Ballerina has just been given some much-needed star power.
According to Collider, Keanu Reeves will reprise his role as John Wick in the upcoming spinoff film. The Hollywood Reporter has added that Ian McShane will also reprise his role as Winston Scott, the manager of the Continental Hotel, from the John Wick films. It is currently unclear how large the actors’ roles will be in the film. Will it be a cameo designed to get butts in the seats or are they an integral part of the film’s story?
Ballerina is currently filming in Prague and stars Ana de Armas in the title role as a young woman with killer skills seeking revenge against the hitmen who murdered her family. Len Wiseman is directing from a screenplay written by Shay Hatten. Ballerina will be the fifth film in the John Wick franchise and the first spinoff. A television spinoff, titled The Continental, is also in the works and will stream on Peacock in 2023.
Ballerina does not yet have a release date. However, John Wick: Chapter 4, starring both Reeves and McShane, among others, hits theaters on March 24, 2023.
