Time to check back into the Continental Hotel, but a trip to the Tarkovsky Theater is also planned.
Lionsgate on Thursday released a new trailer for the upcoming film From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, set to the gentle tune of Beethoven’s Für Elise. The latest entry in the John Wick franchise, Ballerina delves into the story of Rooney, one of the academy-trained assassins led by the director (Anjelica Huston). Moviegoers can watch the film when it hits theaters on June 6, 2025.
First introduced in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Rooney – played by Ana de Armas – was taken in by the Ruska Roma, where she learned to dance and kill with precision. In Ballerina, she is on a mission to take down those who killed her family. The trailer shows Winston offering to take Rooney to the dance school. In this case, that means learning hand-to-hand combat, weapons training, and dirty play. On her mission of revenge, she comes face to face with adversaries at whom she punches, kicks, stabs and points weapons, but a quick shot of the black-clad Baba Yaga takes things to the next level.
“How do I start doing what you do?” Rooney asks the Johannes Wick.
It’s a story set between John Wick 3 and 4, with Keanu Reeves set to appear as John Wick. Ian McShane reprises his role as Winston and the late Lance Reddick appears in his final turn as Charon. The cast also includes Gabriel Byrne as the villain, along with Huston, David Castañeda and Norman Reedus.
