If the primary theatrical John Wick spinoff was amongst your most anticipated films of 2024, you will be sadder as we speak. Ballerina has danced into summer season 2025 so as to permit its motion sequences to be beefed up a bit.
The long-in-the-works motion flick had Ana de Armas (of 007 and Knives Out fame) locked in to star for a really very very long time earlier than discovering its director in Len Wiseman (Underworld, Stay Free or Die Arduous), who’s as protected as you possibly can go along with a gritty motion filmmaker. Properly, based on Deadline, he perhaps wasn’t one of the best man for the job.
Wiseman actually is an efficient director for any studio seeking to rush one thing out of the door and wow the extra informal audiences, nevertheless it looks like producer expectations are understandably excessive after the big success of the fourth John Wick film final yr. This has made Lionsgate, the principle studio behind the hit franchise, push Ballerina to June 6, 2025 launch date, as a substitute of the beforehand deliberate arrival time of June 7, 2024.
Deadline provides that John Wick franchise overlord Chad Stahelski, who’s seeking to direct a Highlander reboot and a Ghost of Tsushima adaptation subsequent, has been planning main reshoots and extra motion scenes alongside Wiseman. That is certainly for one of the best.
Ballerina’s former summer season 2024 slot hasn’t been left open, because the seemingly cursed (however now practically completed) reboot of The Crow, starring everybody’s favourite sicko Invoice Skarsgård, can be opening now on June 7 as a substitute.
