Ana De Armas is finally stepping into the John Wick universe with the next installment in the massive action franchise previously led by Keanu Reeves.
Ahead of the spin-off’s June 6, 2025 premiere, Lionsgate will unveil a novel featurette for From the World of John Wick: Ballerina during a Comic-Con Brazil panel, which will be livestreamed on YouTube on Sunday at 2pm PT.
Set during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum (2019), Ballerina stars De Armas as Eve Macarro, the titular dancer who begins her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma, setting out to exact revenge for her father’s death.
The movie also stars Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane and Reeves reprising his role as John Wick.
Directed by Len Wiseman from a script by Shay Hatten and characters by Derek Kolstad, the Thunder Road Films/87eleven feature is produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee and Chad Stahelski.
John Wick (2014) grossed more than $86 million worldwide, with the franchise crossing the $1 billion mark last year with John Wick: Chapter 4.
The franchise will continue with Ballerina. Meanwhile, Donnie Yen is set to reprise his role as the highly skilled, blind assassin Caine in an upcoming Lionsgate film. A prequel anime film is also in development.
