John Wick 4 Really Did Film In The Louvre (But They Didn't Push Their Limits)

The Louvre, home to icons like the "Venus de Milo" and Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa," is the most-visited museum in the world. It also served as one of the Paris filming locations for "John Wick: Chapter 4," alongside the Arc de Triomphe, the Basilica of Sacré Couer de Montmartre, and the Eiffel Tower, as confirmed by director Chad Stahelski during a November 2022 interview with Collider.

Naturally, there are definite limits to what can and can't be done in such close proximity to such ancient historical artifacts, and museum representatives were quick to ask production what they wanted to do in the space before giving their approval. "'You're not going to shoot anything, are you?' I was like, 'I don't know. Can I?' And I was like, 'Just kidding. We just want to shoot in the Louvre,'" Stahelski said of the encounter, adding that the museum was wonderful to work with.
