The John Wick Saga Expands: “Ballerina” Starring Ana de Armas Set to Hit Theatres in June 2025
In an exciting expansion of the John Wick universe, Lionsgate has announced that *Ballerina*, the highly anticipated spin-off film starring Ana de Armas, will be hitting theaters in June 2025. Directed by Len Wiseman, the film promises to delve deeper into the shadowy world of assassins that fans have come to know and love through the *John Wick* series, while introducing a fierce new protagonist in de Armas’ character.
Set between the events of *John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum* and *John Wick: Chapter 4*, *Ballerina* follows the journey of an assassin-in-training who seeks vengeance against those who wronged her family. The film taps into the world of high-octane action, beautifully choreographed fight sequences, and complex, morally gray characters that have made the *John Wick* franchise a global phenomenon.
Ana de Armas, who earned critical acclaim for her role in *No Time to Die* and *The Gray Man*, is expected to bring a new level of depth to the character of Rooney, a ballerina-turned-assassin. De Armas has undergone extensive fight training to prepare for the physically demanding role, ensuring that her performance will live up to the expectations set by the intense action sequences in the *John Wick* films.
While the film will focus primarily on Rooney’s personal journey, *Ballerina* will also feature appearances from beloved *John Wick* characters. Keanu Reeves is set to reprise his iconic role as John Wick in a cameo, further tying the spin-off to the larger universe.
“Ballerina” is set to deliver a fresh perspective on the world of assassins while maintaining the gritty, action-packed tone that has become synonymous with the *John Wick* franchise. With Wiseman at the helm and de Armas in the lead, the film is poised to be another exhilarating chapter in the saga.
As the *John Wick* franchise continues to thrive with both film and TV projects in development, *Ballerina* will be a key piece in expanding the universe. Fans are eagerly awaiting the chance to witness the next chapter in the John Wick mythos when the film lands in theaters on June 2025.
