There’s a little bit of controversy surrounding the direction of the film. It’s been widely reported that Chad Stahelski came aboard to help with reshoots on the film. However, rumors have said that not only did the “John Wick” director help guide the shoots, but he actually directed them himself. Obviously, that’s not something the studio will confirm.  

“From the World of John Wick: Ballerina” arrives in theaters on June 6. You can watch the new featurette below.

Here’s the synopsis:

Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.
