Ballerina – A Deadly Dance in the John Wick Universe

💃 “She Dances With Grace… And Kills Without Mercy”

The John Wick Universe is expanding — and Ballerina is leading the charge with a fierce, female-led assassin story. Starring Ana de Armas, this upcoming action-thriller blends elegance, revenge, and the brutal style we’ve come to love from Wick’s world.

If you thought John was intense, wait until you meet her.

Set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, Ballerina follows a young assassin named Rooney, who was trained in the same underground ballet academy that raised John Wick.

After her family is murdered, she sets out on a bloody mission of vengeance — using everything she learned from her days as a performer… and killer.
