The scene features Winston placing a hand on Wick’s grave, saying,“Farewell, my son.”While the term is often used to showcase the endearment, fans of the franchise have taken it as a hint to establish the duo’s speculated relationship.
Fueling this theory is Winston’s Ruska Roma tattoo, the same group that raisedJohn Wick. While fans hoped for insights into their relationship through the spin-off series,The Continental,which delves into Winston Scott’s backstory, it, unfortunately, did not provide answers to the questions surrounding their potential familial ties or the significance of Winston’s tattoo.
