Ballerina's first trailer has arrived to give us the first look at Ana de Armas in the hotly-anticipated John Wick spin-off.
Officially titled From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, the upcoming entry in the John Wick universe features de Armas as Eve Macarro who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
As the trailer reveals, she's out for revenge for whoever killed her father and her mission will bring her into contact with various John Wick favourites, including the Baba Yaga himself.
The trailer ends with their meeting as she asks for advice. "You're him, the one they call Baba Yaga. How do I start doing what you do?," Eve says, leading to John replying: "Looks like you already have."

The spinoff is directed by Underworld's Len Wiseman, with John Wick director Chad Stahelski working on additional action sequences during reshoots earlier this year.
John Wick Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 co-writer Shay Hatten wrote the script with Promising Young Woman's Emerald Fennell and Michael Finch.
Set between the events of the third and fourth movies, Ballerina also brings back Ian McShane as Winston and Lance Reddick as Charon in one of his final on-screen appearances following the actor's tragic death.

Last year, De Armas opened up about rehearsing a fighting sequence with Reeves, and recently called the spin-off "really exciting".
"It's dangerous, it's sexy, it's very John Wick," she said. "I think people are going to be surprised. I'm biased. Of course, I like the movie, but I think it's really cool. It's going to be amazing."
Ballerina arrives in cinemas on June 6, 2025.
