“I do know secrets and techniques about her that she is going to attempt to discover out in a while.”
Sharing her view on what makes Macarro totally different from Wick, de Armas went into element on the experiences of her character, and the way that drives her in his new film. She stated:
“I imply, we did not need to do a feminine John Wick. We wished to do Eve Macarro, you realize? I feel she’s totally different. She is and he or she is not, proper? They’re each after revenge. She’s coming from a number of ache.
She suffered a horrible expertise when she was a child witnessing some males killing her dad, and that is at all times been, you realize, together with her and he or she goes on a journey of discovering these folks and doing justice to her dad and however that ache turns into anger and rage and typically, you realize, she’s actually new to this.
John Wick may be very skilled, and he or she’s not.

Ana de Armas Was Decided to Make Eve Macarro Her Personal Character
Identical to the limitless questions of why we shouldn’t have a feminine James Bond, the thought of a female-led John Wick spinoff shortly noticed some folks calling out the franchise for making an attempt to gender swap Keanu Reeves’ character. Nonetheless, it’s clear that de Armas had no need to easily be seen as “the feminine John Wick,” and it’s one thing she has doubled down on after earlier feedback on the topic. Again in December, she defined the variations between the 2 characters, saying:
“I feel there are some logos within the model of the fights in John Wick, and issues that he does which are very explicit to him. However as a result of on this film we’re seeing via Eve’s eyes the background of that coaching that John had, and the way these assassins and ballerinas, how these folks turn out to be these assassins, there are some little particulars which are the identical. However Eve Macarro is Eve Macarro. She’s not John Wick.”
With John Wick 5 now in improvement, it may nicely be probably that Ballerina won’t be a one-and-done outing for de Armas’ Eve. Whereas she has beforehand hinted that she doesn’t need to turn out to be identified for ass-kicking motion roles – regardless of having discovered big success with a number of of them – it could most likely be laborious to show down a continued position within the John Wick saga if it was supplied.
