Have you been yearning for more action-packed thrills from the acclaimed John Wick franchise? Then grab your tickets, as Len Wiseman's "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" storms into German cinemas on June 5th! Unlike its predecessors, this installment diverges from Keanu Reeves' iconic role, featuring the stunning Ana de Armas as the relentless Eve Macarro.
The Quest of Eve Macarro: A Vow of Vengeance
Set between "John Wick: Chapter 3" and "Chapter 4," "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" unveils a new dimension to the John Wick universe. Young Eve, our protagonist and sole survivor of a gruesome massacre, swears vengeance. To execute her plan, she hones her skills at a ballet academy cloaked as an assassin school and criminal haven, all headed by film legend Anjelica Huston.
Blood-Soaked Ballet: A Dynamic Dance of Destruction
Keanu Reeves, revered for performing his own stunts in the original series, faced an arduous journey. Ana de Armas, assuming the lead for the first time, rose to the challenge, working extensively with the illustrious 87Eleven stunt team, responsible for the spectacular action scenes in previous installments. Her preparation included rigorous strength training and tailored action moves shaped to accommodate her slender form.
The Ensemble: A Cast of Characters
Joining de Armas are familiar faces, including Keanu Reeves' revival as the enigmatic John Wick, Norman Reedus of "The Walking Dead," Ian McShane reprising his role as Winston, and the illustrious Anjelica Huston. Tragically, Lance Reddick, known for his memorable portrayal of Charon, passed away shortly after filming concluded, making "Ballerina" his final on-screen performance.
Opposite de Armas' Eve, we find Gabriel Byrne, the accomplished actor, lending his distinctive presence to the sinister character of The Chancellor. Catalina Sandino Moreno rounds out the ensemble, adding a mysterious element to this action-packed thriller.
