From the moment the opening credits roll, "Ballerina" establishes itself as a bold new chapter in the ever-expanding John Wick universe. Released on June 6, 2025, this spin-off pivots away from the familiar tale of John Wick himself and instead focuses on Eve Macarro, played with steely determination and emotional depth by Ana de Armas. Set between the events of "John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum" and "Chapter 4," the film offers a fresh perspective on the underworld of assassins, shining a spotlight on the mysterious Ruska Roma crime syndicate and the traditions that shape its deadly members.

   

           Ana de Armas’s performance is the beating heart of "Ballerina." Critics have widely praised her portrayal, noting how she balances vulnerability with unyielding strength. Whether she’s executing a meticulously choreographed fight scene or quietly mourning her father’s memory, de Armas commands attention. Her physicality is remarkable, drawing on both the elegance of ballet and the brutality of combat. The action choreography, a standout feature in reviews, is creatively brutal, blending balletic movement with the kind of close-quarters combat that fans have come to expect from the Wick franchise. Each fight sequence is a dance—deadly, beautiful, and utterly captivating.
