Ballerina: Ana de Armas is going all-out in the newest John Wick-inspired drop

Love all things John Wick? How about geeking out over what’s brewing with Ballerina and deck?

It’s looking like a wild summer loaded with action and starring baddie Ana de Armas? Holy smokes. Lose your mind to the ‘final’ trailer.

The long-speculated casting of Ana de Armas in the lead role of Eve was eventually confirmed in early 2022, and she was brought in to replace dancer Unity Phelan who played the part in a brief cameo in John Wick: Chapter 3. Several John Wick characters will be returning in Ballerina, including Keanu Reeves as the black suit-wearing assassin on a mission, and franchise stalwart Ian McShane as his hotelier ally Winston Scott.

Also reprising her John Wick role is Anjelica Huston, who appeared in John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum as the enigmatic head of the Ruska Roma crime syndicate, known as "The Director." Notably, Lance Reddick will appear in the film as his long-running character Charon, with Ballerina being one of the last projects he worked on. John Wick series newcomers Gabriel Byrne (Hereditary) is set to play the main villain, the Chancellor, while Norman Reedus (The Walking Dead) plays Pine, and Catalina Sandino Moreno (Che) appears in the film in an undisclosed role.
