But do you actually need to see the first four films to understand this one? Directed by Len Wiseman, "Ballerina" tells the story of Eve Macarro (Ana de Armas) who is beginning her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

Before we go further, some clarification on where this film fits into the timeline. Let’s forget (for now) that there was a John Wick 4, because the events of “Ballerina” take place during the third movie. So, erase from your mind whatever huge, life-altering thing may or may not have happened in the last film. OK?
