Ana de Armas’ John Wick spinoff movie, Ballerina, is set to begin filming this summer. In recent years, the Cuban actress has enjoyed a steady rise to stardom with roles in Blade Runner 2049, Knives Out, and No Time to Die. And she shows no signs of slowing down. De Armas’ upcoming roles include Norma Jeane/Marilyn Monroe in Blonde and Dani Miranda in Joe and Anthony Russo’s star-studded spy-thriller for Netflix, The Gray Man.
Another one of her intriguing upcoming projects is the John Wick spinoff film titled Ballerina, which is being directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard) with a screenplay by Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Army of the Dead). The story will follow de Armas as a female assassin dead set on seeking revenge against those responsible for killing her family. As revealed in 2019’s Parabellum, Angelica Huston’s character, The Director, grooms young ballerinas to be assassins in the same facility where John Wick was trained, laying the foundation for the spinoff.
