The release date for the John Wick spinoff movie "Ballerina" has been revealed.

"Ballerina" will be hitting theaters on June 7, 2024.

The spinoff is centered around Rooney (Ana de Armas), a dancer-turned-assassin for the ruthless Ruska Roma crime family who seeks revenge against those who murdered her family.

She went through grueling and rigorous training at an early age, under the supervision of Angelica Huston’s The Director.

"Ballerina" is set between the events of "John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum" and "John Wick: Chapter 4".

Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane, and the late Lance Reddick will make cameos in the movie. 

The cast also incude Norman Reedus, Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, and Catalina Sandino Moreno.

Len Wiseman directs the movie off Shay Hatten’s script, with Basil Iwanyk, Erica Lee, and John Wick filmmaker Chad Stahelski producing. The pic is a Thunder Road Films / 87eleven production.

The first spinoff movie began filming last November 2022 in Prague. It was inspired by a scene from "Parabellum", where the audience was introduced to the Ruska Roma syndicate, the organization that trained young boys and girls into becoming lethal assassins.

The news Tuesday comes in the wake of "John Wick: Chapter 4" racking up a current gross of $250 million at the worldwide box office, taking the four-pic franchise to over $833M WW. It opened to a franchise high at the box office with $73.8M in the U.S. and Canada, and $138M worldwide.
