A teaser poster and featurette for subsequent 12 months’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 may 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 a bit of on the nostril, however it does give us a greater glimpse into her psyche – particularly when she’s obtained a gun in her hand. The poster has unbelievable coloring to it, too, which performs off of the trailer fairly properly. Test it out:
Within the trailer that was launched in September, we noticed a well-recognized face straight away, Winston Scott (Ian McShane), who approaches a younger Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) and affords to convey her to a ballerina faculty. Besides these are not any unusual courses and shortly she is prepped with: “To cease the murderer, you need to turn into the murderer.” 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 wish 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 name the Baba Yaga. How do I begin doing what you do?”
Whereas we should wait till June sixth for Ballerina to hit theaters, all the pieces we’ve been given to this point ought to maintain us a minimum of for some time. Whereas the 4 John Wick films have simply marked themselves as a number of the finest motion films to return out of the century – with a lot holding the argument that it’s one of many best motion franchises ever – all of us obtained a bit of skeptical of the aim of increasing as soon as Peacock’s The Continental dissatisfied.
However primarily based on the supplies launched up so far, I’m anticipating wonderful 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 12 months’s John Wick 4, therefore the extra battered John Wick.
Along with Reeves and McShane, Ballerina can even convey again Anjelica Huston and the late Lance Reddick, with the movie marking his ultimate posthumous look. It is going to 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?
