A fight sequence between Ian McShane’s character Winston and Ana de Armas’ character Eve Macarro is removed in Ballerina, and McShane is not pleased about it. The planned spinoff, which is set between John Wick 3 and 4, will feature Keanu Reeves again after de Armas’ assassin, a girl who saw her father die and joined the underground community. The Director (Anjelica Huston) and Charon (Lance Reddick), who are both well-known, will also appear in the film, which opens in theaters on June 6, 2025.

In an interview with Collider, de Armas and McShane reveal a cut scene between Eve and Winston that won’t be in the final movie. When asked what their favorite scenes are, de Armas shares that she likes the “grenade fight,” which is “long distance” but gets “intimate and nasty.” McShane mentions that Eve tries to start a fight with Winston at the Continental, and he’s “furious” that one of the scenes isn’t in the final movie. The actor reveals that it’s “a fight scene with dialogue,” where Eve tries to “get information” from Winston, and the end result is a realization.
