Ballerina It is written by Shay Hatten And originally, it was a script that was not related to the universe of John Wick. However, Lionsgate acquired the libretto and rework it so that the content gave birth to a new appendix for the criminal world created by Derek Kolstad. After this merger, Hatten co -written so much Parabellum Like the until now, the final chapter of the murderer. The trailer shows us to one of weapons willing to kill hundreds of enemies in order to find the organization that has put his life upside down.

‘Ballerina’ (Lionsgate).However, despite the commercial and critical success of these proposals, the route of Ballerina Even the big screen has been very rugged. The director Len Wiseman Filming ended at the end of 2022, but the project did not finish convincing a study that returned with new recordings in 2024, supervised by which it was the head of the franchise, Chad Stahelski.
Does the expansion of the saga have a future?
‘Ballerina’ (Lionsgate).Despite living in a Hollywood in which several franchises coexist, it seems complicated that the excess of prominence and charism of the main character of the saga allows a simple expansion of that universe. In other words, Does this world give to live without the presence of its iconic antihero? The perfect example is found in the postproduction problems of Ballerina or even, in the bad criticism harvested by the prequel series of The Continental.
Ana de Armas is the protagonist of ‘Ballerina’ (Lionsgate).With a collection of their feature films of almost 1,000 million dollarsLionsgate still does not seem to find the formula to continue commercially exploiting the story. Reason why from the Major They have already activated the formula of a John Wick 5 Without even, having the confirmation of Reeves. The luck for the company lies that in reality the previous chapter had a somewhat open end. But everything will depend largely on the confirmation of the Canadian return. The rest of the tasks in the future of the franchise go through a new Caine spin-off, the character Donnie Yen and the series John Wick: Under The High Tablewhich follows the events of several murderers after the events of John Wick 4.
Ballerina The next June 6.
