Keanu Reeves Is Now in Talks to Join the JOHN WICK Spinoff Film BALLERINA
Earlier today we learned that the John Wick spinoff film Ballerina has started production with Ana de Armas in the lead role. It was also announced that Ian McShane was set to reprise his role as Winston, the manager of The Continental Hotel.
We’re now learning that Keanu Reeves is also in talks to join the film, and he’s currently in negotiations to return as John Wick. It’s safe to say that he’ll end up closing the deal and showing up in the movie, but there’s no word on how big of a role he’ll play in the movie.
In the movie, “a young female assassin (De Armas) seeks revenge against the people who killed her family — as Wick has against those who have done him wrong.”
Len Wiseman is directing Ballerina from a script written by Shay Hatten, which was punched up by Promising Young Woman writer Emerald Fennell. The producers are Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Chad Stahelski.
Reeves will next appear as John Wick in John Wick: Chapter 4, which is set to be released in theaters on March 23rd, 2023. The actor also recently signed on to star in a Constantine sequel at Warner Bros. that will reteam him with director Francis Lawrence, as we told you first.
