While many fans will be aware of the news that John Wick 4 will hit cinemas in 2023, the wildly popular franchise's announced spinoff has somehow flown under the radar.

Ana de Armas has been announced to be starring in Ballerina, a spinoff movie set in the same universe. Thankfully, no traumatic puppy murders have been discussed as of this point in time, and Ballerina will instead focus on a young woman out to avenge the death of her family.

A female take on John Wick is an intriguing concept, and producers couldn't have picked a better actress to take on the role. Ana de Armas, fresh off her roles in Knives Out, No Time to Die, and Blonde, is one of the hottest properties in Hollywood right now, and it will be fascinating to see how the Cuban-Spanish actress will bring her version of a neo-noir assassin to life.

It's early days though. Ballerina has not even begun filming, and De Armas' protagonist could take the franchise in an entirely different direction, far away from the High Table and the Continental Hotel. The lack of detail and clarity surrounding the production only adds to the film's air of mystique, and when one considers the rampant success of Keanu Reeves' indestructible assassin, hopes are high for whenever this spinoff debuts.
