John Wick 4 surprises with a post-credits scene: This happens after the credits
For the first time in the history of the John Wick series, a post-credits scene reveals how the story continues after the credits roll. However, the focus is not on the fate of our main hero. Instead, the figures move caine (Donnie Yen) and Akira (Rina Sawayama) in the foreground.

Rina Sawayama as Akira in John Wick: Chapter 4
Many guest stars have appeared throughout the John Wick series. But most of the time they only stay for one film. The post-credits scene of John Wick: Chapter 4, on the other hand, confirms that we’ll definitely be seeing more of Caine and Akira. There is one between the two unresolved conflictwhich can be traced back to the first half of the film.
Before Caine allies himself with Wick, he storms the Continental Hotel in Osaka on behalf of the High Chamber and kills the manager Shimazu Koji (Hiroyuki Sanada), Akira’s father. The next revenge story in the John Wick universe will write itself, as the post-credits scene proves.
John Wick 4’s stirring post-credits scene sets the stage for the future of the series
Just when Caine thinks he and his daughter are safe, Akira appears and pulls out a sharp object. She moves straight towards him. How the encounter ends stays open. The situation is particularly upsetting because Caine’s daughter has no idea that she could lose her father at any moment.

Donnie Yen as Caine in John Wick: Chapter 4
Now there are different possibilities where the figures can appear in the future. With The Continental, the first series from the John Wick franchise appear. In addition, we can expect the spin-off Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, which is located between parts 3 and 4.
Most likely, Donnie Yen and Rina Sawayama will return to the big screen and end their feud as Caine and Akira in John Wick: Chapter 5. Since both characters have a friendly relationship with John Wick, that makes for additional tensionswhen they try to kill each other.
Wait, John Wick 5? Does that mean John Wick survives at the end of Part 4?
The post-credit scene gives a wide berth to this question. The events in the film suggest that John Wick is dead. We see his injury, a lot of blood and the lifeless body. John Wick’s friends say goodbye. At least since Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker we know: “Nobody ever really walks.”
Originally, John Wick 4 and 5 were supposed to be shot back-to-back. However, these plans were scrapped. While the studio Lionsgate continues on a expansion of the row director Chad Stahelski recently hinted at a breather for John Wick, whatever that means exactly.
Until there is an official announcement of John Wick 5, we must therefore rely on one resolution of the question, wait and see if John Wick is really dead. With its furious action, the fourth part provides enough discussion material to bridge the waiting time.
