Ballerina

Set amid the high tension of the John Wick world, Ballerina follows Eve Macarro as she enters the brutal school of the Ruska Roma and learns to move with lethal precision. The story traces her early days of training, discipline, and the quiet craft behind the assassin's code. As she trains, she encounters a web of alliances and rivalries that pull her toward decisions with far reaching consequences, all while the shadow of the larger underworld closes in. The film keeps the focus on Eve's personal discipline, skill growth, and the cost of choosing a path where loyalty is tested and power is earned. Her mentors challenge her with choices that test loyalty and nerve. The path remains perilous indeed.

Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina expands the John Wick universe created by Derek Kolstad and Shay Hatten. Ana de Armas plays Eve, with Keanu Reeves returning as John Wick, alongside Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston and Gabriel Byrne, in support roles.

Box office figures have not been publicly released at this time and no confirmed worldwide gross has been announced yet. Studio press statements sometimes update this, but no numbers are available as of now. Numbers may shift as releases occur.

As of now, there are no major awards announced for Ballerina. The film is still establishing itself within the franchise, and the level of critical acclaim may hinge on its action choreography, performances, and how it expands the Wick world. If nominations arrive, they may target design and ensemble acting.

Reception centers on Eve's arc and the film's handling of loyalty, power, and a code shaped by a brutal underworld. Wiseman's direction aims for kinetic set pieces without losing core character stakes. Ana de Armas brings a controlled intensity that complements the franchise's signature style. Audiences connect Eve to Wick.
