As a seasoned gamer and ardent fan of the John Wick franchise, I can confidently say that 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year for us Keanu Reeves devotees! The upcoming spinoff, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, promises to deliver another dose of action-packed awesomeness. However, it seems that behind the scenes, things haven’t been as smooth sailing as we’d hoped.
2023 proved to be a thrilling year for the John Wick series, as “John Wick: Chapter 4” made waves in both critical and box office successes, followed by the streaming debut of “The Continental”. After a break in 2024, fans can revisit this world of vibrant assassins in 2025 with the release of the Ana de Armas-led spinoff, “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina”. However, recent reports suggest that franchise co-creator Chad Stahelski had to intervene to rectify issues with the spinoff production, which might affect the production of the upcoming reboot of “Highlander”.
Chad Stahelski Allegedly Reshot Most Of Ballerina
As a gaming enthusiast, I remember back in February, Chad Stahelski, the mastermind behind the John Wick films, mentioned he’d collaborate with Len Wiseman on more action scenes for the spinoff, Ballerina. But it seems that Stahelski’s role was much broader than we thought! According to The Wrap, sources close to the production revealed that Stahelski essentially re-filmed most of the movie over a span of two to three months. One source even shared that Wiseman wasn’t on set when a substantial part of Ballerina was reshot in Budapest. Another source added:
Absolutely, as a devoted fan, I couldn’t help but jump into the fray when it came to tidying up someone else’s mess. After all, we’re dealing with ‘John Wick 3.5’. This tale unfolds before ‘John Wick 4’, and given the high stakes of everything ‘Wick’-related, there’s no room for error in this continuation.
In the article, t Chapter 4, it’s crucial for Ballerina to succeed rather than fail, and apparently, the studio felt it necessary for Stahelski to take charge to get things back on track.
The Ballerina Reshoots Will Reportedly Delay Highlander’s Production
Since Ballerina underwent a significant transformation, this change is likely to impact Highlander, another film that Chad Stahelski is scheduled to direct. Given that he spent an extended period working on the initial John Wick spinoff film, it’s anticipated that the Henry Cavill-led reboot will begin filming later than initially planned, as suggested by our trusted source.
Chad is going to do ‘Highlander,’ but cleaning up ‘Ballerina’ pushed him by five months for sure.
It’s said that Henry Cavill joined the Voltron film due to a rumored production hold-up in his schedule, creating an opportunity for him. The article further indicates that progress is being made on the Highlander script, and this additional time may be advantageous for the plot development. Since 2021, Cavill has been linked to Highlander, with his participation not officially confirmed until two years later. Aside from adhering to the core idea of a band of immortals who gain power from an energy called the Quickening and can only perish by beheading, no specific plot details for this reboot have been disclosed as yet.
It was stated earlier that Highlander might be one of Lionsgate’s major releases in 2026, but there’s uncertainty if this will still occur or if a shift to 2027 might be required. On the other hand, From the World of John Wick: Ballerina is set to hit theaters on June 6, 2025.
