A teaser poster and featurette for subsequent yr’s Ballerina, which serves as a midquel spin-off of the John Wick franchise, has arrived.
Lionsgate is bringing gentle 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 remainder: Lux in Tenebris, which is Latin for Mild in Darkness. Which may really feel just a little on the nostril, nevertheless it does give us a greater glimpse into her psyche – particularly when she’s acquired a gun in her hand. The poster has unimaginable coloring to it, too, which performs off of the trailer fairly properly. Test it out:
In the trailer that was launched in September, we noticed a well-recognized face instantly, Winston Scott (Ian McShane), who approaches a younger Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) and provides to carry her to a ballerina college. Besides these are not any abnormal lessons and shortly she is prepped with: “To cease the murderer, you have to develop 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 a substitute 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 not less than for some time. Whereas the 4 John Wick films have simply marked themselves as a number of the greatest motion films to return out of the century – with lots holding the argument that it’s one of many most interesting motion franchises ever – all of us acquired just a little skeptical of the aim of increasing as soon as Peacock’s The Continental disenchanted.
However primarily based on the supplies launched up up to now, I’m anticipating wonderful issues that match properly 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 yr’s John Wick 4, therefore the extra battered John Wick.
Along with Reeves and McShane, Ballerina will even carry again Anjelica Huston and the late Lance Reddick, with the movie marking his ultimate posthumous look. It can additionally introduce Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus and Catalina Sandino Moreno into the combo.
Are you wanting ahead to Ballerina? The place do you see the John Wick franchise going from right here?
