Since 2014, the Keanu Reeves-led franchise has redefined the genre and is about to get its next major spin-off in Ballerina this summer.
The new John Wick figure sees the not-so-retired assassin in the middle of battle. He's particularly battle-damaged at the moment and bleeding in multiple places. However, he’s always ready to make the next deadly move with two blades at his disposal.
Reeves never gets out of the fray without a few scratches or two, but he's always the last one left standing.
While John Wick: Chapter 4 felt like a definitive end to the franchise, Ballerina gives a narrative reason for the famous assassin’s return.
Taking place between Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, the spin-off follows a female assassin played by No Time To Die’s Ana de Armas who's out for some classic revenge against the people who killed her family. John Wick will just be a side character in the film, but he's not the only major actor returning for the action-thriller. Both Ian McShane and the late Lance Reddick are returning to their respective roles as Winston and Charon.
It's going to be exciting to see how well Ballerina does financially off the massive success of Chapter 4. That sequel was the highest grossing in the franchise to date, making over $440 million worldwide. It also was the highest reviewed film with a certified-fresh 94% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
FYI, Ballerina will be exploding into theaters on June 06, 2025.
