Two of the deadliest assassins in the world are set to go head-to-head inFrom the World of John Wick: Ballerina. Ever since the ending ofJohn Wick: Chapter 4, fans of the franchise have desperately wanted to see “Baba Yaga” again. While a fifthJohn Wickmovie hasn’t been confirmed, Keanu Reeves will return in theupcomingBallerina, which is the first spinoff movie for the franchise and will follow Ana de Armas' Eve. In addition to Armas and Reeves, thecast ofBallerinaincludes Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane, and the late Lance Reddick.
While Armas and Reedus are both new additions to the franchise, Huston, McShane, Reddick, and, of course, Reeves have all appeared in previousJohn Wickmovies. It will be great to see all these actors reprise their roles inBallerina, but I am definitely the most excited to see Reeves return as John Wick. The newtrailer forBallerinareveals more about Reeves' role in the upcoming action movie, andI am now even more hyped to see Reeves and Armas share the screen inBallerina.
Ballerina’s Trailer Confirms Keanu Reeves & Ana De Armas Fight In The John Wick Spinoff
John Wick Is Sent To Stop Eve In Ballerina
In the upcoming spinoff movie, Armas' Eve is a ballerina assassin who trained under Huston’s The Director, who previously appeared inJohn Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum. The Director is the leader of the New York branch of the Ruska Roma, one of the twelve criminal organizations which hold a seat at the High Table. Additionally, she is John Wick’s adoptive mother. Their relationship with The Director proves thatEve and John Wick will have a lot in common inBallerina.
However, as revealed in theBallerinatrailer, when Eve goes rogue and sets out to kill those responsible for her father’s death, The Director sends John Wick after her. Therefore,when Eve and John Wick face off inBallerina, they are not on the same side. The trailer shows that John Wick gives Eve the chance to abandon her mission inBallerina, but teases that the two assassins will ultimately end up fighting each other.
Ana De Armas & Keanu Reeves Fighting In Ballerina Is Immediately One Of Its Most Exciting Sequences
It Will Be Great To See John Wick Fight Again
Up until this point, it has been unclear exactly what Reeves' role inBallerinawould be. However,this trailer proves that John Wick will stand in the way of Eve completing her mission. The trailer shows Eve shooting at Reeves' iconic character, teasing the beginning of a fight between the two assassins. Later in the trailer, Eve looks up at John Wick as he aims a sniper at her. While it is highly unlikely that John Wick will kill Eve, this trailer sets up a potentially deadly conflict between the two of them.
More than likely, John Wick will end up disobeying his orders and let Eve continue her mission.
It is currently unknown who will win the fight between Eve and John WickinBallerina. John Wick has continuously proven he is one of the deadliest assassins in the world, butBallerinawill also want to set up Eve as a force to be reckoned with. More than likely, John Wick will end up disobeying his orders and let Eve continue her mission. After all, he will definitely be able to relate to her desire for vengeance. Therefore, while it will be exciting to see John Wick and Eve fight, I don’t think their fight will last very long.
Keanu Reeves & Ana De Armas' Ballerina Fight Removes One Concern With John Wick’s Role
Keanu Reeves Has An Important Role In Ballerina
Even if their fight doesn’t last a long time, I’m happy to see that Reeves will play an important role inBallerina’sstory. When it was announced that Reeves would be appearing in the spinoff, I was concerned that his role would be a brief cameo to appease fans of the mainJohn Wickmovies. However, based on this trailer, it seems likeJohn Wick is actively involved inBallerina’sstory.
Keanu Reeves' John Wick Replacement Can’t Happen Unless One Specific Condition Is Met
Ana de Armas' Ballerina could set her up as the replacement to Keanu Reeves' John Wick, but the movie will need to recreate one thing to do it.
Furthermore, it would have been very easy for John Wick to just have one scene talking to Eve inBallerina. However, this trailer confirms that he will be part of some major action scenes in the movie. This is a huge relief, sincetheJohn Wickmovies have such a positive reputation because of their inventive action sequences. Therefore, it will be great to see Reeves in action again as the iconic assassin inFrom the World of John Wick: Ballerina.
