He killed the other assassins in order to keep John alive so he could collect the reward later. I think the major reason that he changed sides is that after John shot the guy who was gonna kill the dog, Mr Nobody figured that the bodyguard guy and Skarsgard’s character was worse and he didn’t want to work for them. He also felt a debt to John. Also, while honor is a huge thing in the John Wick world, it seems to me that most of the big characters seem to stray away from honor, John himself among them.

Who said there will be a JW5? The current director said he plans to do other things, and Reeves himself said he will only return with the original director.

Also the ending seems pretty conclusive with a good story arc for John. Bringing him back would only be to make another movie for money.

I think Mr. Nobody might appear in the JW spin-off the Ballerina to give more context to his back story or why he needed a specific amount of money.

Or they wait to see how he is received and he gets his own spin off movie or show.

I didn't like him either. I thought he was shoehorned in for no good reason and where did this character come from? Not established at all. Plus he's trying to big up the Marquis in that one scene and gets punked easily. Why would anyone want his help after that?

I guess that was supposed to be part of his mystique but dude just looked like a homeless man in Chicago. At first I thought he might be related in some way to that character Halle Berry played in John Wick 3. However his character just turned out to be a big nothing burger. The dog had more personality than the character.

Grounded in the story. The expansion of the High Table lore, the rules that go with all of that including the power that they have and the danger that puts John in (the ending of JW2 shows that).

Plus we get to see John use a pencil 😂

It’s just my opinion though.

For me, best to worse JW2, JW1, JW4, JW3.

Really unpopular opinion: I think they should have only made the first movie. As a standalone action flick, it is terrific.

It was much better when the world was mysterious, and I find I have lost interest in the world as they try to build it.

I barely even remember the third film. When I see clips I remember them, but I struggle to remember the actual narrative.

I haven't seen the fourth, and have no plans to do so, but I wouldn't go out of my way to avoid watching it.

The reason he was killing the other hitmen was because he wanted to get the bounty $$, but it wasn't enough at first. The situation with the dog, in my opinion, was to make you feel emotions for it. That way, you can connect this to the entire reason why Wick got back into it, thus leading us to the scene with John and the dog.
