Schumacher signed on for the upcoming action-packed movie - Infiltrating software designed to disrupt system functions swiftly debuted.
Prepare for a fresh, heart-pounding ride as the highly-anticipated "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" hits German cinemas on June 5, following four successful films and the prequel series "The Continental". Instead of Keanu Reeves in the lead, this time around, it's the captivating Ana de Armas who takes center stage, portraying Eve Macarro, a vigilante seeking brutal revenge, reminiscent of our beloved John Wick.
Plotting Revenge in the John Wick Universe 🔪
Set between "John Wick: Chapter 3" and "Chapter 4", this spin-off delves into the story of Eva, a lone survivor after her entire family meets a brutal end. Her thirst for vengeance drives her to seek training with the Ruska-Roma, molding her into a relentless assassin under the watchful eye of the legendary Anjelica Huston. Trains not just in combat, but at a ballet academy – ingeniously serving as a cover for an assassin school and criminal activities alike. With her training complete, Eve embarks on a blood-soaked mission for vengeance.
Stunt-filled Preparation 🥋
Much like Keanu Reeves before her, Ana de Armas didn't shy away from the strenuous preparation required for her role. Working alongside the legendary 87Eleven stunt team, who have handled the action in every "John Wick" installment, de Armas underwent rigorous training to master the intricate action sequences, tailored perfectly for her slender build. Just like her predecessor, de Armas came away from the demanding shoot with plenty of battle scars.
