Keanu Reeves, the main man of "John Wick", is renowned for his commitment to performing his own stunts. The process was no walk in the park, leaving him with a fair share of bruises. As the new lead, Ana de Armas was no exception. In her pursuit of authenticity for "Ballerina", she worked tirelessly with the legendary 87Eleven stunt team, responsible for the epic action scenes in the previous John Wick installments. De Armas underwent rigorous strength training and intricate stunt preparation, culminating in her emulating her delicate physique in her action sequences, which often left her sporting impressive bruises.
Familiar Faces and New Talent
The "Ballerina" cast boasts some familiar names, such as the return of Keanu Reeves, who appears twice as John Wick, engaging in an epic showdown with de Armas' Eve. Other returning cast members include "The Walking Dead's" Norman Reedus, and the ever-popular Ian McShane and Lance Reddick, who, unfortunately, passed away just weeks after finishing the film’s production. Reddick's final on-screen performance can be seen in "Ballerina". De Armas' Eve also squares off against "The Usual Suspects' " Gabriel Byrne as the Chancellor in this gritty, action-packed film.
With a talented cast, energetic combat sequences, and the signature John Wick style, "Ballerina" promises to be an unforgettable addition to the franchise, further cementing its place as a contender in the world of action cinema.
