“John Wick: Chapter 4” premiered worldwide on March 24, 2023, generating excitement among fans of the action-packed franchise. Keanu Reeves reprises his role as John Wick, and audiences are eager to know the earnings of the film’s cast members.
With a production budget of $90 million, “John Wick: Chapter 4” provided Keanu Reeves with the most substantial paycheck of his career. According to flickonclick, Reeves earned a staggering $15 million for the film, one of the highest salaries for a Hollywood project. This figure isn’t surprising considering Reeves’ popularity and status as a superstar. However, the pay disparity between him and other cast members has raised eyebrows.

The late actor Lance Raddick, known for his acclaimed performance in the John Wick series, earned $500,000 for his role. Rina Sawayama, who played Akira, made $400,000, making her the highest-paid female actor in the film.
Meanwhile, the movie’s villains earned less. Donnie Yen and Shamier Anderson each received $300,000 for their undisclosed roles, while Bill Skarsgård’s salary was $200,000.
“John Wick: Chapter 4,” starring Keanu Reeves, aims to gross between $65 million and $70 million at the box office opening. Fans eagerly await to see if the action-thriller will meet or surpass expectations.
