Ballerina will debut Ana de Armas as a hard-hitting assassin, and the trailers confirm she can hold her own in action sequences. Armas said she had to prove her mettle behind the scenes, giving due credit to the stunt team.

Ana de Armas was overwhelmed by Ballerina's flamethrower scene. She recalled declining practice runs before filming, confident she could do it; thankfully, the stunt crew insisted she test out the weapon just the same. "I remember the first day the stunt team was practicing with the fire, and they told me to go do it before the shoot, and I said, 'No, no, no, I'll be fine,'" she told Entertainment Weekly. "They got the main fire guy that gets burned, and he's all covered in this sticky grease or whatever they put for protection, and they're like, 'Okay, go ahead. Just burn him.'"

That seemed like a nonchalant...
