Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves To Co-Star in Another Prequel

In addition to the Continental, the John Wick franchise will feature several other mini-series. For example, Ana de Armas will also star in another John Wick prequel, coming in 2024.

The spin-off titled Ballerina will show Ana de Armas in the role of Ballerina. Many may remember her from the third movie in the franchise. Now, Ballerina is back, as she seeks revenge for the death of her family.

Moreover, some of the cast members are Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston, and Ian McShane.

The news about the spin-off series spread after the premiere of the fourth movie in the franchise. Keanu Reeves spoke about these series in the closing sequence. He mentioned working with Ian McShane and Ana de Armas.

“Len Wiseman has a vision, but is also embracing, affectionately, the world of John Wick. Ian McShane is in it as Winston. So I felt that there was a cool handoff of stewardship, and it was fun to put the suit on again, however briefly. There’s a reason for John to be in Ballerina; it’s very organic. And working with Ana was great. She really loves action, and she’s really good at it.” Keanu Reeves about Ballerina
