A New Assassin Steps In — And She’s Not Here to Play Nice
If you're a fan of John Wick’s brutal fight scenes, mysterious assassin codes, and slick world-building, you're going to want to keep your eyes on this one. Because now? There's a new killer taking the spotlight — and she’s not messing around.
Meet Rooney, played by the fierce and talented Ana de Armas. She’s not just here to shoot and stab her way through the enemy list — she’s here with style, precision, and a serious mission: revenge.
She was trained in a ballet school — but not the kind with pirouettes and applause. Think: hidden knives, broken bones, and discipline that turns little girls into weapons. Now, after her family is murdered, Rooney takes everything she learned and sets out to take justice into her own hands.
Expect bullets, ballet, and brutal takedowns. And yes — she’ll look flawless doing it.
What’s the Movie About?
Rooney grew up in a secret assassin training program that was masked as a ballet academy — the same one we briefly saw in John Wick 3. It's where elegance meets violence, and every movement is a kill shot.
But when her family is taken from her, Rooney turns her training into a mission. This isn't just about killing — it's personal. She’s smart, emotional, and relentless, fighting not just against the people who wronged her, but also the system that raised her to be a weapon.
Why You Should Definitely Watch Ballerina
1. Ana de Armas Is a Total Powerhouse
We’ve seen her kick serious butt in No Time to Die and The Gray Man — but now she’s leading the charge. She brings a raw mix of beauty, rage, and heart to the role of Rooney. You're gonna root for her... and maybe be a little scared of her too.
2. That Classic John Wick Vibe, But Fresh
Everything you love about the John Wick world — the underground rules, the classy-but-violent aesthetics, the endless gunplay — it’s all here. But this time, we see it through a female assassin’s eyes, which gives it a whole new edge.
3. A Beautiful Mix of Art and Violence
Rooney’s fighting style blends ballet and brutal hand-to-hand combat. It’s elegant, intense, and unlike anything you’ve seen. Imagine Black Swan doing a collab with John Wick — that’s the vibe.
4. Familiar Faces & Deeper Lore
Don’t worry — Keanu Reeves is back as John Wick (!!!) and Anjelica Huston returns as the mysterious Director. This film digs deeper into the assassin world, revealing more about the inner workings behind the curtain.
5. It’s Got Heart Beneath the Blood
At the center of all the action is a real story about loss, identity, and taking back control. It’s not just a shoot-em-up movie — it’s about a woman who was raised in violence trying to reclaim her life and fight for something more.
Ballerina isn’t just some side project — it’s a bold and emotional new chapter in the John Wick saga. With Ana de Armas taking center stage, it promises to be both a stunning visual ride and a powerful character story.
Whether you're here for the action, the lore, or the emotional weight, this movie has all the right moves.
Mark your calendars for June 6, 2025, and get ready to watch grace turn lethal.
