Lionsgate and Keanu Reeves’John Wickseries is use up its first adult leap forfranchisekindwith two spinoffs . One will be a TV show focused onthe Continentalthat ’s served as a base of operations for John and his foster dad Winston ( as played by Ian McShane ) , while the other is a film centered on ballerina assassinator . fitly titled Ballerina , this cinema is meant to stick to up on the coup d’oeil into the large assassinator world that John Wick : Chapter 3 briefly hinted at for a handful of scenes , with current It lady friend Ana de Armas in the lead character .

For a franchise that start off with one man getting pee off that someone shoot his dog , the accelerator for Ballerina ’s retaliation story ca n’t help but sound disappointingly generic in comparison .
