Although it’s a different character, Ballerina, the John Wick spin-off starring Ana de Armas (Blonde, Dying can wait…), will be interested in the hero of the franchise.
The film ballerina is taking shape and, according to initial information, looks quite promising. Evidenced by this new detail that should delight fans of Baba Yaga. THE ” John Wick-verse” is running!
The John Wick spin-off will flesh out its hero
ballerinathe spin-off of John Wick, will tell the story of Rooney, a ballet dancer who is also trained as a hitman. A young woman played by Unity Phelan in John Wick: Parabellum
A film that will leave Baba Yaga aside, but not entirely. If only because Keanu Reeves will be present, and then we should know exactly more about his origins. But through ballerina’s eyes. Ana de Armas explained this in an interview:
Ballerina has been a really exciting journey for me because originally, six years ago, the project had nothing to do with the John Wick films. The scenario played out in a different part of the world, in the Swiss Alps. A territory unexplored by previous films. I think it allowed us to stick with the original script without stepping on John Wick’s toes. But he’s also a character that we know went to the same academy as John. I think in Ballerina you have an opportunity to get a glimpse of John’s experiences when he was there, but through the eyes of a different character. This resolves some of Wick’s gray areas, albeit from the perspective of a new protagonist.
The movie Ballerina is directed by Len Wiseman (Die Hard 4, Underworld…) and managed to convince a Walking Dead star to be a part of it.
The Wick verse with video games
In addition to John Wick 4, which is on the cards, and its spin-off Ballerina, a AAA video game is also under consideration. The Lionsgate CEO even revealed that there have been proposals from studios.
I can’t speculate too much but we think there’s a big AAA game up for grabs in John Wick. We have received suggestions. We’re undoubtedly interested in moving this project forward, but I don’t want to say more at this point.
Will it really succeed and when? These are two questions that we absolutely want to have answers to. Baba Yaga already had a video game adaptation thanks to Mike Bithell. The developer of Thomas was alone etc volumeamong others, who decided to combine strategy and action for a winning cocktail.
