'She's now in a place where John Wick was': Ana de Armas teases Eve Macarro's future post-Ballerina
Published in Entertainment News
Ana de Armas has teased Eve Macarro will share John Wick's story after 'Ballerina'.
The 37-year-old actress stars as the titular assassin in the upcoming 'John Wick' spin-off movie, and has now hinted Eve will be in a similar, dangerous position to Keanu Reeves' hitman following the events of the film.
Speaking with Screen Rant, de Armas said: "I think that there's going to be a few things to resolve after this one.
"Clearly she will have some people coming after her for what she's done. She's now in a place where John Wick was.
"She's the one being hunted and people want her dead. After wanting to get in so badly, I want to see her handling a good situation."
The 'Knives Out' star added Eve will have "nowhere to hide" after 'Ballerina', and hinted other Ruska Roma members may be coming after her following the events of the film.
She continued: "I want to see how she deals with that, having nowhere to hide.
"Probably some other family members will come after her that she doesn't know, so we'll see. Really, this could go anywhere and I'm sure it will be really exciting."
'Ballerina' - which also stars Ian McShane, Norman Reedus, Lorenza Izzo and the late Lance Reddick - follows Eve as she begins her training in the assassin tradition of the Ruska Roma.
While de Armas is enthused to become an action star of her own, the actress insisted Eve was not simply a gender-swapped version of John Wick.
She explained to Collider: "I think there are some trademarks in the style of the fights in John Wick, and things that he does that are very particular to him.
"But because in this movie we're seeing through Eve's eyes the background of that training that John had, and how these assassins and ballerinas, how these people become these assassins, there are some little details that are the same, but Eve Macarro is Eve Macarro. She's not John Wick!"
Meanwhile, Reeves - who will cameo in 'Ballerina' as his famed assassin - teased he was "excited for people to see" the movie and de Armas as the leading star.
Speaking at a screening of the 'Wick is Pain' documentary in Santa Monica, he said: "I don't do stunts, I do action. It was really cool to have a chance to put the suit on.
"I've worked with Ana a couple of times and she's a wonderful artist, and she committed to the action.
"I just had like eight days on it, but it was fun to play the role again and I'm excited for people to see the film. It's in the spirit of 'John Wick' and has new characters and opens up some stuff, so hopefully people like it."
