The Ballerina (2025) trailer, a spin-off from the John Wick universe, teases a high-octane revenge story led by Ana de Armas as Eve Macarro. Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, the trailer opens with Eve training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma, blending her ballet skills with deadly combat techniques. A haunting voiceover reveals her motivation: avenging her father’s murder. The trailer showcases intense action sequences, including Eve battling enemies in a burning opera house and a tense standoff with the film’s antagonist, the Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne).
Familiar faces from the John Wick series appear, including Keanu Reeves as John Wick, Ian McShane as Winston, and Lance Reddick in his final role as Charon. A pivotal moment shows Eve seeking advice from John, who cryptically tells her, “Looks like you already know how.” The trailer ends with Eve facing a mysterious figure, hinting at a deeper conspiracy behind her father’s death.
The film’s production budget is estimated at $50–80 million, reflecting its high-quality action and star-studded cast. As part of the John Wick franchise, it is expected to perform well, with projections suggesting a significant box office return, further solidifying the franchise’s global success.
