While Keanu Reeves takes a well-deserved break, keeping the universe of John Wick riddled with bullets is Ana de Armas in Ballerina. Ahead of the action flick’s CCXP presentation, Lionsgate has revealed a brand new photo along with a new poster of Armas’ Eve Macarro looking tattooed and badass in purple.
The poster doesn’t reveal much, but the words tattooed on Eve’s back mean something: “Lux In Tenebrus” translates to “light in darkness” in Latin, and given that Eve sets out on a path of vengeance following her family’s murder, it suggests the dark turn she has taken.
Here’s the synopsis: Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
The character Eve, also known as Rooney, was seen in John Wick: Chapter 3-Parabellum played by trained ballerina Unity Phelan.
The film also stars Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, the late Lance Reddick, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane and an appearance by Keanu Reeves. Len Wiseman directs from a screenplay by Shay Hatten. Chad Stahelski and Reeves are aboard as producers.
From the World of John Wick: Ballerina opens in theaters on June 6th 2025.
