Ана де Армас розповіла про унікальність своєї героїні у спінофі «Джона Віка» / Rolling Stone
The actress emphasizes the differences between her character Eva Macarro and Keanu Reeves’ character.
«Ballerina» —, the fifth film in the «John Wick» — franchise, will be released in June 2025. Events unfold between the third and fourth installments of the series. The lead role is played by Ana de Armas, who plays a ballerina and experienced assassin seeking revenge for her family.
«In the movie, we see the backstory of the training through Eva’s eyes — how ballerinas become assassins. Some details are similar, but Eva Macarro — is Eva Macarro. She is not John Wick», — said actress during an interview with Collider.
The heroine’s fighting style was shaped by her past and de Armas’ acting skills.
«During training and rehearsals, we created fights that I was best at. I was good at kicking, which is natural for a ballerina. I was also good at close combat with knives,», — the actress shared.
Keanu Reeves will appear in the movie not as a cameo, but as a full-fledged character. The cast also includes Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, Anjelica Huston and other stars. The film is directed by Len Wiseman and executive produced by Chad Stagelski, who directed the original films.
