The Len Wisman actor in 2025 "Ballerina", which was sold as "from the world of won wick: ballerina", Starswoli Anna de Armas as Eva McCro, super-comfortable killer, raised in bizarre and ultra-violent assassin. Because "Ballerina" takes place in the same continuity as the films "Johnon Wick", its mythology is painfully complex and semi-unchanged. Johnon Wick's films are set in a world where a quarter of the country's population belongs to the guild of one killer or another, all of them are constantly at war. It also works with the Byzantine system of chips, favorites and blood frames, with the entire industry appearing to provide assassinated clothing, weapons, education and accommodation.

The four Johnon Wick films that preceded "Ballerina" - all directed by Trick Chad Stahelski - set up the franchise killer in torture details, and at the same time providing audiences some of the most spectacular action movies In many years. The Ballerina itself is a spin-off film for Russian Roma, a Russian crime union that uses a ballet school as its front. Eva McCroe is a young woman grown in a Russian Roma after learning to fight and kill with efficiency partly through ballet practice. At the beginning of the film, Eve sees that Johnon Vick (Keanu Reeves) passes through the school and they share a brief interaction. This scene overlaps with some of the events of "Johnon Vick: Chapter 2."

It would have been enough to determine that yes, Johnon Wick was part of this world, but the creatives "Ballerina" took a few steps away from the end of the film. Indeed, the culmination of the film shows Johnon and deals with a shootout with Eve, as well as the whole snow village of bad guys. As a result, Johnon ends playing a big role in the third act of the film.

Speaking in an interview for Hollywood reporterStahelski was Frank for the inclusion of Johnon Wick in "Ballerina". The character, admitted Stailski, was not a huge part of the early drafts of the film. Instead, his role was eventually expanded to strengthen the film's connection to the larger Johnon Wick property.

Stahelski also admitted that he did not want the idea of ​​joined Johnon Wick in the ballerina. It is worth remembering that Johnon Wick dies - quite poetic - at the end of 2023 "won wick: chapter 4." "" Since then, the creative overseers of the property have been strained to find ways to keep the franchise "Johnon Wick" that goes to the image of the title. "Ballerina" came after the announcement of "Continental" (largely led by TV show that debuted in 2023) And he was supposed to be for a Johnon Vick Juhnon: Chapter 3 - Parabelum "(one originally featured by unity) that takes place on his own adventures. Vick himself, however, should not have been a major part of it.

After all, however, Stahelski reluctantly agreed to bring Johnon into a mixture, acknowledging that "ballerina" is needed, in essence, foot up. The franchise had to stay large, so Reeves was a good way to do so. As Stahelski said:

"It wasn't in the original scenario. To be honest, I was against it. But I see the benefit and we wanted to help (Len Wisman). We have just opened up"Johnon Vick 4, ' And it was huge. He could not return to the model of the first. "Johnon wick ' And do a little Indian job of $ 18 million and try to build it. To stay in the same game, you had to give him a chance to fight. And the easiest way to convey it - at least, from the studio's point of view - was a wicked in '' 'Ballerina ' in a special timetable. "

The "Special Time" comment was to cover up all the inconsistencies between the "Ballerina" films and the existing "Johnon Wick" films, which do not have to synchronize perfectly. It is easier to say that this is the story of free sides with the same characters, mythology and physics as "Johnon Wick", but it does not overlap directly. It can even be called semi-channel if anyone wanted a definition.

Of course, now that Johnon Vick has appeared in a "ballerina", which means that for other planned spin-offs of "Johnon Wick"? From this writing, Lionsgate maps the spin-off movie for KaneThe blind killer played by Donny Chen in "Johnon Wick: Chapter 4" (with Chen and Rina Savayama was to repeat her roles from "Chapter 4" in the film). Stahelski came out on the record to say that Johnon Vick would definitely not be part of this project, explaining:

"Spin-off Donny Chen doesn't have the image of Won Vick.Johnon Vic 1 '' It was for Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin, this is for Joe Jun-Mat, Johnon Wu and Wong Car-Wai. So, I think someone is a little easier to convey to the audience because they are in the sub-genre of what we want. "

In case you need a refresher, Charles Bronson and Lee Marvin and the two played violent, characters driven by revenge in the films "Death Desire" and "Point Blank", respectively. Similarly, actor Jaw Jun and director Johnon Wu made some highly celebrated action films together in the late 1980s and early 90s. As for the Kar-Wai, he is one of the most famous filmmakers currently working, best known for his beautiful photography and Stories of romantic longing as "in the mood for Loveubov". It seems that all stakeholders are the fans of those directors and aim to do something in their style.

Other planned Johnon Wick projects include an animated foretelling film and (somehow) "Johnon Vick: Chapter 5," which will obviously bypass Johnon's death in the fourth movie on the main line. Maybe he died, but he got better. Then, again, if "special time frames" are allowed, then maybe everything goes.
