Ana de Armas Discusses the Challenges of Action in “Ballerina” During CinemaCon 2025
At the recent CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas, Ana de Armas, known for her role in “Ballerina,” participated in an exciting showcase at the John Wick experience located at the Continental Hotel. During the event, she shared insights into the demanding nature of her latest film project.
In a conversation with “Extra’s” Roqui Theus, Ana elaborated on the rigorous challenges she faced, particularly emphasizing the complexity of the fight sequences. She remarked, “Engaging in action scenes doesn’t feel instinctive to me. The fight choreography is incredibly intricate. Our goal was to create an authentic experience for the audience, making it seem as though I was performing the stunts myself. This required extensive preparation and harmonious coordination among the camera crew, stunt performers, and myself.”
Ana acknowledged the effort it took to achieve the right balance in the action scenes. “It definitely didn’t come easily,” she said. “After months of intense training and repetition, we managed to capture something that feels really powerful on screen when it all comes together.”
In addition to discussing her own experiences, Ana highlighted the role of Keanu Reeves, who not only serves as a mentor but also reprises his iconic character, John Wick, in “Ballerina.”
She expressed deep appreciation for the emotional depth embedded in the storyline and her character’s development, hinting at a unique perspective within the “John Wick” universe. “This film allows us to delve deeper into the world of the Ruska Roma, exploring their culture, the established rules, and the repercussions of breaking them,” she explained.
Ana’s character, in a significant narrative arc, chooses to defy warnings and pursue her objectives. “She takes risks despite the dangers,” Ana shared. “Her passion drives her on an unstoppable quest for revenge, and viewers will witness her compelling journey unfold.”
“Ballerina” is set to grace theaters on June 6, promising to deliver a fresh take on the beloved franchise.
