Ballerina Trailer Puts Anna De Armas Center Stage In John Wick Universe
The first trailer for Ballerina, a spin-off of the John Wick franchise, has been released. Ana de Armas stars as Rooney, a Ruska Roma ballerina seeking revenge against hitmen responsible for her family’s murder. The film is set to hit theaters on June 6, 2025.
The storyline unfolds between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum and John Wick Chapter 4, focusing on the character originally introduced in the third film, portrayed by Unity Phelan. The trailer emphasizes Rooney’s brutal quest for vengeance, featuring action sequences where she uses an ice skate as a weapon and uses a fire hose against a flamethrower.
Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick, and according to writer Shay Hatten, he plays a significant role in the film, and does appear in the new trailer above. “Wick is a real character, and not just kind of a one-piece cameo,” Hatten told Collider. Additional cast members include Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston, the late Lance Reddick, Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus.
