Ballerina is a first movie under the franchise John Wick. The action film said to be packed with thrills and new direction is coming from the John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4 scribe Shay Hatten.
Discussions of the character Ballerina first appeared in a brief cameo in Chapter 3 in 2019. The film seems to want to expand the John Wick universe and add something new to that action while investigating more of its story. Ballerina is a spin-off, but it is still pretty closely related to the John Wick timeline. Among the big movies, John Wick stands out on its approach towards action and storytelling. It features simple, yet powerful plots that stick to the heart of the story. Ballerina aims to narrate an exciting story similar to the John Wick films. It stars the same people from the rest of the cinematic universe movies so should fit with the other franchise movies just fine.

What’s The Ballerina Position In The Timeline Of John Wick?
Ballerina would fall between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4.
The spin-off will continue nothing from the original movie but should help explain background facts and part of the incidents presented in Chapter 4. As the universe’s first-ever spinoff with John Wick, Ballerina may just pave the way for yet more stories and tales in the rapidly expanding movie world.
Ballerina storyline
Unlike movies with the movie character John Wick, Ballerina is set to be so straight-forward regarding action, in an almost no-stakes tale where it relates Eve, an exceptionally good and a renowned dance master, whom has now gone an assassin at war to payback people on murdering her loved family.
Rather than taking people by shock merely for the sake of the familiarity Ana de Armas is best suitable for Eve-acting the emotionally distressful elements portraying the heroine painful past with them. Writer Shay Hatten said that Ballerina will tell John Wick’s past differently. It is going to connect the spin-off to the larger franchise but at the same time, special. Although John Wick is not featured in the story, the connection with the larger universe ensures that the spin-off will feel important for the whole series.
