Huston returns as the Director, Ian McShane is back as Winston, and Lance Reddick makes one final (posthumous) appearance as the Continental concierge, Charon. New cast members include Gabriel Byrne as main villain the Chancellor, who turns an entire town against the titular ballerina, Eve Macarro (de Armas); Sharon Duncan-Brewster as Nogi; Norman Reedus as Pine; and Catalina Sandino Moreno and David Castaneda in as-yet-undisclosed roles.

Attendees at Cinemacon in April were treated to a teaser trailer; much of that footage seems to be in the trailer. We see Winston recruiting a young orphaned Eve with some scenes of her learning boxing, martial arts, and gun and knife skills. She’s looking for her father’s killer and naturally encounters some opposition, requiring her to fight a lot of nasty people, some armed with flamethrowers. Finally, she comes face to face with Wick, asking how she can start doing what he does. His response: “Looks like you already have.”  De Armas looks fierce as hell and up to the physical challenges of her role. We’re looking forward to this one.

From the World of John Wick: Ballerina hits theaters on June 6, 2025.
