Ballerina looks so much like a John Wick movie because it (mostly) came from the same director. Chad Stahelski had to reshoot most of Ballerina after Len Wiseman's version didn't meet expectations. This project carries the weight of bridging the narrative between John Wick 3 and 4, making the stakes particularly high. A source stressed that they can't have a failure in anything Wick-related, signifying the intense scrutiny and pressure surrounding Ballerina's release.
The John Wick universe is expanding, with Ballerina aiming to stand on its own while navigating a post-John Wick landscape. The franchise is currently at a crossroads, especially after the mixed reviews for The Continental. Critics have argued that the universe might struggle without its titular character, showcasing a concerning dependency on John Wick's legacy for future storytelling.
