Ana de Armas Trains Hard and Hits Hard in New Behind-the-Scenes Look at ‘Ballerina’

Ana de Armas‘ Ballerina is now just days away, the first spin-off movie in the John Wick franchise, and if the latest behind-the-scenes feature is any indication, she’s not pulling any punches. The new video gives a glimpse at the intense training and choreography that went into bringing the character of Eve to life. De Armas, who underwent months of weapons and stunt training, is seen working through combat scenes with fierce determination. “If I am disciplined, I can get there,” she says, speaking to the grit and focus required for the role.

Directed by Len Wiseman and produced by Chad Stahelski, Ballerina takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4. The film centers on Eve, a highly trained assassin shaped by the Ruska Roma the same organization that once trained Wick. You can watch the behind the scene feature below.

The recent trailer hints at a tense encounter between Eve and Keanu Reeves’ John Wick. It’s not about romance. It’s about recognition two professionals who speak the same brutal language. The trailer doesn’t give much away, but the mood is heavy with anticipation. This is not a passing cameo. Reeves’ return, while brief, gives narrative weight to the film’s placement in the franchise timeline.

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, speaking in the BTS footage, praises de Armas. The two trained together extensively, ensuring their onscreen chemistry came from a place of trust and shared physicality. What the trailer and behind-the-scenes material make clear is that Ballerina may be a spin-off, but it isn’t playing it safe.

 Ballerina hits theaters on June 6.
