The project was first announced in 2019, following the theatrical debut of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, where it gives us our first look at the Ballerina assassins who are being trained by the Ruska Roma syndicate led by Anjelica Huston’s character.
During Lionsgate’s recent CinemaCon presentation, the studio has finally announced that production on the first John Wick spin-off film Ballerina is expected to begin sometime this summer.
Lionsgate is currently in post-production for John Wick: Chapter 4, which is slated to hit the theaters on March 24, 2023.
It has also been confirmed that Golden Globe nominee Ana de Armas has officially boarded the project as its female lead.
