Although I understand why this scene was cut in terms of pacing, it does fill in the blanks in Ballerina as to when in the John Wick movies it takes place. It was said between Chapters 3 and 4 but this is during 3 which makes more sense now .
SYNOPSIS: The next chapter from the World of John Wick follows Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas), who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma. Eve seeks revenge for her father’s death, and finds herself crossing paths with John Wick himself (Keanu Reeves).
The film is directed by Len Wiseman, written by Shay Hatten, based on characters by Derek Kolstad, and produced by Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and Chad Stahelski.
Ballerina is now available on premium digital and premium video on demand from Lionsgate.
