Trailer description from The Wrap's Kristen Lopez:
An early trailer shows Rooney, a ballerina who trains at an all-girl assassin school to master her skills and avenge the murder of her family. She is described as “the new face of revenge.”
The trailer features the smoothly shot and ultra-violent action scenes that people have come to expect from “John Wick“, set against a backdrop of cold, snowy terrain and coldly lit basements.
Variety's Brent Lang also talks about Reeves' return to the film in a scene from the trailer:
“How can I start doing what you do?” de Armas asks the legendary killer. “It looks like you’ve already done it,” Reeves remarks wryly.
The lucky ones who managed to get acquainted with the promotional materials of this action film note that “Ballerina” will be “extremely cruel” and the main character will demonstrate a wild cocktail of MMA, kung fu and ballet.
So far, this seems to be all that is known about this project. It is unclear when the above-mentioned trailer will be shown to a wider audience, but for now we can watch the fan trailer:
