Ana De Armas, the two-time Golden Globe nominee, recounts the intensity of starring in an action film with her Ballerina costar, Keanu Reeves.

Her portrayal of Monroe secured de Armas a second Golden Globe nomination, which she learned while on set for Ballerina, and the biopic briefly held the no.1 ranking as the most-watched film on Netflix. She spent two years learning a second language, and would later go on to star alongside Reeves in her first ever English-language film, Knock Knock, the 2015 thriller in which Reeves gives shelter to a couple of stranded females in a storm, only to discover that they have selected him as the victim of a deadly game. De Armas compared it to filming another role as an American spy working alongside another former costar, Daniel Craig, in the 2021 James Bond film No Time to Die.

She shares the difficulty of filming stunts, which often leave her “sore” and “bruised.” However, after her rehearsal with [the John Wick actor](https://screenrant.com/john-wick-ballerina-spinoff-keanu-reeves-returning/), she jokes that she “can’t complain anymore” because of the ease and professionalism he displays when doing his stunts. The script is penned by John Wick 3 and 4 writer Shay Hatten, along with Little else has been revealed about the story, but the story will undoubtedly be set within the constructs of the franchise’s unique criminal underworld — and the action sequences will be just as characteristically stylish and colorful. In addition to Armas’ Rooney and Reeves’ John Wick, Ballerina will feature other franchise characters like Winston Scott (Ian McShane), “The Director” (Anjelica Huston), and Charon (Lance Reddick).

Ballerina star Ana de Armas talks about the insane stunt work she is doing in the John Wick spinoff and how Keanu Reeves is helping motivate her.

So it wasn't surprising that a sequel was greenlit, and it was even less surprising that in 2017 it was announced that a spinoff film and television shows were in the works. The world of John Wick is the thing that everyone fell in love with on top of the fact that Reeves is the best at this. The Continental will focus on the hotel that plays a central part in the assassin world that John Wick moves in, and Ballerina will be something different. It's still a little amazing that John Wick, the action movie in 2014 where the only real notable thing about it was that they managed to snag Reeves as its leading man, has turned into the franchise juggernaut it is today. That means they can be hard to film, too, and star Ana de Armas is feeling the after-effects of all of that training. The John Wick spinoff film Ballerina is currently filming, and while we know some returning and new cast members, we don't know much about the story.
