‘Ballerina’ – Anjelica Huston Will Return for ‘John Wick’ Spinoff Movie
The John Wick Cinematic Universe is getting its first spinoff movie with Ballerina, and THR lets us know tonight that Chapter 3 star Anjelica Huston will be back for the spinoff.
Angelica Huston played The Director in John Wick: Chapter 3, the head of the Ruska Roma crime organization who trains both assassins and ballerinas.
Ana de Armas is leading the cast of Ballerina, and we recently learned that both Ian McShane and Keanu Reeves will be appearing in the movie in some capacity.
Len Wiseman (Underworld, “Swamp Thing”) is directing the spinoff film, now in production. Shay Hatten (John Wick: Chapter 3) wrote the new movie’s script.
“Ballerina focuses on a young female assassin who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family.”
John Wick: Chapter 4, meanwhile, will release on March 24, 2023.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
