power and reach of the High Table, the shadowy organization that governs assassins in the John Wick universe.

"Because of the events that happen in the Osaka Continental, she [Akira] goes in full-force. What she doesn’t understand, and what we’re trying to demonstrate, is that once you step into the Table, there is no stepping out," Finch told Polygon in an interview. "She was locked in once Caine says, '[...] I’ll be waiting for you.' He knows that she’s going to come, because she’s a part of the Table. [...] Her story is John Wick story, in a lot of ways."

Hatten adds that the scene also underscores the cyclical and cruel nature of the world of John Wick. "It shows the cyclical and cruel nature of this world, that once you get in there, it is impossible to get out. I think that’s why we empathize with John so much. No matter how many people he kills, you recognize, well, he didn’t really have a choice. He fell into this life, and now he’s just trying to get out and honor the memory of his wife. But it’s a really challenging thing to do."

Final thoughts

While the post-credits scene is not critical to the plot of John Wick: Chapter 4, it provides a thematic cap to the movie's story and hints at what's to come in the series' future. Fans of the franchise will undoubtedly be excited to see how this scene plays into the next chapter of John Wick's story.
