Fans of the John Wick franchise have good reasons to rejoice. The Ana de Armas-led spin-off Ballerina will start production in the coming week, TV Line has reported. The announcement was made by Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer during the latest investors' call.
The news came out last year that the No Time To Die star has been tapped for the lead role in Ballerina movie, which will follow a young assassin trained at the ballet school seen in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. The story follows her quest for revenge against those who killed her family. The feature will be helmed by Underworld director Len Wiseman who directs from a script by Shay Hatten, who is known for features like Zack Snyder’s Army Of The Dead and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY De Armas has proven her action chops in No Time to Die as well as the recently released Russo Brother’s Netflix movie The Gray Man where she starred alongside Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans. The Knives Out star was last seen in Blonde, directed by Andrew Dominik, based on the 2000 novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates.
No release date has been revealed yet for Ballerina. You can check out our interview with the Chapter 4 director Chad Stahelski below:
