IGN can exclusively reveal 12 new character posters for Ballerina, Lionsgate’s upcoming action-thriller set in the John Wick universe.
The posters – which feature stars Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves and more – can be viewed by scrolling through the slideshow gallery below.
“Ballerina takes place in the John Wick world after the end of John Wick Chapter 3 and before the start of John Wick Chapter 4,” John Wick star Keanu Reeves recently told IGN. “It was so great to have the chance to play John Wick again and discover more of the John Wick world.”
While the trailers and some recent interviews have shed light on the plot of Ballerina, there was much that wasn’t known about many of the new characters – until now.
Along with the exclusive posters, we can also reveal the following official character descriptions:
Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas)
Orphaned after her father’s murder, young Eve is taken to the Ruska Roma Ballet School, where she receives training in the art of combat. Her lessons turn her into a lethal assassin – and a formidable agent of revenge.
John Wick (Keanu Reeves)
The titular character in the John Wick Universe. John Wick first crosses paths with Eve during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
Daniel Pine (Norman Reedus)
A new face in the Wick World, Daniel Pine is a figure steeped in mystery. A fateful meeting with Eve and Pine at the Prague Continental sets off an explosive chain of events.
The Director (Anjelica Huston)
The formidable leader of the Ruska Roma who runs the infamous ballet school that doubles as a fearsome assassin training ground. To Eve, the Director is a surrogate mother whose lessons are as unforgiving as the assassin world she must survive.
Winston (Ian McShane)
The iconic manager of the New York Continental. It was Winston who first delivered the young, orphaned Eve into the hands of The Director, arming her with both training at the Ruska Roma Ballet School and a gold coin that would later guide her search for the truth.
Charon (Lance Reddick)
The famously stoic concierge of the New York Continental, and Winston’s right-hand man. Charon provides various services to the assassins who stay at the hotel.
The Chancellor (Gabriel Byrne)
Brutal and domineering, the Chancellor leads an army of cult-like killers. He rules a community of assassins in the Austrian mountains with an iron grip.
Lena (Catalina Sandino Moreno)
Lena is an enigmatic character who reveals herself at the Prague Continental. Coldblooded and businesslike, Lena is part of the Chancellor’s cult of assassins.
Nogi (Sharon Duncan-Brewster)
Nogi is an instructor at the Ruska Roma Ballet School. Fierce yet thoughtful, Nogi shows Eve the ways of an assassin. She teaches Eve to turn her weaknesses into her deadliest weapons.
Dex (Robert Maaser)
Dex is part of the Chancellor’s cult of assassins, a loyal soldier who engages in an epic flamethrower battle with Eve.
Javier (David Casteñeda)
Eve’s father, Javier, saved Eve from certain death when he put up a heroic fight against a squad of assassins sent to kill them both.
Katla Park (Choi Soo-young)
The daughter of the Ruska Roma’s colleague Il Seong. Eve’s first field mission is to protect Katla Park at the lavish Minus Eleven club.
Ballerina is the first movie in the John Wick franchise to not be directed by Chad Stahelski, with Len Wiseman (the Underworld series, Live Free or Die Hard) stepping behind the camera this time. Check out what Wiseman and de Armas had to tell us about Ballerina at CCXP 2024.
Ballerina hits theaters June 6th.
