7Akira

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)

TheJohn Wickfranchise has shown no sign of going moth-eaten , with each Modern motion-picture show introduce new innovative action scene and interesting fictitious character . Akira is a great example of this . She is introduced inJohn Wick : Chapter 4as the concierge of the Osaka Continental Hotel , but she is also a formidable scrapper . Her prowess with a bow and pointer brings something new to the dealership , but she ’s every bit good with other weapons or hand - to - hand combat .

She know that she risks harsh rebound from the High Table by doing so , butshe act as a female parent shape to John , and she wants to protect him . Fortunately , Anjelica Huston will reprise her role as The Director for theupcomingJohn WickspinoffBallerina , which will star Ana de Armas as a dancer and assassin under The Director ’s tutelage .

3Caine

Caine is the only assassin who can correspond up with John ’s incredible skillset , even though he is blind . He has honed his other senses to make up for his blindness , and he often has a good sense of his milieu than some people with perfect imagination . Caine look like he could be a key character forJohn Wick 5 , although story point remain shrouded in mystery for the subsequence . John Wick give Donnie Yen a platformto do what he does well . He ’s one of the best martial arts actors working in Hollywood , so only using him for one flick would be a permissive waste .

Despite being confirmed , John Wick : Chapter 5 is one of the most mysterious - and uncertain - upcoming picture , as the John Wick 5 newsworthiness so far shows .

2Tick Tock Man

Jason Mantzoukas often brings a kinky , off - center energy to his eccentric , and this makes the Tick Tock Man a volatile and mysterious presence . It seems as though he ’s blot out more enigma .

1Killa

The previous mob bosses were more grounded , but they were interchangeable . Killa stand out as a rebel .

Thevillains in theJohn Wickfranchisehave gotten gradually more and more eccentric and outlandish since the first movie . liken to Viggo Tarasov and Santino D’Antonio , Killa Harkan seems like he does n’t even belong to the same franchise . His love of poker and his playful approach to his body of work make him a much more compelling scoundrel . The previous mob boss were more ground , but they were standardised . Killa stand out as a maverick . Even though he ca n’t return for future sequels , theJohn Wickfranchise could still learn from him and make many more eye - catch villains for John to defend his way through .
