Ballerina (2025): Exploring the John Wick Connection and the Assassin’s Past

Info in Movie News | Earlier than expected, the John Wick offshoot, Ballerina, adds to its attraction by a new trailer, of which the Keanu Reeves' presence as John Wick is the latest revelation. In spite of the franchise's characteristic brutal action, Ballerina would like to explore the world of elite assassins intensively through the eyes of a new character, Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) among others.

The movie dives deep into the art of killer training by showing the physical and psychological refinement that makes them who they are. Macarro is ready to pull deep layers of the John Wick Universe when she gets closer and closer to the man who murdered her father.

Armas had said that her on-screen persona of Eve will come out with a different fighting style to that of John Wick. "Eve is not John Wick, although there are some similarities in their training," she stated early in 2024. It seems from these words that the Ballerina movie will not be an expansion of the John Wick story, but a new story by a new character.

Moreover, the Winston Scott (Ian McShane) and Charon (Lance Reddick) who are in the center of events in the Continental Hotel are seen as a good addition also. One of the shots that were supposed to be cut due to the lack of time was the one showing Eve fighting with Winston, which actually was filmed but, in the last moment, the director opted to have it removed from the movie, which the experience left the actor McShane very disappointed. Nevertheless the strong dialogues not only remain there but also hold the key to the story's development.

Bringing together the star-studded cast members such as Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, and Catalina Sandino, and having Len Wiseman (Underworld) as the director, Ballerina shows great promise of being an incredibly dangerous addition to the John Wick series.

The movie is scheduled for premiere on June 6, 2025. Is Ballerina going to be a firm part in the universe of John Wick? The Audiences will soon find out on the big screen.
