Whether it’s the idea that Winston is John’s father-in-law or that Jimmy the cop is secretly working for the High Table, numerous fan theories dramatically alter our perception of the John Wick franchise. These movies are set in a heightened reality where people barely react to violent killing sprees happening right next to them in nightclubs, providing fertile ground for theories about this unusual world. Are the unperturbed civilians merely NPCs in a sophisticated video game? Could John Wick be trapped in The Matrix, exhibiting Neo-like superhuman skills?

The John Wick saga is filled with compelling mysteries that fans have dissected and overanalyzed through countless theories. Questions like the true value of the gold coins, why police ignore an international аssаssin network, and if John Wick is an alternate version of another Keanu Reeves character have all sparked intriguing theories with transformative answers.

Theories:

9. Contract Killing is Legal in the John Wick Universe

The indifference to violеnce and the police’s nonchalance towards a global аssаssin network suggest that contract killing is a legitimate profession in this world. This theory explains the lack of investigation into John’s murdеr sprees and the casual attitude towards public gunfights.

8. John Wick is in Hеll

A popular fan theory posits that John Wick is navigating through various levels of Hеll, supported by the character Charon, named after the mythological underworld ferryman.

7. Winston is John Wick’s Father-In-Law

This theory suggests that Winston is John’s father-in-law, explaining their close bond in a ruthless industry. The Continental prequel hints at this connection, showing Winston driving John’s iconic 1969 Ford Mustang Boss 429.

6. John Wick is in The Matrix

Linking Keanu Reeves’ roles, another theory proposes that the John Wick universe is part of The Matrix, with John displaying Neo-like superhuman abilities within the simulation.

5. The High Table Uses Old Computers for Security

The outdated technology used by the High Table clerks may be a deliberate choice to avoid hacking, rather than just a stylistic design decision.

4. Every Gold Coin Represents a Successful Assаssinаtion

In the John Wick world, the gold coins are incredibly valuable, potentially representing a reward for successful assassinations, thus granting favors in the criminal underworld.

3. John Wick is Johnny Utah from Point Break

A theory suggests John Wick is actually Johnny Utah from Point Break, who, after leaving the FBI, became a hitman under a new identity.

2. Jimmy the Cop Works for the High Table

Jimmy’s frequent blind eye to John’s violent activities could indicate he’s on the High Table’s payroll, familiar with John’s legendary status in the underworld.

1. John Wick Faked His Dеath

Despite his apparent dеath in John Wick: Chapter 4, some fans believe John faked his dеath to gain freedom, sharing the trᴜth only with his closest allies.
