While waiting for John Wick 5, Ballerina offers herself a trailer with Keanu Reeves

While waiting for John Wick 5, Ballerina offers herself a trailer with Keanu Reeves

Since last summer, Ballerina hasn't had good press. This summer, World of Reel reported that press screenings had been organized and that the feedback was disastrous. According to the American media, the film suffers from shaky direction as well as numerous inconsistencies with the John Wick saga. In short, this proposal from Len Wiseman would be one capable of burying a franchise, nothing more, nothing less. The brief sequences shared over the past few weeks haven't allowed the public to truly take the temperature. This Wednesday, March 19, Lionsgate is sharing a longer and denser trailer, just to build up impatience among John Wick fans.

It features Ana de Armas' character, Eve Macarro. A former ballet dancer, she is initiated into the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma and sets out to take revenge on those responsible for her father's death. Revenge continues to be the driving force of the franchise; it remains to be seen whether it will bear fruit. Ana de Armas once again demonstrates her striking force, literally. She had already won over audiences in James Bond: No Time to Die in 2023. Here, the cursor is pushed further... in the pure tradition of the film series carried by Keanu Reeves. The latter will make a brief appearance. He is also present in these unpublished images, it is his first appearance in the character's shoes since John Wick 4 and its heartbreaking finale. As a reminder, the action takes place during John Wick: Parabellum, the third installment of the franchise.

Beautiful cast

To carry this new project, Lionsgate has not skimped on the stars. Ana de Armas will play opposite Ian McShane as Winston, and Anjelica Huston as the Director. Norman Reedus will also be on the trip, but his character's name is still a mystery. Gabriel Byrne, Catelina Sandino Moreno, and David Castaña will also be on the trip. The late Lance Reddick is also expected to make several appearances, as he had filmed all of his scenes before his death in March 2023.

As a reminder, Ballerina will be released in theaters on June 4th in France. While the character died in John Wick 4, the franchise is far from finished with theaters and the small screen. We learned a few days ago that a fifth installment was in development. Another series is also expected to emerge in the coming years, while The Continental marked the first attempt of its kind for the cinematic universe imagined by Chad Stahelski and David Leitch in 2023.
