Ballerina

Gatekeeper Strong in semis, fades in finals
2025 · Len Wiseman

Ballerina is a legitimate contender — but there's a gap between 'contender' and 'champion' that shows up in the round data. At 58%, it wins its share; it just rarely wins the last one. A spinoff that inherits the choreography and world-building of the John Wick franchise without inheriting the character that made people care. Ana de Armas brings real physicality, but borrowed mythology is a hard foundation for bracket loyalty. 1.8s avg decision time (platform avg: 3.5s). No deliberation needed.

Synopsis

Taking place during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, Eve Macarro begins her training in the assassin traditions of the Ruska Roma.

The ceiling

Close but not quite. 73% in the semis says genuine contender; 35% in the final says there's a gap between contending and winning that Ballerina hasn't closed.

Against The Amateur, the margin is razor-thin: 51%. The most contested matchup in Ballerina's record. Ballerina beats Man with No Past (100%) and Night Carnage (85%) convincingly. Final Destination Bloodlines at 25% is where the dominance ends.

Closest Rival

2025 Action Royale is Ballerina's tournament to lose. The final against STRAW at 57% is competitive but the outcome is consistent.
