A few months back, it was being reported that ‘No Time to Die’ actress Ana de Armas was in talks to play the central role in the upcoming movie ‘Ballerina’, which is a spin-off to the neo-noir action thriller ‘John Wick’ films starring Keanu Reeves. The speculations have been laid to rest as it has now been confirmed during the CinemaCon event that the Golden Globe-nominated actress Ana de Armas will indeed be starring in ‘Ballerina’.
Moreover, it is also being reported that the film’s production is expected to commence sometime in the months of June to August. ‘Ballerina’ will be directed by Len Wiseman, whose previous directorial credits include ‘Underworld’ and its sequel, ‘Die Hard 4.0’, ‘Total Recall’ reboot, and has directed episodes of ‘Sleepy Hollow’ and ‘Lucifer’ series, amongst others.
The plotline of ‘Ballerina’ ostensibly revolves around a young female assassin who makes it her mission to exact revenge against those people who had murdered her family. The character was first introduced in an understated role in ‘John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’. Currently, it is still not known whether the franchise veteran Keanu Reeves would make an appearance alongside Ana de Armas in ‘Ballerina’.
The Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas, who catapulted into the international limelight with Rian Johnson’s widely acclaimed whodunnit ‘Knives Out’, was last seen alongside Ben Affleck in Adrian Lyne’s mystery thriller film ‘Deep Water’. Besides ‘Ballerina’, her forthcoming acting projects include Marilyn Monroe’s biopic ‘Blonde’, the Russo brothers’ directorial ‘The Gray Man’, and Dexter Fletcher’s romantic action film ‘Ghosted’ co-starring Chris Evans and Adrien Brody.
