From the World of John Wick: Ballerina at Victory Cinema From the World of John Wick: Ballerina arrives at Victory Cinema as a new action thriller expanding the elaborate assassin underworld created by the John Wick films. Ana de Armas takes centre stage as Eve Macarro, while familiar franchise figures return through Keanu Reeves as John Wick, Ian McShane as Winston, Anjelica Huston as the Director and Lance Reddick as Charon. Directed by Len Wiseman, the film also features Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus and Catalina Sandino Moreno. Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro Ana de Armas leads the story as Eve Macarro, a young woman drawn into the traditions of the Ruska Roma and trained to survive within the same dangerous world that shaped John Wick. The film’s official premise follows Eve as she seeks revenge against those responsible for the death of her family, transforming personal grief into a relentless journey through a hidden society governed by weapons, codes and consequences. A new assassin enters the John Wick universe Ballerina expands the John Wick universe through a protagonist with her own history, motivations and approach to survival. Eve is not introduced simply as another version of John Wick. Her journey begins with loss and develops through intensive training within the Ruska Roma, giving the film an opportunity to explore another corner of the organisation previously connected with John’s own past. Her search for answers gradually pushes her beyond training and into the deadly world of professional assassins. The deadly traditions of the Ruska Roma The Ruska Roma becomes an important part of Eve’s transformation from a grieving young woman into a highly trained assassin. Anjelica Huston returns as the Director, reconnecting the film directly with the organisation introduced in the wider John Wick mythology. Within this disciplined world, physical endurance, precision and commitment become essential, and Eve must learn to turn pain into the skills required to survive against enemies who operate without hesitation. Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick Keanu Reeves returns as John Wick, bringing the legendary assassin into Eve Macarro’s journey. His presence gives Ballerina a direct connection with the central John Wick story while allowing audiences to see the familiar character from another protagonist’s perspective. Lionsgate’s promotional campaign prominently featured the meeting between Eve and John, making their encounter one of the major attractions surrounding the film ahead of release. Ian McShane and Lance Reddick return Ian McShane reprises his role as Winston, while Lance Reddick returns as Charon. Their presence reconnects Ballerina with the Continental and the network of relationships that have long surrounded John Wick. For audiences familiar with the franchise, these returning characters provide continuity while Eve’s story introduces new conflicts and personalities. The film also became Lance Reddick’s final appearance as Charon, adding particular significance to his return to the world of the Continental. Gabriel Byrne as the Chancellor Gabriel Byrne joins the franchise as the Chancellor, a powerful figure connected with the forces Eve encounters during her pursuit of vengeance. His character introduces a new source of danger into the assassin world, allowing the story to move beyond the familiar institutions of the Continental and High Table. As Eve follows the trail connected with her past, she enters territory where entire communities can be shaped by violence, secrecy and loyalty to forces that operate outside ordinary society. Norman Reedus joins the assassin underworld Norman Reedus appears as Daniel Pine, adding another unpredictable figure to Eve’s journey. His inclusion expands the cast beyond returning John Wick characters and introduces a new personality operating within the dangerous network surrounding her mission. With Eve unable to assume that everyone she meets can be trusted, characters such as Pine add uncertainty to a story where alliances may change quickly and survival can depend upon understanding another person’s motives before it is too late. Len Wiseman directs a new chapter Len Wiseman directs From the World of John Wick: Ballerina from a screenplay by Shay Hatten. The film takes the carefully constructed rules, locations and action language associated with the John Wick franchise and places a new central character inside them. Rather than moving away from the established world, the story takes place around the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, allowing Eve’s path to intersect naturally with characters and institutions audiences already recognise. Action with grace and brutality The title Ballerina reflects the unusual combination at the centre of Eve Macarro’s character. Her training connects discipline and controlled movement with the brutal demands of survival in the assassin world. The promotional trailers showcase close-quarters combat, firearms and increasingly inventive confrontations while maintaining the highly choreographed physical style associated with John Wick. Ana de Armas therefore enters a role requiring both precision and intensity as Eve learns to turn every available advantage into a weapon. A personal journey of revenge At its core, Ballerina begins with Eve’s determination to confront the people responsible for destroying her family. Revenge gives her a clear destination, but the journey towards it requires entering a world where every action can create new enemies and consequences. The John Wick universe has always treated violence as something governed by its own codes and debts, and Eve’s mission promises to test whether personal justice can ever remain simple once she becomes part of that hidden system. A new perspective on a familiar world One of the major attractions of Ballerina is the opportunity to experience the John Wick universe through someone other than its legendary central assassin. Eve enters the world with something to prove and much still to learn, allowing familiar organisations and rules to be seen from another angle. Returning characters create continuity, while the new protagonist gives the franchise room to explore different relationships, motivations and forms of action without abandoning the dangerous mythology audiences already know. An A-certified action thriller The Central Board of Film Certification granted the English version of From the World of John Wick: Ballerina an A certificate on May 16, 2025, with a certified length of 127.3 minutes.

Eve’s training, confrontations and journey through the assassin underworld provide the foundation for action that moves from tightly controlled hand-to-hand encounters to larger and increasingly dangerous battles. For audiences who enjoy the John Wick series, the film offers an opportunity to return to that world while following a completely new lead character into unexplored territory.
