John Wick: Ballerina Releases First Full Trailer

Is the Ballerina gonna fight or collab with John Wick eventually? I mean, they live in the same universe, right? I’ve been wondering the same thing ever since I heard about this movie. It’s a cool concept to have Eve Macarro’s story take place within the same timeline as John Wick: Parabellum, but does that mean we’ll see her cross paths with him in a big way? Sure, there’s that cameo from Keanu Reeves, but is it just a brief interaction, or will their stories become more intertwined as the Ballerina series (if they make more) goes on?

Considering how skilled both characters are, it could go either way. They could team up against a bigger threat, which would be epic to watch, or maybe they’ll end up on opposite sides at some point, which would be an insane battle. Either option has a ton of potential, especially with the way the John Wick universe tends to weave characters in and out of the story. I’m hoping we get a solid answer, but if not in Ballerina, maybe in a future installment. It feels like there’s way too much potential here to just leave it hanging, you know

Keanu’s definitely only in one scene, but they’re going to milk that one moment for all it’s worth! I can already see them using his face all over the promotional materials just to get people in the seats. It makes sense, though—he’s a huge draw. But let’s be real, this is Eve’s story, not John’s.

If you pay attention to the trailer, you’ll notice something interesting. This actually takes place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. One dead giveaway is the cuts on John’s face in the scene where he’s talking to Eve. They match up perfectly with the wounds he had in Parabellum during his visit to Angelica Huston’s character. In fact, if you look closely, there’s a scene in the trailer where John is standing with Angelica Huston’s character, the Director, and that’s literally a replay of a moment from John Wick 3, but from a totally new angle. It’s pretty clever, actually—almost like we’re seeing what else was happening while John was off doing his thing in the same timeline.

I’m guessing that the film will weave its own narrative in and out of the events of Parabellum, and that’s a cool idea in itself. But yeah, don’t be fooled into thinking Keanu’s going to have a big role here. They’ll probably pump his scene up to make it seem like he’s all over the movie, when in reality, it’ll just be a quick cameo. Still, it’s a smart move to hook audiences with his appearance, even if the main focus will be Eve and her revenge mission.
