5 Movie Characters that Could Beat John Wick

Cha Tae-sik- The Man from Nowhere

Once more we have to look overseas in order to find someone with the potential to take on John Wick. This time though, Wick might have met his match in Cha Tae-sik. Tae-sik is a former covert operator for the South Korean Army Intelligence. Over the course of The Man From Nowhere, he leaves a path of bodies as he carves his way through a crime syndicate. He even manages to fight his way out of a police station despite being completely unarmed. Like John Wick, Cha Tae-sik is a man of sheer will who won’t let anything stand between him and his objectives. He’s incredibly skilled at both armed and unarmed combat and has no problem overcoming seemingly impossible odds. There’s only one man who might stand a better chance at taking on Wick.

Jason Bourne- The Bourne Franchise

Before John Wick, there was Jason Bourne. Like John, Bourne is former military but he served in Special Forces before being taken in for a covert CIA Black Ops program designed to create perfect government-sponsored assassins. His skill set is almost identical to John’s with Bourne having shown to be unparalleled at infiltration, sharp shooting, combat, and evasive driving. While Wick has proven himself to be deadly with a pencil, Bourne has used everything from a pen to a rolled-up magazine to take out highly skilled operatives sent to kill him. As good as John Wick is, he might not be a match for the most highly skilled assassins that the government has ever produced. If these two ever fought the only clear winner would be the audience.

Honorable Mention: John Reese- Person of Interest

Scowering the internet to find someone able to hold their own against John Wick, I was reminded of one of the biggest BAMF’s ever to appear on TV. John Reese posses a number of similar skill sets to John Wick. He’s an expert marksman, incredible combatant, and brilliant tactician. He might not qualify for this list, but he still deserves a shout out.
