Here's how Keanu Reeves' John Wick characterfactors into the story of Ballerina, the first official John Wick spin-off movie.

As great as Keanu Reeves is as John Wick, the franchise’s spin-off, Ballerina, didn’t need him to make an appearance.

In fact, Keanu Reeves actually pops up multiple times in the movie. The first comes early on, as he pays a visit to the Ruska Roma compound. He has a short exchange with Eve, where he promises that he’s working on getting out of the assassin life.
