- Ballerina: From John Wick’s world Should not be called a spin-off, says its instructor
- The film series latest post is set between the third and fourth John Wick movie
- It “expands the mythology” of the action -Thriller -franchis, he adds
Ballerina Director Len Wiseman has rejected claims that John Wick Film Franchise’s latest post is a spin-off.
In a speech with Techradar prior to the film’s release, Wiseman claimed it should actually be called a “spin-on” DVS. A movie that puts its own spin on a film franchise’s well -established formula.
Wiseman admits that very few people, if anyone, will have heard the term “spin-on” before. Nevertheless, he insists that Ana De Armas-Star film is “fully connected” to the film series’ Other poster and not only because wick appears in it.
Ballerina‘s first trailer raised the eyebrows about wicks inclusion. After all, at the end of John Wick Chapter 4Keanu Reeves’ iconic Hitman was – Spoiler! – Presumed death. With John Wick 5 In early development, however, it is likely that the well -dressed assassin has not taken his last breath.

However, Ballerina taking place between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum And its successor why Reeves’ gun-to-rent is at this time on the John Wick-Tidslinjen, still alive and kicking. For more about the mentioned timeline, read my guide on how to watch the John Wick movies in order.
But I get off-track. With Ballerina set between Parabellum and John Wick Chapter 4Plus Reeves ‘commitment to its history, the franchise’s latest post must be seen as the Mainline series’ latest flick. That’s why Wiseman has invented “Spin-on” moniker for one of 2025’s highly expected new films.
When I ask him, about Ballerina Should be labeled as a “middle quantity”-another industry designation for a movie that has been set between two other movie-answered Wiseman: “Yes, it’s. I’ve seen people call it a spin-off that is really misleading.
“Ballerina’s events mostly run parallel to John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum. We really build out of John Wick’s world, so it’s more a ‘spin-on’ than a ‘spin-off’. I know it’s not a sentence but it should be! “
Asked to explain how Ballerina Exploring the Series series series, known as ‘John Wick universe’, Wiseman added: “One of the things that first attracted me to this movie was the mythology of John Wick and how layered it is.
“Here we are able to dive deeper into that mytos and explore Ruska Roma that we have met in previous films. Before we have seen this group through John Wick’s eyes and his experiences [with them]. Now we are going to silence through the layers of their folklore and try to balance it with what was previously established. We had lots of fun with it and I think the audience will appreciate it. “
Ballerina: From John Wick’s world Lands in theaters all over the world on June 6th.
