From Knock Knock to Knockout — Ana de Armas reunites with Keanu Reeves in Ballerina
Ana de Armas' rise to the lead role is a powerful story in itself. Born in Cuba, she began her acting career in Spain, starring in Spanish-language films before making her English-language debut alongside Keanu Reeve read more Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina tells the gripping story of Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), a highly skilled assassin on a relentless quest for vengeance against those who destroyed her family. Set between the explosive events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, this latest installment expands the franchise's universe with the signature blend of pulse-pounding action, immersive world-building, and jaw-dropping stunts. Ana de Armas' rise to the lead role is a powerful story in itself. Born in Cuba, she began her acting career in Spain, starring in Spanish-language films before making her English-language debut alongside Keanu Reeves in Knock Knock (2015)—a film she shot while still learning English on set. Nearly a decade later, she reunites with Reeves, not as a newcomer, but as a formidable action star in her own right. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Reflecting on their collaboration, Keanu Reeves says, 'She's a wonderful actress, so talented. And that inner strength and motivation, being able to draw that up and to show that in the stillness of the scenes that we had together. She's quite a presence.' Len Wiseman agrees: 'She's perfect for the role in many ways. What I love about this franchise series is that it is more of an actor-based action, and so we see the actors doing more of their own performance and choreography. And she was game with that.' Ana didn't just embrace the role—she dove in headfirst.. From the very beginning, Ana insisted on undergoing intensive combat training and hands-on stunt work, determined to honor the high standards of the John Wick legacy. Her dedication is evident in every frame. Ballerina released in theatres across India on June 13th, presented by PVRINOX Pictures in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. In contrast to the invincible superheroes that dominate the screen, Eve bleeds, fights back, and transforms—making her story all the more human and resonant. With an ever-growing fan base for the John Wick universe in India, Ballerina is poised to become the next big theatrical obsession. As the countdown begins, one thing is certain—the action is just getting started.

'No one knows John Wick better than Keanu,' says Wiseman on Keanu Reeves' cameo in 'Ballerina'
With a massive fan following for the John Wick franchise in India, Ballerina is poised to become the next big cinematic obsession read more Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina tells the gripping story of Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), a highly skilled assassin on a relentless quest for vengeance against those who destroyed her family. Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, this latest installment delivers the franchise's signature hard-hitting action, immersive world-building, and jaw-dropping stunts. What sets Ballerina apart isn't just its fierce, emotionally charged protagonist — it's also how it reimagines the presence of John Wick himself. After reading the script, Keanu Reeves signed on to reprise his iconic role. Keanu typically undergoes six months of intensive training before he's ready to step onto a John Wick set ready to carry a dense action-packed film. But with BALLERINA, Reeves had the unique opportunity to contribute significantly to the film without as much pressure — or pain. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'It was an interesting prospect for him because it's Wick, but it's not Wick,' says Producer Erica Lee. As soon as he stepped on set, Reeves was 'deeply involved like he always is,' she adds. Reeves collaborated with Wiseman and contributed ideas by suggesting action sequences and tweaking dialogue, all of which enhanced the film. 'No one knows John Wick better than Keanu,' says Wiseman. That authenticity extends beyond Wick's presence. As franchise architect and producer Chad Stahelski points out, Ballerina offers a refreshing take on a character who has always been wrapped in myth. 'If you go back to the first film, John is a bit of a bogeyman,' he notes. 'So, it's interesting to experience John from Eve's perspective. He's still John Wick, and still a force to be reckoned with, but in another way. It's a slightly different Wick, because we're seeing him through the eyes of Eve.' And Eve isn't just any newcomer. She's a force in her own right — fierce, flawed, and forged by loss. Unlike the larger-than-life superheroes that dominate modern cinema, Eve is grounded. She bleeds. She fights back. She transforms. PVRINOX Pictures continues its strong commitment to Indian audiences, rolling out Ballerina with an extensive theatrical release across multiple languages like English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. As Ballerina gears up to bring its explosive action to Indian theatres on June 13th, the excitement is just getting started. With a massive fan following for the John Wick franchise in India, Ballerina is poised to become the next big cinematic obsession. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
