The hyperlinks between John Wick and its Ana de Armas-starring spin-off Ballerina are rising nearer. Now, in response to The Hollywood Reporter, Anjelica Huston will present up within the new movie.

Huston, in fact, first confirmed up in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum as The Director, the top of the Ruska Roma crime group, to whom Keanu Reeves’ embattled hit man involves for assist.

The Director seems like a pure match for Ballerina, since she was proven as coaching younger feminine dancers with ache and struggling. And he or she suffers herself after serving to Wick and feeling the stabby wrath of the Excessive Desk.

“The concept of Ballerina was fashioned across the scenes with Anjelica in John Wick 3,” says producer Erica Lee. “Anjelica Huston is an icon and is nothing lower than Hollywood royalty. The world of Wick is at all times made richer by her commanding display screen presence.”

With Len Wiseman within the director’s chair and a script from Shay Hatten, Ballerina will see de Armas as a younger lady whose household is slain and who plots revenge. Reeves and Ian McShane are crossing over from the primary movie franchise for this spin-off, however the remainder of the solid for the movie — which is in manufacturing now – stays a thriller. And there isn’t any confirmed launch date but.
