There is no question that John Wick: Chapter 4 has a shocking ending. The franchise is presently at the peak of its popularity (as indicated by its spectacularly opening weekend at the box office), and it’s pretty crazy that the new movie concludes with the death of its main character. That being said, it’s a finale that the blockbuster wholly earns – and in recognizing that, it’s understandable why director Chad Stahelski didn’t go with the alternate ending for the film that was shot not ultimately used.
