(#10) John Wick
- Film character
The Matrix is, of course, another of Keanu Reeves's popular franchises, and it features the actor delivering some serious ownage. According to Redditor /u/yung_saac, Neo becomes John Wick at the end of the last Matrix movie.
Instead of being terminated at the end of The Matrix Revolutions, Neo is actually put into another simulation - thus becoming John. As the theory goes, the machines could have spared Neo's consciousness, which could explain why John is unkillable. Laurence Fishburne's inclusion in the last two films also suggests this Redditor may be on to something.

(#3) The 'John Wick' Franchise Will Have Five Films Themed Around The Stages Of Grief
The first John Wick film begins with John mourning the loss of his wife. Despite this, her belongings remain in their house. Triggered by this grief - and the grief over the loss of the final gift his beloved wife gave him - John goes on a spree of righteous carnage.
According to Redditor /u/coces, these reactions are examples of the five stages of grief. The theory also predicts there will be a total of five films, each of which will revolve around one of the five stages.

(#5) Winston Is Behind Everything
The Continental Hotel in New York serves as a prime hangout spot for assassins, and it's owned by Winston (Ian McShane). Redditor /u/DeluxeTraffic believes Winston is possibly the mastermind behind the events luring John back into the life.
According to this theory, Winston may want to take out the High Table to prevent them from poaching his assassins. He may also want to take advantage of the High Table's need for assassins, as the council pays them millions to unsuccessfully knock off John Wick.

(#7) 'John Wick' Is 'The Iliad'
Redditor /u/thedogispatroclus believes that John Wick is based on "The Iliad," Homer's epic poem from ancient Greece.
According to this line of thought, the inclusion of Charon (Lance Reddick), the hotel concierge, is a prime example. Also significant is the poem's basis of vengeance and pointless mayhem, which resonates with John's character.

(#2) The Continental's Execution Style Has An Ancient Tradition
When Ms. Perkins (Adrianne Palicki) attempts to close John's contract in the first film, she is unsuccessful, but she does whack another assassin on Continental grounds. Winston terminates her membership, and she is executed by four men who shoot in sync.
Redditor /u/TheAlmightyKrot believes this is because the underground world is a lot more powerful and structured than viewers know. They assume this execution style is most likely traditional and originally done with knives rather than sidearms.

(#13) The 'John Wick' Movie Universe Is Set Inside A Video Game
The John Wick films are well known for their unique and intense fight scenes. Such scenes perpetuate the idea of the films being set inside of a video game, according to Redditor /u/mantaraypreviouslife.
The theory revolves around the similarity of all the seemingly nonchalant background characters in the midst of all the bloodshed. This theory could also be a possible explanation for John's speedy recovery times.
