“Ballerina” is nearly ready to take the stage.
The film from director Len Wiseman is the first feature-length spinoff “from the world of John Wick.” It stars Ana de Armas as a lethal assassin who is in over her head. Watch the new trailer, complete with a promised Keanu Reeves cameo and a trailer-worthy remix of Charli XCX’s “Von Dutch,” below.
If you’ll recall, the idea of the ballerina program was introduced in “John Wick: Chapter 3,” with Anjelica Huston running an organization of female killers (Huston returns for “Ballerina”). In fact, “Ballerina” takes place during the events of “John Wick: Chapter 3,” which is why Wick can return after dying at the end of 2023’s “John Wick: Chapter 4.”
