Starring Ana de Armas, this spinoff promises intense action, familiar faces, and a gripping revenge story. Let's dive into what we know so far.

A New Chapter in the John Wick Universe

"John Wick: Ballerina" is set between "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum" and the upcoming "John Wick: Chapter 4." The story follows Eve Macarro, an assassin on a quest for vengeance after her family is brutally murdered.

Expect to see iconic locations like The Continental and plenty of gun-fu action. The movie is slated for a summer 2025 release, just ahead of "John Wick: Chapter 5."

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.

What to Expect

The trailer begins with Ian McShane's character collecting a young, orphaned Eve and taking her to a school where they teach dance. Fast forward several years, and Eve is at The Continental, seeking answers about her family's murder.

Highlights from the trailer include:

• A posthumous glimpse of Lance Reddick's concierge, Charon
• A top-down, Pokémon-style flamethrower vs. water hose battle
• Intense training scenes with John Wick

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."
