Sharon Duncan-Brewster, cast in the John Wick spinoff 'Ballerina,' initially knew little about the franchise. Her excitement increased after watching 'John Wick: Chapter 3.' Though her character, Nogi, doesn't fight, she received intensive combat training to embody her role as a mentor to Ana de Armas' character. Duncan-Brewster's dedication to learning martial arts highlights her commitment, as she aimed to fully understand the John Wick universe, demonstrating how preparation shaped her portrayal, even if her character’s fighting prowess isn’t displayed on screen.
I had stunt trainers teaching all sorts of moves and routines so that even though you don't see Nogi necessarily doing anything in this movie, we understand she knows what she's talking about.
I knew there's a bit of fighting and there's a bit of action and there's fast cars going on, but apart from that, all I knew was that it starred Keanu Reeves.
