Release Date- June 6, 2025


There’s no denying all the untapped potential for John Wick films. The possibilities for different areas, characters, and factions to explore are nearly endless, a rich tapestry loaded with a lot of intriguing ideas and stories.

It’s another story about a relentless pursuit of vengeance. Ana de Armas looks great here, playing the assassin facing seemingly insurmountable odds. A lot similarities to the challenges John Wick had to fight through during his quests for revenge. 

A good amount of familiar faces throughout the trailer. I get the feeling Reeves’ appearances will be limited to cameo status, because this is Eve’s (Ana de Armas) story. Winston will obviously have an important role, and it’s good to see one final appearance from Lance Reddick. 

Hopefully, Ballerina succeeds as a film existing in the world of John Wick, without heavily relying on Wick himself to carry the movie. The trailer is loaded with the slick, crafty, and fast paced action sequences you’d expect from a John Wick film. And I’m sure Gabriel Byrne will successfully continue the trend of aristocratic villains, with sociopathic mean streaks.
