Assassins in moviesare often fascinating fiber who can rank from unassuming everyday types to shadowy warriors who almost seem like they ’re from a whole other world . TheJohn Wickfranchise has manifest all sides of this dynamic better than perhaps any other media enfranchisement ever .

Updated on March 27th , 2021 by Mark Birrell : The hierarchy of power within the John Wick enfranchisement has been lay out quite extensively in the moving picture but not everyone in the underworld of the dealership ’s assassins is a killer whale themselves . sealed characters , like Winston or The Adjudicator , just serve the rules of order of that world without really being killers themselves . This lean has been update to better shine a light on the most skilled   assassin that have appeared in the John Wick movies so far , from the   ambitious competitor vying for the crown   to the reigning whizz , Baba Yaga himself .

PERKINS

select on John Wick is a rather bluff move , even if he ’s fresh out of retirement . That did n’t kibosh a unreliable Ms. Perkins from going after him . grant , Perkins is actually working for the Russian mafia boss , Viggo Tarasov at that time . It was Viggo who placed a $ 2 million bounty on John ’s head in ordering to protect his good - for - nothing son .

Perkins even had the audacity to conduct business on The Continental flat coat in an endeavor to get the bounty on John ’s header . She was clever enough to round John at his most vulnerable and nearly killed him as a final result . However , Perkins was duly penalized for this brash action , and the price was her life but not before she killed Harry to make her initial dodging .

ERNEST

John encounters Earnest at the New York Public Library while trying to assemble supplies before he becomes excommunicado at the beginning ofJohn Wick : Chapter 3 – Parabellum . John still has time bequeath on the clock but Earnest , in a similar manner to Perkins , precede the honor of the bravo ’s code and tries to kill John anyway .

It ’s perhaps this lapse in discipline that seals his destiny more than anything as , despite his far greater height and contact to John , he lose after stabbing the already - quite - wounded John in the shoulder joint . He ’s taken down with a large hardback book in a putting to death   reminiscent ofThe Bourne Ultimatum .

HARRY

Harry is one of the many , many   persona from the movies that John has some form of a vague history with , supply a helping hand by keeping the unconscious Perkins captive after John give . She gets the upper hand on him and kill him but still Harry ranks above both his killer and Earnest for one simple reason .

The consultation has no real indicant of Harry ’s skill as a killer whale but what he does – that Perkins and Earnest do n’t do – is abide by the code that assassins follow . Not just the exacting rules place bythe High Tablebut an even deep sense of honor that the assassin above lacked in their final moment .

ARES

ar is an enigmatic assassin fromJohn Wick : Chapter 2,played by Ruby Rose . She transmit through sign language her quiet allow her to make an even bigger impact in the flick . She managed to give   John a tough fight as well as some memorable threats .

Sadly , she was merely in the way of John and his actual prey , which is Ares ' gaffer , Santino D’Antonio of the Camorra crime consortium . Ares did n’t go down without a struggle , however , and even gave John a bit of bother in a Hall of Mirrors straightforward fromEnter the Dragon . While she lost , Ares went down like a straight badass for opting to use her tongue rather of her gas pedal in their fighting .

MARCUS

As   fans might call back , Marcus , play by Willem Dafoe , accepted the bounteousness crack on John ’s head not because he want to do it , but because he wanted to protect John .

He could have easily ended John as a sniper several times but chose not to . He understandably present that his loyalty can not be grease one’s palms or push around . It ’s too bad this be him dear ; Viggo come after him for betrayal and had him tortured and before obliterate him .

CASSIAN

In allJohn Wickmovies , there ’s always that one assassin who is intimately John ’s equal . They are also estimable assassins in their own right and John pull back for several geezerhood gave them a chance to catch up . One of these guys is Cassian . He ran into a vast ramification with John since he was tasked with the safety of the Camorra boss and   that Bos just encounter to be John ’s target .

The two of them seemed evenly friction match in their first conflict , though John still won by the skin of his tooth in their subway deathmatch . Instead of killing him , however , John cave in Cassian a chance to live . Hopefully ,   fan will see more of him one day .

ZERO

Zero   is hired by the High Table to deal with insubordination in the third picture . He ’s pretty much the " Cassian " in this introduction , meaning he ’s more than a match for John . Their first fighting was an exhilarating highspeed big bike joust with several others while the 2nd one is a sort of " clean " one - on - one .

Zero really   would have deliver the goods in their first competitiveness if not for The Continental . finally , John turn out to be a better assassinator than Zero after their second battle . The redoubtable assassin got stabbed by his own brand . Oddly enough , Zero himself idolise John . But he ca n’t catch up to the passe-partout .

THE SHINOBI

The Shinobi are the top bravo working for John ’s main foe in the third picture , Zero , and they try out to a very worthy match for Baba Yaga .   The pair of blade - preferring killers are played by Indonseaisn martial artists and worker   Cecep Arif Rahman and   Yayan Ruhian , who both rose to international celebrity throughtheRaidmovies .

The Shinobi are shown to be swift and understood enough to both hide in unmixed view and kill in crowded public place without being notice . They even beat John in their initial brawl with him   during   the finale of the movie , helping him to his foot after they stay their steel and telling him what an honour it is to fight him . After John beat them , he shows them the same obedience and offers to give up their lives , which is something that they ’re smart enough to admit .

SOFIA

Played by Halle Berry , Sofia is so formidable that evenher dogs are trained assassinsand could in all probability be sent on their own delegation .

John , as he often does , has a long history with her and holds a marker with her thumbprint in it , which seems to be the only reason that she does n’t vote down him . She works together with John and render that she ’s just as talented when taking down an integral complex full of enemies . Like Cassian , she ’s one of those assassins that fans hope to see again soon .

JOHN WICK

Who else could be number one other than John himself ? He may not always have the most unflawed or graceful technique , and he may get out of a bunch of scar through sheer luck or the will of others , but John Wick always let the job done .

Though often ruled by his emotion and bound by codification of honor that not everyone else in his life observes , he get it through on the face of it by the will of the graven image . accomplishment and determination are famous attributes of John ’s character but it should n’t be leave out that John retain to come through because it come along that destine just wills it so .
