H2: Ballerina arrives on Prime Video UK
Ballerina, the 2025 John Wick spin-off led by Ana de Armas, has landed on Prime Video in the UK as of 10 January. The film, which opened in cinemas last June, follows de Armas’ Eve Macarro as she trains with the Ruska Roma to become an assassin and seek revenge for her father’s murder.
H3: Plot and cast
Eve Macarro evolves from dancer to lethal operative, blending balletic precision with brutal combat. Ana de Armas leads the cast alongside Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus and Catalina Sandino Moreno. Keanu Reeves makes a cameo as John Wick, joined by franchise regulars Ian McShane and Anjelica Huston, and features one of the late Lance Reddick’s final appearances.
H3: Critical and audience response
While not universally lauded as the core John Wick entries, Ballerina received generally positive notices. Rotten Tomatoes currently reports a 75% approval from critics and a 92% audience score, reflecting strong fan enjoyment. Digital Spy highlighted the film’s choreography and praised its “near-constant action,” calling it a “superb” weekend watch despite some reservations about certain story elements.
Other outlets echoed that praise. The New Statesman described Ballerina as a “tight two hours of deeply stressful action,” noting an intense body count and striking set pieces. Reviewers singled out Ana de Armas’ performance — saying she carries the film and brings physicality and presence that help the spin-off stand apart from its source material.
H3: Box office and streaming move
Ballerina grossed more than $137 million worldwide in theaters. Today’s arrival on Prime Video gives UK viewers a chance to revisit the Wickverse from home and judge how the spin-off expands the franchise’s scope. With its streaming debut, Ballerina joins other franchise content already available on the platform, like The Continental.
H4: How Ballerina fits into the John Wick universe
Ballerina is part of the expanding John Wick universe, or “Wickverse,” which now includes feature films, prequel series and animated projects. While the original films focus on Wick himself, Ballerina explores a different corner of the world, mixing a kooky origin story with creatively brutal action choreography. The film also sets up further spin-offs — including projects centered on Donnie Yen’s Caine and animated prequels.
H4: How to watch
UK viewers can stream Ballerina now on Prime Video. If you’re a fan of choreographed action and the John Wick world, this spin-off offers a compact, intense viewing experience with strong audience approval.
Ballerina’s Prime Video arrival makes it easy for viewers to judge how this chapter expands the franchise and spotlights Ana de Armas’ commanding turn in the Wickverse.
