In an interview, director Chad Stahelski confirms that John deliberately chose not to kill Caine and sacrifice himself so that Caine could live for his daughter, something bigger than both of them. [10] Fantastic Four (8 November 2024): no cast was announced – but here’s hoping they keep John Krasinski as Reed Richards and cast his real-life wife Emily Blunt as Sue We're also not sure, at what point of John's life this story takes place.

John also met a woman named Helen, with whom he fell deeply in love and later married. John decided to leave the uncertain life of an assassin to be with her. When he approached Viggo about retiring, the latter reluctantly agreed to let him leave, but on the condition that he completed an "impossible task": kill every one of Tarasov's rivals in a single night, ensuring his enemies would be completely destroyed before any could mobilize and retaliate.

Without Keanu's talent & dedication, as well as director Chad Stahelski's eclectic stunts & world building, this graphic novel, falls short in all expectations.

Gifted Intellect: John was shown to be a very intelligent individual who could outsmart his enemies even under extreme stress and can easily think his way out of dangerous situations. John's Myers-Briggs personality type is ISTP. [5] Skills and Abilities "John, you're incredible. Exhausted, outnumbered, obviously in pain, and you still beat all of my students." — Zero [src] Badly injured and running out of time, John goes to the New York Public Library where he has stashed away a photograph of his wife Helen, as well as a rosary and more markers inside a hollowed-out book of Russian folktales.
