Overview
- Ballerina follows Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro, a ballerina-trained assassin raised by the Ruska Roma, in a revenge-driven origin story set between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4.
- Len Wiseman’s direction and tight action choreography have earned the film broadly positive reviews, with critics praising de Armas’ physicality and emotional depth alongside standout stunt sequences.
- Keanu Reeves appears in an extended cameo as John Wick, seamlessly linking the spin-off to the main franchise while allowing Eve to remain the film’s central focus.
- Despite a challenging production that included significant retooling, Ballerina opened to an estimated $55 million worldwide, surpassing comparable titles and exceeding early box office expectations.
- Lionsgate plans to expand the franchise with a fifth John Wick instalment and expects Ballerina to debut on streaming platforms later this year, extending its reach beyond theatres.
