Berghain bouncer Sven Marquardt to be seen in “John Wick 4”.

Sven Marquardt can be seen in the fourth part of the “John Wick” saga. The Berghain bouncer and photographer has a cameo appearance as a henchman set around a fictional Berlin club.

“I’m Klaus,” he repeats his only sentence. “Klaus” is a member of the “Ruska Roma” organization and leads Keanu Reeves, the eponymous protagonist of the John Wick series, to the fictitious electro club “Himmel und Hölle” (based on Berghain, of course), where there is also – without too much to reveal – an action scene comes up, which of course doesn’t stop the Berlin club-goers from dancing. The German capital is portrayed through the well-intentioned lens of fascination: exciting and adventurous, dark, mystical and just as Berghain-Berlin is imagined in the USA, the fictional club is located on the Museum Island, which in reality is not quite so mystical in Berlin-Mitte.

Marquardt already worked as a bouncer in Berghain’s predecessor “Ostgut”, with the popularity of one of the most famous techno clubs in the world and “the hardest door” (meaning the mostly superficial decision about admission by the bouncer) the 61-year-old only became a scene celebrity and has meanwhile also gained notoriety beyond that. The trained photographer also exhibits in Berlin, for the last time in 2020.

Also starring again are Laurence Fishburne and Lance Reddick, who died on March 17, as well as Bill Skarsgård and Scott Adkins. “Chapter 4” was filmed partly in Paris and in the Babelsberg studio in Potsdam, with the power plant in Berlin serving as the backdrop for the nightclub. The film has been in German cinemas since March 23. As with the three predecessors, Chad Stahelski directed.
