Thanks for this origin video on this John Wick character.
A Winston prequel series would be great
I think they working on it I believe its called the continental
The Continel is gonna be on Peacock in the fall, set in the 7os, and has Mel Gibson in it as Winston's mentor. Focuses on a young Winston, Charon, and Charlie the body disposal guy
He is getting 1❤
It's called Deadwood
4:00 commented too early.
Winston is an awesome character and is a father figure for John Wick.
He literally tried to kill him😂😂😂
It was shown to be a ruse in Chptr 4. They wanted to throw the High Table off their scent for a while.
@Scott Craig but it wasn't, the bowerly king even calls him out on it. It was a pretty stupid movie in general.
@@alexcross7583 It was made obvious that Winston wasn't trying to kill John. He was pretending to kill him so that the High Table would would leave the Continental and John would be thought dead and be left alone. John Wick 4 reveals the High table don't buy it and punish Winston for it.
@Mish375S that makes no sense how would the high table think John was dead if his body was gone. Also Winston is punished by the high table not because he helped john fake his death, but because he helped John in the pervious movies.
I think that Winston may have been John's mentor in his early days. Which would explain why John and Winston has a father-son relationship. Winston is his father figure.
Agreed, Winston & John cames from or is affiliated with Ruska Roma, a second-class seat of the high table, possibly an offshoot of the Bratva (Russian Mafia). maybe Winston coached john wick in his early days. I wish we could see more of this relationship in The Continental series
Here is my dream cast as the managers of other Continental Branches
1. Tony Leung- The Continental Hongkong
2. Chow Yun Fat- The Continental Shanghai
3. Choi Min-Sik (The dude from old boy)- The Continental Seoul
4. Rami Malek- The Continental Dubai (They gotta feature this city)
5. Pierce Brosnan- The Continental London
6. Antonio Banderas- The Continental Madrid
7. Jean Reno- The Continental Paris or Brussels
A definite yes to Antonio Banderas!
Ian has been perfecting his craft for decades! He’s an incredible actor and love him in anything he’s done even a 70s movie I recently saw with him in his tight polyester pants. Deadwood rocked!
I haven’t seen but parts of this series. The story intrigues, the characters hold attention, and no foolish nudity. I will watch as many as they make and probably wish for more, Godspeed to John, Winston, and the Bowery King
I subscribe to the theory that Winston is John’s father in law. It makes the scene where he asks Winston to put “Loving Husband” on his gravestone work so well.
I always subscribe to this notion, it also gives out a few reasons as to why Winston would stick his neck out so many times for John, Why he so deeply cares for him, and his peculiar way of calling John
This is an interesting idea.
@@Cobra-King3Exactly... That name sounds like something he could have only gotten from also having known John's wife. Who probably called him Jonathan.
Ian McShane is the man, no one does it better than him, period the end.
Ian McShane(as usual and why I started watching this franchise to begin with) plays “Winston” brilliantly. Love this John Wick explained videos-so addictive.🍿🎥
I’d love a spin off movie where we dive into the life of Winston and even more on how he also became great friends with Charon, it’s a shame how lance reddick passed away, R.I.P
I hear that they are working on a 1970's early version of the "Continental" beginnings.
I believe it's a tv series thingy. Enjoy.
Rest in peace to the other gentleman, I don't know his name, but he seemed like a great guy which makes me sad like when Mr Boseman passed away as he also seemed very authentic and honest/kind.
Strangers always seem like better people then I've ever met and the good ones get taken too soon, while the selfish, mean people seem to live forever.
I enjoy the Wick franchise and I haven't had a fondness for movies like I used to, but this was pretty good.
Lance Reddick. He will be missed.
Lance ridick
@1:17, I LOVE the use of a Commodore 64 in this scene!
It's so absurd to see such an old piece of tech in the John Wick universe.
That is connected to the internet and can send out robo text to thousands of numbers in quick succession 😂.
I had a 64 with a tape drive and it took at least 10 minutes just to boot and load a program. They can be modified and configured to allow an internet connection, but it is a waste of time given today's technology.
You know. A thought actually occurred to me after watching the fourth movie.
You know how it's stated that all the high ranking people like Winston and the Marquis are "easily replaceable"? And that there's always someone waiting?
While that may be true. I bet it's actually very very rare for that to happen.
Why do I think that? Simple. A lot of the high ranking people are old. The Harbinger, Winston, the Osaka Continental owner. They all got to be well over the age of seventy.
People like Winston stay in their positions until they're either killed or they die by natural causes. My guess is that going by how arrogant the Marquis was. I take it he hasn't been in his position for very long to understand the consequences of his goals.
Every single person we met that respected John was well into their forties or about maybe ten years older than John. But it was long enough for them to understand what John was capable of back during his youth.
Marquis, the adjudicator, they all had to be in their thirties or late twenties. So they never grew up when John was in his prime.
Case in point. You can be replaced. But it's rare. But those that take the place of the old are arrogant and cocky bc they don't know what they're really dealing with. At least until they see John holding a gun to their heads.
Ummmmm, it’s all pretend. And you spent all that time thinking about it
@@debbylou5729 your friends never laugh at your jokes do they ?
@@PostAloneDthey do when they are imaginary
Winston was living in East Anglia, UK masquerading as a roquish antiques dealer, under the alias 'Lovejoy'
Winston aka Ian McShane has really found his niche & calling in the John Wick Quadrology; I still remember Ian McShane playing a bit part in Clash of Titans remake played by Sam Worthington
He was the lead character Odin in the series American Gods
The best actor the best character
I think Winston IS the High Table. Hiding in plain sight.
I really love the theory that Winston is the father of John Wick’s wife.
It helps explain why Winston was so loyal to John, even when he was Excommunicado.
Be interesting to see if they do a origin story about Winston after John wick 4. Who can play a Young Winston
Colin Woodell is playing Winston in The Continental TV series
Yup he's already chosen
The question is what is the difference between a "father" and a "daddy".
I was raised by my "father", with no genetic connection that I know of, but showed me, by example more than words, what a man is.
Genetic material?
Not sure that it's paramount but it would be nice to have both. ❤️
I think Winston trained John
U should try doing one with police and nuns . Judges. . The queen or king. Be a good one to watch . Keep up good work
PLEASE Marvelous Videos! Talk about James Bond!
Part 1 and 2 were mainly based in NY. 3 and 4 was all over the place. I'm sure they have their own cleaners.
He is John's father.
I think Winston is John Wickes father. He said at the end of wick #4",Good bye my son. " After watching the Continental, I believe the Vietnamese wife of Winston's brother is his mother. Winston changed his name to protect him.
Winston and the Bowery King would be a good prequel
I haven't seen the movie yet but at the end of John Wick 4 when Winston and the Bowery King are standing over John's grave, is that. Like the scene from the matrix when the Oracle and the Architect was at the end when Neo died talking of how things are going to be. And then, years later, another Matrix movie comes back where Neo is alive? Meaning John Wick never dies.
From the Queen Anne's Revenge to The Continental.
Blackbeard done well for himself becoming a hotelier
I think Winston and John are related uncle or son? Everyone say John when Winston says Jonathan reminds me of my mom saying half my name till I’m a pout to do something wrong the full name comes out 😂
Thanks for this origin video on this John Wick character. #AlgorithmicEnhancementComment
Jon could be Winston's son in law.
I say Winston is his father.
First time I've clicked on this channel for a while, let's see if the videos are still half assed because they can't stay on one subject for more than a minute
🤔 makes me wonder 🧐 if Winston was John's wife father??? Thank you for your information... You have opened up a path of something to look into...👍
I'm pretty sure the character has to be English/British, partly because he has a well known English actor playing him. Hopefully we'll find out more during the "Continental" series(and hopefully that gets a UK airing).
Does anyone else realize that at the end of john wick 4 he says goodbye my son, maybe john and Winston are father and son, Winston is from Ruska roma
Almost every comment is about wanting a Winston backstory...I get it, I want that too... and we're getting it. The series 'The Continental' is about just that very thing... it takes place a long time in the past, with the main character being Winston and Cheron as young men (hes obviously worked with Winston since the beginning, so you can't have a Continental/Winston backstory without him) doing whatever it takes to become manager.. Judging by his skills in chapter 3, Cherone did the dirty work to get Winston in that position. i believe he's an ex assassin, where Winston is more the brains and a strategist than a skilled assassin. it's supposed to be 3 part series, giving the history of the hotel as well as Winston's raise to power, so it should have the previous manager aswell. Each episode will be longer than an hour each. They wanted to give it a theatrical feel to it, so it'll be more like a movie cut in 3 parts.
I want a John Wick prequel.. From his life becoming abandoned as a child, to his time being trained as an assassin, his early jobs/first kill, how he came to be so respected and well known within that universe, all the way up to meeting his wife and who she is and how she's connected to this world..She has to know who John is and what he does for a living. i think Winston was her Dad or father figure, that'd do a couple things... One, Winston would be her connection to the world of John and assassins, while also explain the close relationship between John and Winston, the love and concern Winston has for our favorite assassin and vise-versa. As well as why someone who's such a stricter for the rules like Winston, he's still willing to sretch and bend the rules to benefit john, even when John doesn't ask or expect it. It's obvious there's no one else i could see Winston doing that for and even putting himself in danger of the high table... On the flip side, every decision or deal John makes with someone, he always does what's best for himself and Winston. Winston also seems to be the only person that John seemingly will refuse to kill under any circumstance, not even after being shot 5 times off a roof by Winston did he ever believe he was truly betrayed by Winston or want to kill him, He just got more angry with the High Table, so there's more there than just being friends with a hotel manager and his staff..
Then finishing off the prequel or series with the 'impossible task' that was given to him to complete in exchange for his freedom... They could film that part of the series or movie now while John is still young enough to play John who's at minimum 4 years younger than the 4th installment, cause that chick who was the bar tender in the first one asked, "how long has it been, John, 4 years?" Leading me to think he got out 4 maybe 5 years prior so he could get married. For everything prior to that impossible task, they could use multiple actors to show the various parts of his life including his childhood, teenage years, and first few years as an assassin while Keanu narrates the major events of his life. That would give us an amazing story without going back on his death, aswell as limiting his physical involvement since he is getting older and chapter 4 worked him over pretty good at 58 years old. Heck, they could do that and at the very end show John actually die on the steps and that the prequel and narration was just John's life flashing before his eyes, cause scientists believe we go through our entire life once we die..and the ending showing that would be completely unexpected.
I always thought it was pretty wild that someone who helped them out so much in building their organization and gained the respect of every one of his peers, many of them being friends.. that they'd rather see him dead by giving him a seemingly impossible task, than allow him live a normal life he feels like he's earned. Which only ensures that he'd never come back or ever be of any use to the table or those who live under it, cause he'd be dead...if he failed but survived, it could of turned John in his physical peak against them, which wouldn't be a good thing for any of them because the only other thing everyone has for John outside of respect, is fear, and if John laid enough bodies to build your organization, he can damn well destroy it.
As long as it has Keanu and Ian, I could watch these movies forever. I'm kinda bummed they already announced chapter 5 it kinda ruined his "death" but regardless I'm in. Not too sure about the spin offs, though.
Dude, Sharon was instrumental to the movie. They couldn't have don it without her!
Oh, there was a time *Winston* was just solving small criminal cases to help the Police; he knows the “old ways” so he has this knack of knowing all about antique stuff.
I also say the high table aren't mercenaries. They are Special Forces.
For Charon's name, it's pronounced SHA-RONE, not Sharon.
The narrator couldn't pronounce concierge properly, big surprise.
We're not sure actually. The name comes from Greek mythology as the Ferryman who takes the dead over the River Styx, and in Greek, the name is pronounced Kai-ron. And in British English it is pronounced Cha-ron, and in American English it is pronounced Sha-ron. So... Take your pick.
Fr:Mike
Is Winston now the Elder who sits above the table bacause baba killed the last elder who couldn't provide his ring.
Now Winston was John's"second", meaning if Wick dies, so does he?
Tricky twists. Anyone agree? High Table Elder New York City?
Would enjoy a origins spin off on this character
Well, now we know thats it's his uncle
Winston could be John Wick farther in-law as John could of been married to Winston daughter that Winston never told her he was her dad
He was kicking rods ass in hot rod
Mr Akoni prequel please
To be conducted silently and safety on the grounds
100 safety
I heard he was an art detective
I have to say it is strangely inauspicious having Lance die after charon
Is Winston is a same character in John Wick flim series and the Continental series
*SPOILER*
Yes! Both Winston and Charon are in the current John Wick film series!
In the Continental series Winston, Charon, and their friends defeated Cormac. This lead to young Winston being the new manager of the New York Continental. Fast forward to the current John Wick film series, Winston is still the manager and Charon is the concierge (also Winstons right-hand man).
Maybe John is his nephew 🤷🏻♀️
There is a prequel called The Continental
😳😱😭 John dies....
I thought there would be 5 movies.
these ads are insane
Winston was 'born' into it due to one Al Swearengen?
Theres a Theory that Winston id John's father.
the cleaners have it easy
Al Swearengen. Dude ran a escort bar back in Deadwood 😅
There are no dates on the tombstone.
😅😊
I think he is John’s dad.
A lot of ritual and spell in this movie
Winston keeps referring to John as Johnathan which is not his name. His name is Jardani a father would know that.
And something I can't figure out is that in a scene from one of the movies, I can't remember which one, John tells Winston "I don't sit on the High Table ", and Winston says "Yes but your family does ".
@@Death.Co. John was part of the roma crime family that sits at the high table
@@Death.Co. "your family" means ruska roma, or russian gypsies. its a second-rate seat. i think its a branch of bratva (russian mafia)
@@Death.Co. there are 12 seats on high table and 12 major crime families. Aka Leaders of those families sit on high table
Swegen
Winston was Helen's father
I doubt its pronounced "Sharon"
That's this channel for you, half assed click bait trash. The only good content I've ever seen from them was when they covered The Boys
Could Winston be John’s father in law?
Winston is john dad maybe
probably Father in law
what if he is johns wife, dad
John Wick 5 Resurrections currently in production
Really?
John wick should bebthebnext charon
The, not dah.
Bro really calling Charon fucking Sharron lmfao
Ikr better put respect on Charon's name! 😂😂😂
Who knows? Americans say Sha-ron, which is funny because Americans use the Greek spelling of Skeptic, and in British English, it is pronounced Cha-ron, but in Greek mythology, The Ferryman who takes the Dead over the River Styx, is spelled Charon, but pronounced Kai-ron. So, I would like to ask the creator of the John Wick world to clear this up.
Bias but shoots john wick just like that
Can Winston reproduce?
Somewhat of Spoilers: After seeing John Wick 4 I had the theory the Winston might have been John Wick’s father by something he said at the end.
What was the point of this video? It’s all obvious things that happened in the story.
How is winston John's friend??? The guy tried to kill him
No he didn't.
@@jaymorgan7728 ye he did, he says in the movie.

How about watching the 4th film or at least the video you are commenting on.
People always have connect the back stories of characters they like to something positive. Neither Winston, not John, were in the marines. They are bad guys, period. But in this world of bad people, they have a set of rules & a code of conduct that makes them different from the other bad guys. BUT WINSTON AND JOHN ARE BAD GUYS.
It’s actually canon in this universe that Wick was in Marines when he was younger. Was shown in tie in comics.
Ex-military types are quite capable of crossig over into the criminal underworld.
Being an assassin doesn't mean you couldn't have served in the military. I get that people often think of soldiers as "good guys" and assassins as "bad guys". Latter is mostly true. But serving in the military doesn't automatically make you a good person. Also since you were trained you have some skill set that is overlapping with that of an assassin. Much less in reality than what people think, but there is such overlap. Though personally if I were looking for assassins to have, I would go to professionals that did so for a living, which would mean various branches of SOF and some field people from Agencies. People that are trained as assassins for the government. While Marine, even if they are good are trained much more in general military ways of killing/disabling the opposition forces. Different mindset, which is why I don't think there is big overlap between the two professions. Probably the best way would be to train assassin from the time they were children. They wouldn't need to learn all the "unnecessary" stuff (for assassination) that regular Marine/Soldier has to learn. They could focus on skills that would be tailored to the specific type of work they are supposed to do. That doesn't mean that soldier who isn't in SOF-type organization within military (and even then there are various subsets that are further or closer to being actual assassins) couldn't become one. To the contrary, my point is that they could. But due to specializing in different fields, not only would they enter the new job later, they would also have to take time to learn new skills. I'm of course taking liberty of separating assassins from simple killers and also some hit mans, because we would be looking for people that could take up variety of tasks in various places around the world. Or at least various types of tasks. Hit men usually specialize in taking 1 or 2 types of targets and have known MO. Some with wider skills could be considered assassins (assuming we think of the type we see in the movies), but some wouldn't fit the criteria.
Seems you don't know his origins either? Wtf? Won't watch another one of these videos.
Bro Just stop to talk about movies and get a life
