Will Ana de Armas' Ballerina get a sequel? Here's what we know about the future of John Wick spinoff so far
Ana de Armas stunned audiences with her fierce performance in Ballerina, the latest addition to the John Wick universe. The film, which premiered on June 6, 2025, follows Rooney, a young ballerina trained as an assassin, as she hunts down the people responsible for her family's murder.
Set between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the movie combines elegant choreography with brutal action and emotional depth, and fans are already wondering if there's more to come.
The director definitely left the door open
Director Len Wiseman has hinted that this might not be the last we see of Ana's Rooney. While speaking about the casting of Norman Reedus as the mysterious Daniel Pine in the new film, he shared that Pine's role was designed with future stories in mind. He admitted that although the main focus was on this film, the characters were created to have paths that could continue.
"I cast Norman Reedus because I have plans for him," Wiseman told Entertainment Weekly. "And I would love to see him come back in a way that he's now kind of indebted to her."
The producers are already thinking ahead
Even before the film's release, producer Erica Lee spoke about the potential for more. Back in 2023, she said they had already started discussing a follow-up and that Ana de Armas was expected to return. She called the early plans "hopeful" and hinted that Ballerina could become a key part of a larger universe that ties in with John Wick 5.
Ballerina's ties to the John Wick world
Ballerina is not just a side story. It takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 and features several familiar faces, including Keanu Reeves as Wick himself, Anjelica Huston, Lance Reddick, and Ian McShane. This direct connection to the main timeline makes the spinoff feel like part of something much bigger, not just a one-time detour.
So, is Ballerina 2 happening?
There's no official confirmation yet, but all signs point to yes. With the cast and crew already talking about continuing the story and the way the film fits into the larger John Wick world, it feels like Ballerina was built to be the start of something more.
Fans will just have to stay tuned. But if the excitement around the film is any clue, Rooney's story probably isn't over just yet.

This 1 hour 43 minutes film is ruling on OTT, climax will give younightmares, has no big actors, movie is..., lead actor is...
If you're a horror movie fan and looking for something bone-chillingly different this weekend, there's one film that deserves your attention — and your sleep. This movie doesn't just scare you while watching — it makes you afraid to fall asleep afterwards. Because the horror here begins inside your dreams . No big stars, no heavy promotions — just pure, unfiltered terror that's now taking OTT platforms by storm. We're talking about… We're talking about Insidious , the 2010 supernatural horror film directed by James Wan — a filmmaker known for redefining fear with eerie silence, dark suspense, and spirits that don't just haunt… they hunt . The film centres around the Lambert family and their son Dalton, who mysteriously falls into a coma. But this is no ordinary medical case — his soul is trapped in a sinister dimension known as The Further , a realm crawling with restless spirits desperate to take over his body. To rescue him, the family turns to a gifted paranormal expert, Elise Rainier. What unfolds is a terrifying journey through shadows, whispers, and the kind of imagery that stays with you long after the screen goes dark. From spine-tingling jump scares to skin-crawling tension, Insidious delivers horror that runs deep. It doesn't rely on gore — it plays with your mind. The cinematography and haunting background score are so powerful that even a quiet hallway or a creaking floorboard feels like a warning. What makes the film even more impressive is its success story. Made on a modest budget of $1.5 million (approx. Rs 12.5 crore), it went on to gross over $100 million (Rs 835 crore approx.), making it one of the biggest horror hits in its category. And now, over a decade later, it's finding new life and fresh fans on streaming platforms. The popularity of Insidious gave rise to a full-blown franchise, with sequels like Insidious: Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , The Last Key , and The Red Door . Each entry explores a new corner of The Further , offering fresh horrors for fans who dare to continue. Streaming on… If you're into psychological horror with a supernatural edge, Insidious is the perfect weekend pick. Available now on Netflix and Prime Video — but consider yourself warned: once you watch it, even your dreams won't feel safe.

James Gunn removes the controversial CGI shot from 'Superman'; admits to not look closely
James Gunn , the director of 'Superman,' admitted that he has removed the controversial CGI moment in the upcoming film that faced backlash from netizens on social media. While the 58-year-old has been extra online to engage with his audience, he revealed that he has removed the clip of David Corenswet that sparked negative buzz. James Gunn admits... The now-deleted clip refers to the shot where David Corenswet (Superman) is flying with a POV shot with a wide-angle lens that focuses solely on his face, which many netizens felt was gimmicky and unnecessary in the film. Moreover, the CGI felt incomplete, and the effects lacked finesse. In a conversation with Entertainment Weekly, James Gunn admitted, 'It was a photograph of his face and him flying.' 'It was a photograph of a drone flying in front of an actual background. So all the pieces were real, but it was incorporated in kind of a funky way. I didn't love the shot, so it's not even the shot that's in the movie,' he added. Many fans argued that the visuals seem to be an AI; however, Gunn clarified that he did not look closely for this shot, despite being strict for many shots. 'Sometimes I'm pretty strict about going through each shot in a trailer, but sometimes the commercials, I forget to look at as closely. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo So that one kind of got by me,' he said.
