Ballerina: A John Wick Story (2025) – Everything You Need to Know

Ballerina is an upcoming action thriller set in the John Wick universe, expanding on the franchise’s complex world of assassins, secret organizations, and brutal combat. Directed by Len Wiseman, known for Underworld and Live Free or Die Hard, the film stars Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, a highly trained assassin seeking revenge for her family’s murder.

Plot Overview

The film takes place between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4. Eve Macarro, a young assassin trained by the Ruska Roma, embarks on a relentless mission to hunt down the people responsible for her father’s death. The story is expected to explore the same high-stakes underworld that fans of John Wick love, but with a fresh focus on a new protagonist.

Eve, much like John Wick, is a highly skilled and deadly assassin. However, her past and motivations make her a unique character in the universe. Raised in the Ruska Roma crime family, she was trained from a young age in both ballet and combat, similar to how John Wick himself was groomed for a life of violence. The film is expected to delve deeper into the traditions, codes, and rivalries within the assassin society.

Cast & Characters

The film features a mix of returning characters from the John Wick franchise and new faces:

• Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, the vengeful assassin
• Keanu Reeves as John Wick, making a guest appearance
• Ian McShane as Winston Scott, the manager of the Continental Hotel
• Anjelica Huston as The Director, the head of the Ruska Roma
• Lance Reddick (in one of his final performances) as Charon, the concierge of the Continental
• Norman Reedus, Gabriel Byrne, and Catalina Sandino Moreno in undisclosed roles

Production & Action

Filming took place primarily in Prague, with John Wick director Chad Stahelski overseeing action sequences. Given Stahelski’s influence, the film will likely feature intense, close-quarters combat, gun-fu, and stylish cinematography similar to John Wick.

With Ballerina, the John Wick universe expands, promising an action-packed, character-driven revenge story with the same thrilling, high-octane action that fans have come to love. The film is set to release on June 6, 2025.
