Lionsgate has introduced that Anjelica Huston, who debuted as crime lord The Director in ‘John Wick: Chapter Three – Parabellum’, may even present up in ‘Ballerina.’
This is smart, since The Director, who’s the top of the Ruska Roma crime group, is seen in that third film coaching up younger feminine ballerinas with some very harsh methods. And she additionally oversees the coaching of male orphans as assassins.
It’s to the Director that Keanu Reeves’ embattled hit man involves for assist, although her help prices her when the High Table – controllers of crime within the ‘Wick’ world – determine to punish her giving some who’s excommunicado by stabbing her within the fingers. No one says they’re not literal on the subject of tough justice.

There is, after all, no details about what Wick may be doing within the film (moreover kicking, punching and capturing individuals, we will solely assume), or how huge his involvement will likely be past a possible cameo, since that is actually meant to deal with de Armas’ character.
‘Ballerina’ will comply with the Ballerina character glimpsed briefly (and there performed by Unity Phelan) in ‘Parabellum’ and tracks a younger murderer who seeks revenge towards the individuals who killed her household. Which does really feel apt for one thing set in John Wick’s world.
“We’re thrilled to have Ian McShane joining us for a pivotal role in ‘Ballerina’, says producer Basil Iwanyk. “He’s been such an integral part of the franchise since the original John Wick. It’s been fun to have him on this journey as the Wick universe expands.”
