Although John Wick is the most invulnerable and undoubtedly the deadliest assassin that has been seen yet, Tom Cruise‘s Vincent appears to be a bit more bad*ss than Keanu Reeves’ on-screen character. Apparently, Cruise’s character from Collateral has the sheer ability to trick and deceive many of his targets to walk right into his traps. Not to mention, Vincent would have a pretty good chance of beating Wick in a firefight.

Charlize Theron‘s deadly MI6 agent character, Lorraine Broughton, from the 2017 film Atomic Blonde, seems to be just as deadly as Keanu Reeves’ assassin character. Being one of the organization’s top-level operators, Theron’s character is most likely to beat Wick at his own game.

The main character, Agent 47 from the Hitman series of video games, is considered the world’s deadliest assassin in the Hitman universe.

Thus, with such similar qualities, both can be each other’s nemesis.

Finally, John Wick’s biggest competitor would be DC’s Bloodsport from The Suicide Squad. While Wick is a skilled assassin, Bloodsport is the craziest killer who keeps constantly targeting metahumans. After putting a bullet into an invincible man like Superman, there’s no way that Bloodsport can’t kill Wick.
