In 2014, an old film was released that went unnoticed. It was called John Wick – De Volta ao Jogo, and it became a tremendous commercial success, so it didn’t take long for the scenes to be checked out. Both films in this franchise have each had greater success than the previous one, so Lionsgate decided to expand that universe, first with O Continental, a miniseries that we can watch on Amazon Prime Video, And then with Ballerina, a spin-off starring Ana de Armas.
Ballerina is the only project with a pending launch in this franchise, and in it we will also be able to see Keanu Reeves, who is still thinking about whether or not to make John Wick 5.

Lionsgate will mark the exclusive launch of Ballerina in theaters on June 7, 2024. At first there won’t be any kind of link with The Continental, an Amazon miniseries released months after John Wick 4 hits theaters, but they do include some sort of Easter egg.

The show will be headlined by Cuba’s Ana de Armas, who will get the opportunity to showcase all her talent for contemporary cinema, which she demonstrated in her brief but memorable participation in ‘007 – It’s Time to Die’. Ballerina director Len Wiseman has made it clear that we will love her Atakao.
It has also been confirmed that Reeves will be returning to the famous character of John Wick, but don’t expect his presence to be too marked in his solo adventures, as he only had a part in the Ballerina films for a week.
