WARNIING: This article contains SPOILERS for From the World of John Wick: Ballerina.From the World of John Wick: Ballerina continued the titular franchise's history of presenting spectacular and creative action sequences on the big screen. Instead of following Keanu Reeves' John Wick, 2025's Ballerina focuses on Ana de Armas' young "Kikimora", Eve, as she rises to become a contract killer and takes on a cult of assassins to avenge her father's murder. The new movie is set in between the events of the third and fourth John Wick movies.

The John Wickfranchise takes place in a world teeming with assassins, but one character has always seemed unnecessary. The future of the John Wick franchise looks set up to introduce even more characters, starting with Ana de Armas' Eve in Ballerina. Aside from John himself, there have been dozens of great characters introduced in the four movies already, even those who only appear in a single chapter. Characters like Sofia, Caine and Zero help to expand the world of John Wick, but other characters are a little more confusing.

Ballerina now ties for a Rotten Tomatoes record with another John Wick movie. Ana de Armas leads the franchise's first movie spinoff, with her character Eve Macarro seeking revenge against an unorthodox organization, Cult. Although the spinoff faced several delays and reported reshoots, it finally made its way to theaters, with critical reception trending generally positive. ScreenRant's Rachel Labonte gave Ballerina a 6 out of 10 stars, praising de Armas' performance while noting issues with the plot and silly villain. Overall, the spinoff has a 71% on Rotten Tomatoes, and it's the lowest among the whole John Wick movie franchise.

In classic John Wick fashion, Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro takes on many, many enemies in Ballerina. Most of these enemies are part of a group referred to as the Cult, which has a unique relationship with the families that serve under the High Table. By the end of Ballerina, Eve actually needs John Wick's help to successfully complete her revenge mission. Eve's struggles in the movie set it apart from the other John Wick films, as she is clearly not as skilled as Keanu Reeves' iconic character.
