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.
During the Hollywood premiere of the John Wick spinoff in which De Armas stars as Eve Macarro, the star revealed some of the lessons she learned while filming the action thriller.
“I think it’s important to keep looking for truth, answers… To keep pushing until you find your truth no matter what,” she told Deadline during the premiere. “So, take risks and get to the bottom of it.”
In Ballerina, De Armas plays a ballerina-assassin who begins to train in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma to avenge her father’s death. The film, directed by Len Wiseman and written by Shay Hatten, takes place in the John Wick universe, between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 — Parabellum and Chapter 4. De Armas’ co-stars include Anjelica Huston, Gabriel Byrne, Lance Reddick, Norman Reedus, Ian McShane, and Keanu Reeves.
During the Ballerina premiere, Deadline also asked De Armas about her new film, Deeper, in which she will work alongside Tom Cruise.
“Training, just training, getting ready for what’s going to come,” she told us.
Deeper follows an astronaut who encounters a terrifying force while on a deep dive into a never-before-explored trench. Deadline recently reported that Doug Liman is set to direct the undersea supernatural film with Christopher McQuarrie involved with the script.
De Armas also discussed the legacy Ballerina will leave for the next generation of acting-starring women.
De Armas’ co-star Gabriel Byrne praised her for her stunt work.
