BBG News

In the spinoff, you can look forward to Keanu Reeves wearing his signature John Wick attire. As indicated by the film’s director, a memorable and iconic scene involving Reeves is anticipated as John Wick encounters Ana de Armas’ main character.

As a movie enthusiast, I had an exciting conversation with Len Wiseman, the director of “Ballerina,” and the lovely Ana de Armas. They were both thrilled about Keanu Reeves’ role opposite Eve Macarro, played by de Armas. Len emphasized that Reeves’ part in “Ballerina” is pivotal, hinting at one of his later scenes in the upcoming film as a must-see. The director also commended Reeves for his unwavering commitment to the “John Wick” franchise.

He was a joy to collaborate with, and his work exudes an iconic quality,” Wiseman noted. “However, he is incredibly dedicated and self-critical, which explains his success. We’re determined to keep filming until we nail it perfectly. His magnetism draws us all, making it a privilege to be involved in his work.

Actress Ana de Armas will be working alongside Keanu Reeves for the second time, having previously appeared together in the 2015 thriller “Knock Knock”. De Armas expressed her delight at collaborating with Reeves once more, finding it strange yet wonderful to be part of the John Wick franchise. She shared that having Reeves in their film is a blessing and that he positively impacts the production by supporting the movie. De Armas further praised Keanu for his exceptional character as a person, noting his energy, generosity, and fun-loving nature on set.

Ballerina’s Story Expands the John Wick Universe

In the heart of this locale, the story unfolds around Ballerina, focusing on Macarro, a dancer with a secretive past as part of the clandestine Ruska Roma group, masquerading as a ballet school. As a dual-talented ballerina and assassin, Macarro adheres to the school’s customs in her quest for vengeance following her father’s death. Alongside Wick, Macarro imparts and receives knowledge about Ruska Roma traditions, with Wick cautiously preparing her for what lies ahead. Simultaneously, Macarro encounters resistance from the antagonistic Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne), who governs a hostile town against her.

In the movie titled “Ballerina,” several well-known actors make an appearance. Among them are Anjelica Huston, who takes on the role of The Director, Ian McShane as Winston Scott, and the late Lance Reddick, portraying Charon in what turns out to be his final major film performance. Additionally, “The Walking Dead” star, Norman Reedus, joins the “John Wick” series for the first time, assuming the enigmatic character of Daniel Pine.

As an ardent admirer, I must express my delight at the resounding positive reception for the action thriller, which is projected to earn between $35 million and $40 million domestically during its opening weekend. This success has undoubtedly paved the way for Keanu Reeves’ return in the recently announced John Wick 5, a film that piques my curiosity as well as that of the talented Ana de Armas.

Ballerina opens in theaters on June 6, 2025.
