Cuban actress Ana de Armas (James Bond’s “No Time To Die”) stars as a ballerina assassin, Eve Macarro, who trains as a killer in the traditions of the Ruska Roma, a crime syndicate that trained John Wick as a youth and helped him become the world’s most fearsome assassin.
After the murder of her father, Eve embarks on a vengeful quest to hunt down those who killed her family. As she hunts her prey, she comes face to face with John Wick who is sent to stop her.
In case you didn’t know, the character Eve originally appeared in “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum” where she was played by New York-based professional ballet dancer Unity Phelan. During Phelan’s brief scene in the movie, John Wick crosses paths with the Ballerina.
