The world of John Wick continues to expand in new and exciting ways. With two more sequels in development and a spinoff series starring Mel Gibson on the way, a previously announced spinoff is beginning to pick up steam as well. As first reported by Deadline, Knives Out star Ana De Armas is in talks to star in the new spinoff feature Ballerina.
Per the initial report, Armas would play a young female assassin seeking revenge against the people who killed her family. Previously, Full Circle Cinema reported that the spinoff was eyeing Tom & Jerry star Chloë Grace Moretz for its leading lady but it appears they are going in another direction.
