Oscar nominee Catalina Sandino Moreno (Best Actress, Maria Full of Grace) has joined the cast of Ballerina, a new addition to the John Wick franchise. Ana de Armas (Blonde, Knives Out) is starring in the spinoff which is set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4.

Keanu Reeves is expected to show up in a few scenes. John Wick veterans Anjelica Huston, Ian McShane, and Lance Reddick are also reprising their roles for the spinoff.

Filming is currently underway with Len Wiseman (the Underworld franchise, Live Free or Die Hard) directing from a script by Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3, Army of the Dead). Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Chad Stahelski are on board as producers.

“One of the challenges of casting Ballerina is making sure that the new roles are played by actors with as much power, emotional presence, and physical skill as Ana has. After working with Catalina on John Woo’s Silent Night, it was clear that she belonged at the top of our list, and it’s a thrill to be reuniting with her,” said producer Lee.

Ballerina follows Ana de Armas as a young assassin who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family. Lionsgate hasn’t announced how Catalina Sandino Moreno’s character plays into the story.

Sandino Moreno’s credits include Barbarians, The Affair, Room 104, and From.
