The John Wick cinematic universe is about to expand in the best way!
After many rumours, John Wick is finally officially getting its first spin-off!
According to Deadline, Underworld’s Len Wiseman has signed on to direct the female-led Ballerina spin-off.
Back in 2017, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that a Ballerina script had made its way around. The script - written by then-23-year-old Shay Hatten; was described as “in the vein of La Femme Nikita, the 1990 female-centric assassin movie that helped launch the career of filmmaker Luc Besson, but with a more pulpy, hyper-stylized bent a la Quentin Tarantino or Matthew Vaughn.”
If you’re hoping for a movie that’s centered around Halle Berry’s character, Sofia, unfortunately, this isn’t that spin-off.

Deadline reports that the upcoming movie will be about “a young female assassin who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family,” presumably with John Wick’s signature style

Unfortunately, there’s not much else known about Ballerina including who will take on the kick-a** lead role.
Deadline does note however that the lead character has appeared in Parabellum before this. No word on if Keanu Reeves would be making a cameo in the movie either… But we’ll keep you updated.
Who do you think will be best to take on the lead role in Ballerina? Let us know in the comments!
