BALLERINA took over CCXP as the finale panel, and the crowd went wild! The film’s stars Ana de Armas, Ian McShane, Norman Reedus, and director Len Wiseman took on the iconic Thunder Stage tonight for an electric finale panel at CCXP, one of the world’s largest pop culture conventions. The cast and director celebrated the newest layer within the JOHN WICK franchise: BALLERINA.
The action-packed panel kicked off with a spectacular dance and stunt performance by local artists followed by a special conversation with the cast and director. Ana, Ian, Norman and Len were welcomed by a wildly enthusiastic crowd, with cheering fans holding up signs for the cast, and thunderous applause for the new footage. Ian also shared a moving tribute to his former co-star, Lance Reddick, who played Charon in the JOHN WICK franchise.
The crowd was also treated to a surprise pre-recorded greeting from Keanu Reeves and Producer Chad Stahelski.
Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
While in town, the BALLERINA cast celebrated Brazilian culture by visiting key landmarks including the famed Palmeiras Training Center and Football Academy, the leading futbol team in the country. They received their own personal jerseys and interacted with players. They also enjoyed a gastronomy tour of traditional Brazilian dishes at the renowned Figueira Rubaiyat restaurant.
To coincide with the panel, Lionsgate also released never-before-seen footage and three new images from the film.
BALLERINA will hit theaters on June 6, 2025!
