Ballerina is quickly becoming a full-on John Wick reunion. Lionsgate announced today that they’ve close a deal with Anjelica Huston to reprise her role as the Director in Ballerina.
Anjelica Huston’s character is the head of the Ruska Roma, and she first appeared in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. In a statement, John Wick producer Erica Lee said: “The idea of Ballerina was formed around the scenes with Anjelica in John Wick 3. Anjelica Huston is an icon and is nothing less than Hollywood royalty. The world of Wick is always made richer by her commanding screen presence.” Production on Ballerina is currently underway, with Len Wiseman directing from a script by Shay Hatten. As I mentioned above, Anjelica Huston isn’t the only member of the John Wick universe set to appear in Ballerina. Ian McShane is set to return as Winston, the owner of the Continental Hotel, and it’s said that Keanu Reeves has also been tapped to appear as John Wick.
More to come…
