As a gamer with a soft spot for the John Wick universe and a deep appreciation for the late, great Lance Reddick, I can’t help but feel a rollercoaster of emotions upon seeing the first trailer for Ballerina. The action-packed world of John Wick has always been captivating, but the addition of Lance Reddick in one of his final roles is nothing short of bittersweet.


The first trailer for John Wick spinoff flick Ballerina is leaving fans both excited and emotional thanks to a cameo from the late great Lance Reddick.

The dynamic and thrilling world of John Wick gets a chance to dazzle us further, as the long-awaited trailer for the film titled “Ballerina” has been released online at last.

In this revamped version, Ana De Armas leads the action-packed film where we see a girl raised as an orphan join a covert group of assassins. Her training is rigorous, aiming to make her as lethal as John Wick (portrayed by Keanu Reeves). Interestingly, her character crosses paths with John Wick in the movie itself.

A short conversation between the two characters in the trailer has already set Twitter ablaze with reactions… but that’s not the only thing that’s making viewers misty-eyed.

As a die-hard fan, I’m deeply moved to acknowledge that this production serves as the swan song of the incredible talent that was Michael K. Williams, following his memorable performances in White Men Can’t Jump, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and Horizon Forbidden West – Burning Shores, where he brought the cherished character Sylens to life within the game.

In recognition of his achievements, Reddick has also been honored within the game with a unique tribute. Previous rumors suggested that he might feature in the film “Ballerina,” but it seems fans will instead witness him act again in one of Hollywood’s most eagerly awaited action movies this year.
