According to a report in the online portal Collider, Keanu also revealed what can fans expect from the new addition in the spinoff. He added that Ana de Armas will be playing a “woman who has some very difficult circumstances and who’s looking for revenge.” He further said, “Whoever killed her- someone killed her father. Who could that be? And so it’s her journey for actually understanding her past. She lost her father at a young age, and she doesn’t really know what happened. Only that someone came into the house and killed her father, who had a tattoo.” Keanu concluded by saying, “And as we know in John Wick, if you have a tattoo, something’s going on.”

The John Wick franchise is all set to release the next film in 2023, with John Wick: Chapter 4 coming out next March. Although an official release date has not yet been disclosed, the subsequent spinoff film, Ballerina, is set for release later during the year.
