With the theatrical release just weeks away, Lionsgate has unveiled the final trailer for From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas. The latest glimpse into the highly anticipated action thriller promises to deliver the franchise’s signature blend of stylish violence and intricate world-building. Set chronologically during the events of 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the upcoming Ballerina centers on Eve Macarro, a ballerina-turned-assassin trained by the lethal Ruska Roma crime syndicate. Fans of Parabellum may recall a brief scene featuring a young ballerina rehearsing at the syndicate’s headquarters, led by the formidable Director, played once again by Anjelica Huston. That young dancer, now portrayed by de Armas, is driven by a quest for vengeance following the brutal murder of her father.
The final trailer opens with Eve dramatically in the direct line of fire from a sniper rifle-wielding John Wick (Keanu Reeves). She intones, “When you think of me, you should think of fire” as she stands in front of a flaming backdrop. While much of the subsequent footage includes action sequences seen in previous trailers, it showcases de Armas’s fierce portrayal of the titular character as she navigates a dangerous underworld, dispatching enemies with lethal grace. Her determined vow uttered in the final teaser, “This isn’t done until they’re dead,” underscores the tense stakes.
Returning alongside Huston are franchise stalwarts Ian McShane as the Continental Hotel owner Winston and Lance Reddick as the hotel’s loyal concierge, Charon. The film introduces new players to the Wick universe, including Gabriel Byrne as the villainous Chancellor and Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Nogi, Eve’s mentor, along with Norman Reedus as Daniel Pine, and Catalina Sandino Moreno and David Castaneda. From the World of John Wick: Ballerina hits theaters on June 6. Watch the final trailer below.
