A New Chapter in the John Wick Universe

Star-Studded Cast
Ana de Armas takes the lead as Eve Macarro, and fans will be thrilled to see Keanu Reeves make a cameo as John Wick. Ian McShane also returns, adding depth to the story with his role as Winston.
The trailer hints at Reeves' character training Eve in his unique brand of deadly arts. This mentorship is sure to bring some exciting dynamics to the film.

- A top-down, Pokémon-style flamethrower vs. water hose battle

Expanding the John Wick Universe
The John Wick franchise has grown from a single film into a full-blown cinematic universe. In addition to the movies, there's a TV series on Peacock called "The Continental," starring Colin Woodell and Mel Gibson. While the series has received mixed reviews, the 2019 tactical RPG "John Wick Hex" has been well-received, featuring performances from Ian McShane and Lance Reddick.
With "John Wick: Ballerina," the universe continues to expand, offering fans more of the action and lore they love.
Final Thoughts
We'll see where "John Wick: Ballerina" falls when it arrives next year. It won't be the first time Reeves and de Armas have shared the screen; they previously starred together in 2015's "Knock Knock."
