With the film’s theatrical debut just three weeks away, Lionsgate has unveiled a final trailer for From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, featuring Ana de Armas. The trailer aims to excite fans for this latest installment of the highly successful franchise, which promises an array of explosive action sequences.
(Caution: Spoilers ahead for John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum.)
Set against the backdrop of the events from John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum, Ballerina explores the story of Eve Macarro, with de Armas stepping into the lead role. In Chapter 3, John Wick was placed on the run and declared excommunicado from the High Table after killing crime lord Santino D’Antonio within the boundaries of the Continental. During this tumultuous time, he seeks refuge with the Ruska Roma crime syndicate, presided over by the Director, played by Anjelica Huston, who also trains a select group of young girls as ballerina-assassins.
Huston reprises her role as the Director, while Ian McShane returns as Winston, and Lance Reddick makes an emotional posthumous appearance as Charon, the concierge of the Continental. The film also introduces several new characters, including Gabriel Byrne as the Chancellor, the main antagonist who incites a town against Eve; Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Nogi, Eve’s mentor; Norman Reedus as Daniel Pine; along with Catalina Sandino Moreno and David Castaneda in undisclosed roles.
The initial trailer debuted in September, presenting an in-depth look at Eve’s tragic backstory, detailing her transition from an orphan to a hardened fighter training under the Ruska Roma in a quest for vengeance. Although Wick’s presence was minimal in this first glimpse, the subsequent trailer released in March showcased their dynamic further, featuring a dramatic confrontation amidst a snowy landscape.
This latest trailer begins with a tense moment where Eve finds herself aimed at by Wick, and while much of the footage is familiar, it highlights de Armas in action, portraying her lethal skills as she takes down an array of adversaries in classic John Wick fashion. Eve’s resolute statement captures her intensity: “This isn’t done until they’re dead.”
Fans can anticipate the release of From the World of John Wick: Ballerina in theaters on June 6, 2025.
