John Wick's mark on action cinema cannot be understated – just look at the sheer number of clones that have come in the original's wake: Atomic Blonde, Nobody, Monkey Man, Bullet Train, more. Now, finally, an imitator set in the same universe, and with it comes a sense that we've seen this before. To quote another Keanu Reeves franchise: "Whoa. Déjà vu."
Ballerina (or From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, as it's being marketed) takes place between the third and fourth entries in the main series, meaning that – spoiler alert for John Wick: Chapter 4 – the Baba Yaga is still alive. Of course, this isn't Wick’s story, but there are many, many similarities between his tale and that of Ana de Armas' Eve Macarro.
