Keanu Reeves Clariifies Involvement With Ballerina, Promises Spinoff Maintains the 'Spirit of John Wick'
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina might not be about the Baba Yaga, but Keanu Reeves enjoyed his time back on set.
"I just had like eight days on it, but it was fun to play the role again, and I'm excited for people to see the film," Reeves said at a screening of the upcoming John Wick documentary Wick is Pain, per THR. While his total screentime remains unknown, Reeves felt the spinoff retained "the spirit of John Wick and has new characters and opens up some stuff, so hopefully people like it," additionally praising lead actor -- and former Knock Knock co-star -- Ana de Armas for her performance as assassin Eva Macarro.
While Ballerina's first trailer saw Eve confront Wick about being like him, the latest trailer revealed that he will play a semi-antagonistic role, having been sent to prevent Eve from destabilizing the peace between crime bosses.
