Did 'Winston' mean to kill 'John'? Director discusses John Wick 3 ending

Director Chad Stahelski has opened up about the climax of his John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum which saw lead role John being shot by his friend Winston.

He discussed the movie's ending in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter and answered some questions that wouldn't completely satisfy fans of the popular franchise.

"Did Winston mean to shoot him? He meant to shoot him. Did he mean to kill him? That's open for interpretation," he said. 

"You can take it one of two ways, and that's kind of where we pick up some of the unanswered questions in John Wick 4," he said while answering a question.

Talking about his intention behind Winston's move, he said: "I like open-ended questions, sometimes, where not everything gets answered. I also like satisfying the audience, but I like leaving a little to your imagination and a little open for debate."
