Last night, the heart of London’s Leicester Square transformed into a scene of high-octane glamour as Lionsgate hosted the World Premiere of BALLERINA at Cineworld. The highly anticipated action thriller, a spin-off from the John Wick universe, rolled out the red carpet for its stellar cast, creators, and a slew of special guests.
Ana de Armas led the night’s festivities alongside Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, Norman Reedus, Catalina Sandino Moreno, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, Ava McCarthy, Victoria Comte, and Robert Maaser. They were joined by director Len Wiseman, producers Chad Stahelski, Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and screenwriter Shay Hatten, all of whom helped bring this bold new chapter to life.
Adding to the excitement, beloved actors Pedro Pascal, Kit Harington, and Donnie Yen—who portrayed Caine in John Wick: Chapter 4—were also in attendance, lending their support to the film and its expanding universe.
In a nod to its digital-age audience, TikTok livestreamed the red carpet, offering fans a front-row view of the night’s glamour. The platform also announced a new feature allowing users to purchase BALLERINA tickets directly within the app. The exclusive ticket package includes a collectible Continental Hotel coin, an exclusive Fandango poster, and a commemorative physical ticket—ideal for fans of the franchise.
As the premiere crowd filled the theater, Ana de Armas took the stage to personally introduce the film. She paid tribute to her co-star, saying, “There wouldn’t be a BALLERINA without a JOHN WICK,” acknowledging the film’s roots and the legacy built by Keanu Reeves’ iconic assassin.
With its star power, emotional moments, and digital-first innovations, the BALLERINA premiere marked not just a film debut, but the evolution of a cinematic universe fans can’t get enough of.
