Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves Face Off in Fiery New Trailer for John Wick Spin-Off ‘Ballerina’

Ana de Armas is stepping into the gun-smoke-filled world of John Wick in a big way. The latest trailer from Ballerina —the franchise’s first standalone spin-off—gives us a tense face-to-face moment between de Armas’ new assassin, Eve, and Keanu Reeves’ iconic hitman. Sparks fly, not from romance, but from the kind of tightly wound tension that usually ends in gunfire. This isn’t a casual reunion. It’s the calm before a storm, you can watch below.

Set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, Ballerina follows Eve, a young woman with a traumatic past and a very specific skillset—one shaped by the deadly training of the Ruska Roma, the same secretive order that once molded Wick himself. She’s not just another killer. She’s a woman with a vendetta, and she’s bringing precision, firepower, and ballet-trained brutality with her.

Eve isn’t just another trained killer—she’s a weapon sharpened by grief and precision. Where John Wick was driven by vengeance with barely restrained fury, Eve is colder, more methodical. Her mission is personal, but her execution is professional. Every move she makes is part of a bigger plan, shaped by a life lived under the watchful eyes of assassins who taught her that elegance and brutality aren’t mutually exclusive.

Keanu Reeves returns in a supporting role, offering a thread of continuity for longtime fans. But make no mistake—this is Eve’s story. And while Wick’s legacy looms large, de Armas looks to carry the mantle with intensity. One still image from Screen Rant’s preview shows Eve mid-standoff, expression cold and focused, echoing the signature Wick resolve with a fresh edge.

The film also teases new faces and weapons, notably Eve’s flamethrower—a brutal tool she’s wielded in the film’s promotional material. Directed by Len Wiseman and produced by John Wick architect Chad Stahelski, Ballerina aims to expand the franchise without rehashing it.

With Ballerina, the John Wick universe is stepping into new territory, one led by a different kind of fury. If the latest glimpses are anything to go by, Eve isn’t following in Wick’s footsteps. She’s carving her own bloody path.
