A teaser poster and featurette for subsequent yr’s Ballerina, which serves as a midquel spin-off of the John Wick franchise, has arrived.
Lionsgate is bringing mild in darkness, unveiling a personality poster for Ana de Armas’ Eve Macarro, the titular ballerina of the upcoming John Wick spin-off film, including to the already peak anticipation for this enlargement. Following their CCXP presentation Sunday, Lionsgate additionally launched a brand new prolonged look featurette inspecting the movie.
As you’ll be able to see on the poster, Eve is tatted up, with one notable phrase standing out above the remaining: Lux in Tenebris, which is Latin for Gentle in Darkness. Which may really feel just a little on the nostril, nevertheless it does give us a greater glimpse into her psyche – particularly when she’s received a gun in her hand. The poster has unbelievable coloring to it, too, which performs off of the trailer fairly properly. Test it out:
In the trailer that was launched in September, we noticed a well-known face immediately, Winston Scott (Ian McShane), who approaches a younger Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) and affords to deliver her to a ballerina faculty. Besides these are not any abnormal lessons and shortly she is prepped with: “To stop the assassin, you must become the assassin.” From there, it was cleverly set to Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer” – however this ballerina isn’t precisely dancing within the sand, as an alternative positioning herself as somebody you don’t precisely need to tango with. And for these questioning, sure, Keanu Reeves does flip up within the trailer, with Eve stating, “You’re him. The one they call the Baba Yaga. How do I start doing what you do?”
Whereas we must wait till June sixth for Ballerina to hit theaters, every part we’ve been given up to now ought to maintain us no less than for some time. Whereas the 4 John Wick motion pictures have simply marked themselves as among the finest motion motion pictures to return out of the century – with loads holding the argument that it’s one of many best motion franchises ever – all of us received just a little skeptical of the aim of increasing as soon as Peacock’s The Continental disillusioned.
However based mostly on the supplies launched up so far, I’m anticipating superb issues that match nicely into the John Wick universe (hey, it’s proper there within the clunky official title, too: From the World of John Wick: Ballerina). For the sake of understanding the narrative, Ballerina takes place between the occasions of 2019’s Parabellum and final yr’s John Wick 4, therefore the extra battered John Wick.
Along with Reeves and McShane, Ballerina may also deliver again Anjelica Huston and the late Lance Reddick, with the movie marking his last posthumous look. It’ll additionally introduce Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus and Catalina Sandino Moreno into the combination.
Are you trying ahead to Ballerina? The place do you see the John Wick franchise going from right here?
