Ballerina Trailer: Ana de Armas Takes on the Baton From Keanu Reeves in John Wick’s Spin-Off

As a long-time fan of action movies with a soft spot for Keanu Reeves and the John Wick franchise, I must say that the upcoming spinoff Ballerina has me absolutely thrilled! The trailer alone, with its stunning visuals and pulse-pounding action sequences, is enough to get any adrenaline junkie’s heart racing.


Ana de Armas assumes the role of action with firearms and blades in the upcoming John Wick spinoff titled Ballerina. The trailer opens on a younger version of Armas, gazing longingly at a dance studio, dreaming of becoming a dancer. However, her dance evolves to incorporate the rhythm of gunfire and violence. Known for her role as The Blonde, de Armas will slip into the garb of an assassin, seeking vengeance for her father’s demise.

In the course of the movie, Armas’ persona gets enlisted by Ian McShane, leading her to the academy where she receives training. There, a strict mentor, played by Sharon Duncan-Brewster, imparts tactical knowledge to her.

In this movie, the creators behind the John Wick series are responsible for its presentation, with the story taking place as a side event relative to John Wick Chapter 3. Keanu Reeves, who plays the main role in the franchise, will be featured in the film, providing assistance to Armas’ character as she carries out her mission.

Towards the conclusion of the trailer, actress Macarro introduces Reeves as “Baba Yaga,” a character known to many, establishing the setting. Besides Armas and Reeves, the ensemble cast of Ballerina features Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, the late Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus.

In the narrative of the upcoming action movie, the official summary goes like this: “Set within the context of John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum, the story unfolds with Eve Macarro (played by Ana de Armas), embarking on her journey to learn the killer ways of the Ruska Roma assassin culture.

Initially, I eagerly anticipated seeing this movie in January 2024. Unfortunately, unexpected production challenges arose, causing a postponement of a full year. Now, with anticipation building, I’m thrilled to share that the release date has been set for June 6, 2025.

Regarding the John Wick film series, the third installment came out in 2019. In this movie, the main character of the actor is expelled from a community, and he then searches for allies to protect himself and possibly survive.
