The John Wick spin-off Ballerina has taken the internet by storm, going viral for its explosive action and Ana de Armas’ standout performance as Eve Macarro, a ballerina-assassin. Directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatten, the film delivers the franchise’s signature gun-fu and creative fight choreography, including flamethrower battles and ice-pick showdowns. Despite a slow start and a $109.6M global box office on a $90M budget, critics praise its thrilling second half and de Armas’ fierce yet flawed lead. Set in the Wick universe, it expands the Ruska Roma lore but keeps the plot simple: revenge. With reshoots tightening the pacing, Ballerina is a stylish, action-packed addition, teasing future sequels. Catch it in theaters or on PVOD now
