Lionsgate CEO Joe Drake announcedthat a spin-off of John Wick called The Ballerina will be released in the spring or summer of 2024.
Ana de Armas will play the lead role in this film. She will play a killer who wants to take revenge on those responsible for the death of her family. Events will unfold between the third and fourth franchise film. John himself (Keanu Reeves) will also appear on the screen.
Ian McShane, Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston and Catalina Sandino Moreno will also star in Ballerina. Directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld).
The second John Wick spin-off titled The Continental will take place in New York in the 1970s, 40 years before the first film in the franchise. The plot will focus on the young Winston and Charon, who started out as hired killers, but later decided to open the same hotel.
It will be a mini-series of three episodes of 90 minutes. The main characters will be played by Colin Woodell and Ayomide Adeghan. The show starts in September on Peacock streaming.
Joe Drake also hinted that he would like to see new projects with John Wick. "We're not ready to say goodbye to Keanu and this franchise," added the head of Lionsgate. This means that both new spin-offs and, for example, the backstory of Baba Yaga may appear.
