The John Wick universe expands as Ana de Armas steps into the assassin’s shoes, with Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and Lance Reddick returning in a high-octane thriller set between Parabellum and Chapter 4.

The recently released trailer for *Ballerina* (2025) introduces audiences to the latest expansion of the John Wick universe, with Ana de Armas taking center stage as assassin Eve Macarro. The trailer showcases her rigorous training within the deadly Ruska Roma, a ballerina-turned-killer on a path of vengeance.

The action-packed scenes blend the signature gun-fu choreography of the *John Wick* films with a more personal, raw style, highlighting de Armas’ physicality and dedication to stunt work. Notably, fans are excited about the return of familiar faces, including Keanu Reeves as John Wick, Ian McShane as Winston, and Lance Reddick as Charon, providing continuity within the franchise’s gritty, neo-noir world.

Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, Ballerina promises a fresh take on the franchise’s themes of revenge and loyalty, but through the lens of a new character. The film delves deeper into the assassin underworld, particularly the ballerina school seen in Parabellum.

Directed by Len Wiseman and slated for a June 2025 release, the movie’s trailer teases an emotional and physical transformation for de Armas, who has openly discussed the intense demands of the role, both physically and mentally. With a stellar cast, including Anjelica Huston and Norman Reedus, the film sets high expectations as it builds on the iconic John Wick mythology.
