There's a new killer in town From the world of John Wick: Ballerinathe first trailer of .
The trailer opens with a flashback of a bloody girl with a music box named Eve Macarro who meets Winston (Ian McShane) at a police station, who asks her if she likes dancing and offers to take Eve to a school for proper training. Macarro's training, however, also teaches her the ways of being an assassin, including how to “improvise” and “cheat” if she wishes to defeat opponents older than her. From there, an adult Eve (Ana de Armas) can be seen touring the Continental, meeting both Winston and Charon (Lance Reddick) — and fighting various targets as part of his revenge, overpowering them with guns, grenades, ice skates, and even a fire hose versus a flamethrower.
In the end, this brings her into contact with John Wick (Keanu Reeves)who, when Eve presses him on how to become a killer like him, replies: “It seems like you've already done it.”
Lionsgate initially confirmed the release of Ballerinatrailer via a promotion featuring the same music box, released months after fans got their first look at the John Wick spinoff at CinemaCon. New additions to this universe include Sharon Duncan-Brewster as a combat instructor at Eve’s school and Norman Reedus as someone Eve meets on her quest for revenge.
According to Reedus, the story is very “high octane” and applies different preparation techniques than his work on The Walking Dead franchise, saying, “I know Keanu, and I take my hat off to him because it's very physical, demanding work, I need a bottle of Advil all day. But it's fun. It's super fun. The choreography is tight, tight, tight. In by Daryl DixonIt's a free fight. It's a sloppy fight. There are no sloppy fights in [Ballerina].”
Additionally, de Armas' co-star David Castañeda praised the level of effort put in Ballerinaaction scenes, describing the film as “A lot of fighting; a lot of intricate stunts. There's a lot of one-takes, I think, but also an incredible amount of craftsmanship. I think it's going to be great. At least the experience was phenomenal.” The film is one of many John Wick spin-off in development, with another focusing on Donnie Yen's Caine following his John Wick: Chapter 4 debuted last year. There are rumors of a fifth John Wick The film was also brought forward last month but, due to Chad Stahelski's involvement in Henry Cavill's film mountaineer reboot, the sequel is reportedly awaiting further communications.
