Ballerina The director Len Wiseman has rejected the statements that John Wick Film Franchise’s entry is a spin-off.
Speaking to Techradar before the movie launch, Wiseman argued that it should actually be called a “spin-on”, that is, a film that gives its own turn to the well-established formula of a film franchise.
Wiseman admits that very few people, if someone, will have heard the phrase “spinning” before. However, he insists that the film starring Ana de Armas is “totally connected” with the other tickets of the films series, and not only because Wick appears in it.
BallerinaThe first trailer lifted his eyebrows about Wick’s inclusion. After all, at the end of John Wick Chapter 4Keanu Reeves’s iconic Hitman was: Spoiler! – Alleged dead. With John Wick 5 However, in early development, the well -dressed murderer has not taken his last breath.

However, Ballerina It takes place between John Wick Chapter 3: Parabelo And his sequel, so the Reeves rental weapon is, at this point, in the John Wick’s timeline, still alive and kicking. For more information about this timeline, read my guide on how to watch John Wick’s movies in order.
But I’m going to leave. With Ballerina establish between Parabelo and John Wick Chapter 4More the participation of Reeves in its history, the last entry of the franchise should be seen as the newest film in the main series. It is for that reason that Wiseman has coined the nickname of “Spin-on” for one of the new 2025 films.
When I ask him if Ballerina It should be labeled as an “intermediate mile”, another term of the industry for a film that is established among two other films, Wiseman replied: “Yes, it is. I have seen people call it a spin-off, which is really misleading.
“Ballerina’s events are mainly parallel to John Wick Chapter 3: Parabelo. We are really building the world of John Wick, so it is more a ‘spin-on’ than a ‘spin-off’. I know it’s not a phrase, but it should be! “
He asked to explain how Ballerina Explore the series of colloquially known movies as ‘John Wick Universe’, Wiseman added: “One of the things that first attracted me to this film was the mythology of John Wick and how in layers it is.
“Here, we are able to deepen that myth and explore the Ruska Roma, whom we have met in previous films. Before, we have seen this group through the eyes of John Wick and his experiences [with them]. Now, we can examine the layers of your folklore and try to balance that with what was previously established. We have a lot of fun with that and I think the public will appreciate it. “
