The High Table has controlled John Wick's criminal underworld for three movies, but several members remain to be revealed.
The power of The High Table, the mysterious governing body of the John Wick universe, has grown in all three assassin movies, but there are still members of the organization yet to be revealed in John Wick: Chapter 4 and Beyond. The High Table has so far proven that they will do anything to keep order in the criminal underworld. This started as a major plot point in John Wick: Chapter 2 and continued to be the driving force behind John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
With 12 seats each held by major crime families, The High Table has been responsible for overseeing every move in the world in which Wick operates. It was for one of these prized seats that Santino D'Antonio recruited Wick to assassinate his sister, assuming a place on the High Table in his stead. After Wick kills Santino at the end of John Wick: Chapter 2, a $14 million bounty is placed on his head, leading to the introduction of other members of the organization: the adjudicator, treasurer, director, and administrator. , and the head of The High Table, The Elder.

With one member introduced in the second film and five in the third, there are six more members of the criminal organization yet to be revealed in the next installments of the franchise. John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum ended with Wick and the Bowery King seeking revenge after both suffered the wrath of The Adjudicator. Wick's final statement on his goal of getting revenge on The High Table suggests that the next two films will introduce more members of the organization into the world of John Wick and provide more insight into those who have filled smaller roles thus far, such as The Administrator and Treasurer. Based on the most recent movie, John Wick: Chapter 4 can be set to feature four or five other members of The High Table, leaving the fifth installment to potentially introduce a twist in the organization's leadership.
The John Wick movies have built a reputation for casting high-profile action stars and martial artists in supporting roles, either as a friend to the central assassin or as someone he's up against. Anjelica Huston and Jerome Flynn joined Asia Kate Dillon, Said Taghmaoui, and Robin Lord Taylor as members of The High Table in Parabellum, and the fourth film looks set to do the same. While very little is known about the plot of the next two films, the casting announcements for John Wick: Chapter 4 may point towards revealing other members of the governing body. Bill Skarsgard and Donnie Yen will star in the fourth installment, the latter reportedly as Wick's friend and Clancy Brown has teased that his role in the upcoming film will reveal more about The High Table.
Whichever role these stars are going to play, it's safe to say that the next two installments will continue to deliver the intense action sequences and creative kills characteristic of the franchise. There's no doubt that as Wick and the Bowery King fight their way through the ranks of assassins in John Wick: Chapter 4, the film will pull back the curtain on the true power of The High Table. This can only result in the identities of the remaining six members of the criminal organization finally being revealed, much to the delight of many viewers.
