Ana de Armas and Keanu Reeves have starred in the first trailer for a new John Wick spin-off titled Ballerina.

The movie sees Reeves return in the role of John Wick, and he will be joined by the similarly returning Ian McShane, Lance Reddick, and Anjelica Huston.

De Armas will be the star of the film.

The film will be the last of Lance Reddick's career, as the beloved actor tragically died in 2023 at just 60 years old.

A teaser was released yesterday ahead of the trailer, which hinted towards the vibe of the film.

With 'Fur Elise' by Beethoven playing, it hints to de Armas' role as Eve, aka The Ballerina.

The film was directed by Len Wiseman, who directed several of the Underworld films.

It sees De Armas star as an assassin whose family are taken from her in a John-Wick-esque revenge tour.

One fan on Twitter was hyped for her role as the assassin action star due to her previous performance in No Time To Die.

They replied to the trailer saying: "Ana de Armas was in ‘NO TIME TO DIE’ for 5 mins and stole the show.

"So glad she’s finally getting her own action film."

Another reply said: "Looks so good. Hyped to be back in the John Wick universe again."

A third reply said: "Yeah, I’ll be seated on opening night."

The trailer reveals that the official name is The World of John Wick: Ballerina.

One fan on Reddit noticed that the official John Wick account on Twitter got changed to 'The World of John Wick', pointing to the spin-offs planned for the film series.

As well as Ballerina, it was announced that a TV series called The Continental was in the works.

With the role being the last of Lance Reddick's career, film fans will be heartbroken to see the legendary actor appearing for a final time.

Reddick died last year was announced by a coroner to have been because of heart disease.

This, however, was disputed by his family, who pointed to his physical fitness.

John Wick co-star Keanu Reeves paid tribute to the late great actor, saying: "We worked together on four films over ten years.

"He was a remarkable artist and a special person with grace and dignity.

"I guess what comes to mind right now is the first time that I met him and we worked together on John Wick, he had this idea for the way that he wanted the character to speak and just his enthusiasm and passion.

"The way that he and I got to work and kind of speak the unspoken, that connection. It's just really cool."
