'It still solves some of the answers of Wick, just through the eyes of a new character.'
The clandestine, action-packed world of John Wick is set for an expansion in a couple of days as John Wick: Chapter 4 opens in theaters this Friday. This criminal underworld is set to have a new light shone on its deeds as a new spinoff, Ballerina, anchored around a new character is in development. Just like Wick, this new character, Rooney has a thirst for vengeance and is ready to go to any lengths to satisfy it after her family is murdered.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY "Ballerina has just been a completely fascinating journey for me overall because it started as a spec that was not related to the John Wick movies six years ago. And then just kind of got brought in and then Chad was kind enough to let us kind of set it up in three by showing the ballet theater. And by nature of that, it kind of teed up this story really well.
The original script was set [in the] Swiss Alps, which is territory that the John Wick movies have not touched. So, I think in a great way, it meant that we could kind of stick to the original story of that script from Ballerina without stepping on the toes of John Wick. But also it's a character who we know went to the same ballet academy as John.
