“Ballerina” is directed by Len Wiseman, who originally shot the film in late 2022. However, the film was delayed for several years and underwent significant reshoots in 2024, which were overseen by “John Wick” franchise stalwart Chad Stahelski.

Directed by Len Wiseman, Ballerina takes place between John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and John Wick: Chapter 4, which explains why Reeves is reprising his trademark role in the film. Ballerina also features roles for other key characters from the John Wick franchise,
