Get ready for a new powerful duo to take over our screens Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves. The 34 year old Blonde star and The Matrix actor are teaming up for a new film titled Ballerina a spin off to the latters hit action franchise John Wick with de Armas in a leading role.
According to Deadline the upcoming Lionsgate film will also see another familiar face Ian McShane join the ensemble as The Continental Hotel manager named Winston who he played in the original 2014 John Wick film. Ballerina will explore the life of a young female assassin De Armas who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family, in a similar vein to how Wick took vengeance against those who had wronged him in the John Wick films.
Of course this would not be the first time the actors have appeared on screen together having previously starred in the 2015 thriller Knock Knock together. Ballerina is currently in production with Len Wiseman directing from an adaption of a script by Shay Hatten. But if you are in need of some Reeves goodness then you will be happy to hear that his fourth John Wick film John Wick Chapter 4 is due for release on Friday March 23 2023.
In recent months De Armas has recently been praised for her portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in 2022 Netflix drama Blonde about the late actors life despite mixed reactions from viewers over the portrayal of Monroe and the power dynamics presented in the film. Defending some of the explicit scenes in Netflixs Blonde released on September 23 De Armas told Entertainment Weekly I did not feel exploited because I was in control. I made that decision.
