From the universe of John Wick, the upcoming movie Ballerina tells the gripping story of Eve Macarro, played by Ana de Armas. In Len Wiseman’s directorial, the character is a highly skilled assassin on a relentless quest for vengeance against those who destroyed her family. Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, this latest installment delivers the franchise’s signature hard-hitting action, immersive world-building, and jaw-dropping stunts.
What’s special about Ballerina is Keanu Reeves’ cameo as he reprises his iconic role of John Wick. The film doesn’t just stand out for its fierce, emotionally charged protagonist — it’s also how it reimagines the presence of John Wick himself. After reading the script, Keanu Reeves agreed to reprise his legendary role. Normally, Reeves goes through six months of gruelling training before taking on the action-packed flick John Wick. But with BALLERINA, he had the unique opportunity to contribute significantly to the film without as much pressure — or pain.
Producer Erica Lee said, “It was an interesting prospect for him because it’s Wick, but it’s not Wick.” As soon as he stepped on set, Reeves was “deeply involved like he always is,” she adds. Reeves collaborated with Wiseman and contributed ideas by suggesting action sequences and tweaking dialogue, all of which enhanced the film. “No one knows John Wick better than Keanu,” says director Wiseman.
That authenticity extends beyond Wick’s presence. As franchise architect and producer Chad Stahelski points out, Ballerina offers a refreshing take on a character who has always been wrapped in myth. “If you go back to the first film, John is a bit of a bogeyman,” he notes. “So, it’s interesting to experience John from Eve’s perspective. He’s still John Wick, and still a force to be reckoned with, but in another way. It’s a slightly different Wick, because we’re seeing him through the eyes of Eve.”
Eve isn’t your typical newcomer. She’s a powerful presence – fierce, flawed, and forged by loss. Eve is grounded unlike the larger-than-life superheroes that dominate modern cinema. She bleeds. She fights back. She transforms.
Ballerina makes an extensive theatrical release across multiple languages like English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. As Ballerina gears up to bring its explosive action to Indian theatres on June 13th, the excitement is just getting started. With a massive fan following for the John Wick franchise in India, Ballerina is poised to become the next big cinematic obsession.
