"Ballerina," the first spin-off in the "John Wick" franchise, raises questions about the series' future without its star Keanu Reeves and series director Chad Stahelski. While Reeves appears in a limited role, his presence underscores the narrative's dependence on the intricate criminal underworld that characterizes the franchise. The film attempts to echo the signature action style of the series, thanks in part to Stahelski's influence on choreography, though it remains unclear if it can fully hold its own without him at the helm.
With that in mind, perhaps the more pressing question that "Ballerina" exists to put forward is this: Can the world of John Wick survive without series director Chad Stahelski?
On the other hand, the actor's ornamental presence here emphasizes the extent to which his character had been subsumed into the ridiculously elaborate – and elaborately ridiculous – criminal underworld.
