Ana de Armas revealed that she broke down crying over a 'risky' flamethrower scene in 'Ballerina,' which is part of the 'John Wick' universe. 'Ballerina' arrives in theaters June 6.

Ana de Armas learned a lot on the set of Ballerina and is learning even more for her next project, Deeper, in which she will co-star opposite Tom Cruise.

The film received a glowing reaction from Tom Cruise (who has sparked dating rumors with Ana de Armas). However, in CinemaBlend’s review of Ballerina, Eric Eisenberg contends his low expectations helped his enjoyment of the “meh” spinoff. He rates the movie 3 out of 5 stars, writing:

Ballerina succeeds with its action and introducing a new fierce assassin played by Ana de Armas, while the rest of the movie isn't overly well developed

Lance Reddick, who died in 2023, makes his final screen appearance as Charon, and Ian McShane is back as Winston, the Continental Hotel’s dapper boss. They’re joined by a mighty roster of character actors: Gabriel Byrne as the evil Chancellor and Norman Reedus as an assassin on the run. Everybody, though, gives their B-game for “Ballerina.”
