Ana de Armas Hints Possible John Wick 5 Role Amid Franchise Development

Ana de Armas, star of the upcoming John Wick spin-off Ballerina, has expressed enthusiasm about the possibility of reprising her role as assassin Eve Macarro in John Wick 5. In interviews, she indicated that it would be "really cool" and made sense given the established connection between her character and Keanu Reeves' John Wick. Ballerina, set between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and Chapter 4, will feature a confrontation between Eve and John Wick, though Eve's fate remains uncertain. Despite the apparent death of John Wick in Chapter 4, Reeves is confirmed to return for Chapter 5, which is currently in development, though no release date has been announced. The inclusion of Eve in John Wick 5 would expand on the franchise's universe and potentially set up further storylines, aligning with producer Erica Lee's vision of giving Ana de Armas her own series of films. Other franchise veterans like Ian McShane are expected to possibly return, while the late Lance Reddick will not appear in the sequel.
