Ballerina (2024)

Ballerina (2024) is an upcoming action-thriller and a spin-off from the John Wick franchise, directed by Len Wiseman. The film expands the world established in John Wick, focusing on a new protagonist—played by Ana de Armas—who is a highly skilled assassin with a ballet background. Ballerina is set to dive deeper into the universe of covert assassins and the underworld that the John Wick series has become known for.
While specific plot details are still under wraps, Ballerina follows the story of a young female assassin seeking vengeance for the death of her family. Similar to John Wick, the protagonist is a trained killer, but with a unique background in ballet, which informs her style of combat. The film is likely to explore her journey of retribution as she navigates the dangerous and complex world of assassins, working with and against various factions within that world. Expect high-octane action sequences, intense fight choreography, and emotional stakes rooted in her quest for justice.
Ana de Armas, known for her action roles in films like No Time to Die (2021) and The Gray Man (2022), brings her dynamic physicality to the role, combining her ballet training with lethal combat skills. Her character in Ballerina is set to have a personal vendetta at its core, reminiscent of John Wick’s journey, but with her own unique story arc and motivations.
