Is the ‘Ballerina' John Wick Movie Streaming on Netflix or Amazon Prime?
If you can't get enough of the John Wick franchise, I have good news for you: a new John Wick spin-off movie, Ballerina, opens in theaters this weekend. And even though he's not the star, Keanu Reeves makes an appearance in the Ballerina movie as Mr. Wick himself. Ballerina—aka From the World of John Wick: Ballerina—is a spin-off film that takes place between the events of the John Wick: Chapter 3 and John Wick: Chapter 4. Ana de Armas stars as Eve Macarro, a ballerina training to become an assassin. That's quite the career pivot! Her character also appeared in the third movie, but was portrayed by Unity Phelan, whom de Armas replaced for the spin-off. Also starring Gabriel Byrne, Catalina Sandino Moreno, and Norman Reedus, with Anjelica Huston, Lance Reddick, Ian McShane, and Reeves all reprising their roles, Ballerina is a can't-miss film for John Wick fans. Read on to find out where to watch the Ballerina movie, and when we expect to be able to watch the Ballerina John Wick movie on streaming. For now, Ballerina will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in theaters in the U.S. on Friday, June 6. You can find a showing near you via Fandango. Ballerina is not yet available to watch online or on streaming. Ballerina is not streaming on Netflix right now. That said, Ballerina is a Lionsgate release, and another recent Lionsgate release, Den of Thieves 2: Pantera, began streaming on Netflix after two-and-a-half-months in theaters. So, maybe you'll see Ballerina on Netflix in about two and a half months, around late August 2025. However, don't count on it, because plenty of Lionsgate movies have not streamed on Netflix. You will be able to purchase Ballerina on Amazon Prime Video eventually, when the movie becomes available to buy and rent on digital. You also might be able to stream Ballerina on Prime for free eventually, thanks to the new deal between Lionsgate and Amazon that will send the 2026 Lionsgate movies to Amazon Prime for the 'Pay 1' window, after the films play in theaters. Even though it's still 2025, according to Variety, Prime Video also got the streaming rights to a 'package' of 2025 films, too. It's not clear which films those are, and if it includes Ballerina. But it's possible that Amazon subscribers will be able to streaming Ballerina for free on Prime before the end of the year. Ballerina is not yet streaming on Starz. You might see Ballerina on Starz this year, because it is a Lionsgate film, and Lionsgate extended its output deal with Starz, despite the fact the studios are still planning to separate in 2026. Supposedly, under the new terms of the deal, Starz will have exclusive rights to Lionsgate films post-theaters, and that the window will now come sooner after the movie's theatrical run. But in practice, the recent Lionsgate films don't seem to be streaming on Starz at an accelerated rate. The 2025 Lionsgate film Den of Thieves 2: Pantera began streaming on Netflix about two-and-a-half months after opening in theaters, and yet the movie is still not streaming on Starz. So, that's confusing! Recently, the 2025 Lionsgate movie, Flight Risk, began streaming on Starz about four-and-a-half a half months after the movie opened in the theaters. If Ballerina follows the same release pattern, you might see the movie on digital in about two-and-a-half weeks, around late June 2025, and on Starz in about four and a half months, which would be around late October 2025. But clearly, not all Lionsgate movies are following that strategy in 2025, and some may be going to Prime. Right now, we don't have a clear look at Lionsgate's 2025 release strategy. If you want to see Ballerina right away, you should go watch it in a movie theater.

McLaren Drops 750S Special Edition, Which Honors Le Mans Legend
McLaren Drops 750S Special Edition, Which Honors Le Mans Legend originally appeared on Autoblog. In 1995, McLaren ran, completed, and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time. The manufacturer's race-ready McLaren F1 GTRs, which weren't all that different from the road-going version, filled out four of the top five places. The ranks included, of course, the No. 59 car, which took first place. Now, the automaker is honoring the iconic race-winning car by bringing a special edition 750S to customers. View the 3 images of this gallery on the original article As the No. 59 car wore grey to its winning race, it seems fitting that the McLaren 750S Le Mans is also offered in matching Le Mans Grey paint. Don't worry — iconic McLaren Orange is also available, although not unique to the special edition. A roof scoop comes standard, as does McLaren's new HDK (High Downforce Kit), the latter of which bundles a larger front splitter, rear spoiler, and under-wing louvres all in carbon fiber. Five-spoke LM wheels mirror what the F1 raced with and are unique to the model. Gold calipers, titanium exhaust finishers, special center caps, and Le Mans badging inside and outside the car round out a very special package dedicated to an extremely special car. McLaren's only making fifty of 'em, so better get in line. Under the hood (well, rear clamshell), the McLaren 750S Le Mans remains decidedly 'average.' At least, if you could possibly call something with such otherworldly performance average. A 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 develops 740 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque, allowing the McLaren 750S Le Mans to achieve speeds up to 206 mph. A seven-speed dual-clutch automatic sends power to the rear wheels, and carbon ceramic brakes handle stopping duties; six-piston calipers in the front, four-piston in the rear. Getting from a standstill to 62 mph takes under 2.8 seconds, and stopping from the same takes just 98 feet. View the 3 images of this gallery on the original article While this special McLaren 750S is primarily honoring the No. 59 car and its 1995 Le Mans win, there are a few other details that shouldn't be overlooked. As an optional extra, McLaren will include a plaque commemorating the brand's Triple Crown wins: 24 Hours of Le Mans, Indianapolis 500, and Monaco Grand Prix. McLaren is one of only three automakers with any claim of Triple Crown success. The other two are Ford and Mercedes, but only McLaren has won all three races as a team/chassis manufacturer. McLaren also says the 750S Le Mans commemorates the running of its GT3 EVO cars this year and the manufacturer's anticipated return to the LMH (Hypercar) class in 2027. I'm not buying one, and you probably aren't either, but it's hard to complain about a special edition that honors such a cool point in history for McLaren. I'm probably a little biased since the McLaren F1 is perhaps the only car regularly selling for millions of dollars that I actually want to drive. The development cycle, engine work (handled by BMW), and end result of the McLaren F1 make it one of the most historically interesting vehicles ever. Even better, apart from the FINA and Gulf-liveried longtail, No. 59 is one of the most iconic. I've digressed. We expect the new McLaren 750S Le Mans to drive as incredibly as the standard car; it will just look a little bit cooler and likely leave your wallet considerably lighter. McLaren Drops 750S Special Edition, Which Honors Le Mans Legend first appeared on Autoblog on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Autoblog on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

For Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves' co-star 10 years ago and once again, 'Ballerina' is a pirouette
NEW YORK -- Years before Ana de Armas was using an ice skate to slice a neck in 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' she co-starred with Keanu Reeves in a much different film. The erotic thriller 'Knock Knock,' released in 2015, was de Armas' first Hollywood film. De Armas, born and raised in Cuba, had just come to Los Angeles after acting in Spain. English was new to her, so she had to learn her lines phonetically. 'It was tough and I felt miserable at times and very lonely,' she says in an interview. 'But I wanted to prove myself. I remember being in meetings with producers and they would be like, 'OK, I'll see you in a year when you learn English.' Before I left the office, I would say, 'I'll see you in two months.'' Since 'Knock Knock,' her rise to stardom has been one of the last decade's most meteoric. She was radiant even as a hologram in 'Blade Runner 2049.' She stole the show in Rian Johnson's star-studded 'Knives Out.' She breezed through the Bond movie 'No Time to Die.' She was Oscar nominated for her Marilyn Monroe in 'Blonde. ' And now, 10 years after those scenes with Reeves, de Armas is for the first time headlining a big summer action movie. In 'Ballerina,' in theaters Friday, de Armas' progressive development as an unlikely action star reaches a butt-kicking crescendo, inheriting the mantle of one of the most esteemed, high-body-count franchises. 'It's a big moment in my career, and I know that. I can see that,' she says. 'It makes me look back in many ways, just being with Keanu in another film in such a different place in my career. It definitely gives me perspective of the journey and everything since we met. Things have come far since then.' While de Armas, 37, isn't new to movie stardom, or the tabloid coverage that comes with it, many of her career highlights have been streaming releases. 'The Gray Man' and 'Blonde' were Netflix. 'Ghosted' was Apple TV+. But 'Ballerina' will rely on de Armas (and abiding 'John Wick' fandom) to put moviegoers in seats. Heading in, analysts expected an opening weekend of around $35-40 million, which would be a solid result for a spinoff that required extensive reshoots. Reviews, particularly for de Armas playing a ballerina-assassin, have been good. 'There's a lot of pressure,' says director Len Wiseman. 'It's a lot to carry all on her shoulders. But she'll be the first person to tell you: 'Put it on. Let me carry the weight. I'm totally game.'' De Armas, whose talents include the ability to be present and personable on even the most frenzied red carpets, has done the globe-trotting work to make 'Ballerina' a big deal: appearing at CinemaCon, gamely eating hot wings and cheerfully deflecting questions about her next film, 'Deeper,' with Tom Cruise. Yet for someone so comfortable in the spotlight, one of the more interesting facts about de Armas is that she lives part time in that bastion of young A-listers: Vermont. 'Yeah, it surprised many people,' she says, chuckling. 'As soon as I went up there, I knew that was going to be a place that would bring me happiness and sanity and peace. But I know for a Cuban who doesn't like cold very much, it's very strange.' Winding up in northern New England is just as unexpected as landing an action movie like 'Ballerina.' She grew up with the conviction, from age 12, that she would be an actor. But she studied theater. 'I never thought I was going to do action,' de Armas says. 'What was relatable for me was watching Cuban actors on TV and in movies. That was my reality. That's all I knew, so the actors I looked up to were those.' De Armas also had bad asthma, which makes some of the things she does in 'Ballerina' — a movie with a flamethrower duel — all the more remarkable to her. 'I couldn't do anything,' she remembers. 'I couldn't run. I sometimes couldn't play with my friends. I had to just be home and be still so I wouldn't get an asthma attack. So I never thought of myself as someone athletic or able to run just a block. So this has been a surprise.' At 14, she auditioned and got into Havana's National Theatre of Cuba. Four years later, with Spanish citizenship through her grandparents, she moved to Madrid to pursue acting. When she arrive in LA in 2014, she had to start all over again. Now as one of the top Latina stars in Hollywood, she's watched as immigrant paths like hers have grow increasingly arduous if not impossible. The day after she spoke to The Associated Press, the Trump administration announced a travel ban on 12 countries and heavy restrictions on citizens of other countries, including Cuba. 'I got here at a time when things were definitely easier in that sense,' says de Armas, who announced her then-imminent U.S. citizenship while hosting 'Saturday Night Live' in 2023. 'So I just feel very lucky for that. But it's difficult. Everything that's going on is very difficult and very sad and really challenging for many people. I definitely wish things were different.' Chad Stahelski, director of the four 'John Wick' films and producer of 'Ballerina,' was about to start production on 'John Wick: Chapter 4' when producer Basil Iwanyk and Nathan Kahane, president of Lionsgate, called to set up a Zoom about casting de Armas. He quickly watched every scene she had been in. 'How many people would have played the Bond girl kind of goofy like that?' he says. 'I know that I can harden people up. I know I can make them the assassin, but getting the charm and the love and the humor out of someone is trickier. But she had it.' In 'Knives Out,' Stahelski saw someone who could go from scared and uncertain to a look of 'I'm going to stab you in the eye.' 'I like that in my action heroes,' he says. 'I don't want to see the stoic, superhero vibe where everything's going to be OK.' But it wasn't just her acting or her charisma that convinced Stahelski. It was her life story. ''John Wick' is all hard work — and I don't mean just in the training. You've got to love it and put yourself out there,' says Stahelski. 'When you get her story about how she came from the age of 12, got into acting, what she sacrificed, what she did, that's what got my attention. 'Oh, she's a perseverer. She doesn't just enjoy the view, she enjoys the climb.'' When that quote is read back to her, de Armas laughs, and agrees. 'Being Cuban, and my upbringing and my family and everything I've done, I've never had a plan B,' she says. 'I've never had that thing of, 'Well, if it doesn't work, my family can help.' Or, 'I can do this other career.' This was it. And I also knew, besides being the thing I loved the most, this was my survival. This is how I live. This is how I feed myself and my family. So it's also a sense of, I don't know, responsibility.' That makes her reflect back to when she was just trying to make it in Hollywood, sounding out words, trying not to disappoint directors whose instructions she could barely understand, trying not to be intimidated by the action star across from her who had just finished shooting the first 'John Wick.' 'I was so committed to do it,' she says. 'I was so invested in the trying of it, just giving it a shot. When I give something a shot, I try my best, whatever that is. Then I can actually say: I gave it a shot.'
