Scott Adkins' time in theJohn Wickuniversemay have been brief, but it was certainly memorable. The actor played Killa, the head of the German sect of the High Table, and owner of a very fancy and carefree nightclub — where he and John Wick (Keabu Reeves) tried to shoot each other while everyone else continued dancing. Killa was, well… killed inJohn Wick: Chapter 4at the hands of Mr. Wick, who also meets his fate at the end of the movie. While Killa probably won’t return to the franchise, John Wick is already set for a comeback.
