Emerald Fennell to punch up the script for Ana de Armas John Wick spin-off Ballerina

July 16, 2022 by Matt Rodgers

Following her scene-stealing turn in No Time to Die the idea of watching Ana De Armas as a revenge seeking assassin should be enough to guarantee interest in John Wick spin-off Ballerina. Yet now we get the equally exciting news that Promising Young Woman‘s Emerald Fennell has been hired to help write the script for the Len Wiseman directed film. 

During an interview with Elle Magazine, Armas revealed how she had been involved in hiring a female writer for Ballerina, which thus far had been scripted by John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum’s Shay Hatten, and turned towards Fennell, who won the 2020 Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.

Armas said “It was really important for me to hire a female writer, because to that point when I got involved in the project, it was only the director, Len Wiseman, and another guy. And I was like, ‘That’s not going to work.’ So I interviewed, like, five or six female writers. We hired Emerald Fennell, which I was so proud of.”

Ballerina focuses on “a young female assassin (played by Armas) who seeks revenge against the people who killed her family.” Her character will graduate from the Ballet school seen in John Wick: Chapter 3 – which is run by Angelica Huston’s Director who trains the young women to be assassins and makes them endure massive amounts of pain in their training.

Lionsgate have big plans for their John Wick extended universe, because not only do they have Ballerina dancing into cinemas and John Wick: Chapter 4 scheduled for March 2023, but they’ve also teamed with Starz to develop the upcoming limited series The Continental.

Next up for Armas is the much ballyhooed Netflix action film The Gray Man, followed by Andrew Dominik’s Marilyn Monroe biopic Blonde. Emerald Fennell is currently filming Greta Gerwig’s Barbie alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling.
