Call of Duty has also revealed the Season 4 roadmap for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, where a ton of new content is dropping soon in the game, like new Gobblegums, three limited time Zombies mode events, a new Killstreak, and many more. However, the most exciting addition has to be the Ana de Armas playable operator from Ballerina.

June 6 will see the release of the upcoming John Wick spin-off film named From the World of John Wick: Ballerina, which is starred by superstar Keanu Reeves and highly popular Cuban-Spanish actress Ana de Armas. Now, as a part of this film's promotion before its release, Call of Duty is going to collaborate with Ballerina and bring Ana de Armas in the game as a playable Operator in Season 4. There shouldn't be any doubt regarding the huge popularity of the John Wick franchise. Now it seems the widely renowned action movie series is expanding its roots beyond its core movies and looking a step forward with spin-offs, and Ballerina is the first step of that. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Cost Of Amusement Park Equipment From Mexico Might Surprise You Amusement Park Equipment | search ads Click Here Undo The movie is set between the events of John Wick Chapter and Chapter. However, the comment section of the announcement tweet of this collab clearly shows the disappointment amongst the fans, as they wanted to have the main man as an playable Operator as well, yes, John Wick himself aka Keanu Reeves. As this was a collaboration with the whole film and John Wick too features in the upcoming movies, it was quite obvious fans expected Baba Yaga to come to the Call of Duty Party as well. Ballerina's Eve Macarro, played by Armas, will star in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone who will probably be playable in a gorgeous red dress. Macarro is a highly trained assassin from the Ruska Roma, from where John Wick himself took his training as well. Despite this exciting news being revealed, the release date or price of this Operator haven't been released yet. Keeping in mind the past trend of previous collab bundles in Call of Duty, at least don't expect it to be dropped on the same day when Season 4 gets released . As the movie is about to hit the theatres on June 6, the Ana de Armas Operator might be launched before that. Read More: When Is the next double XP event in Call of Duty Black Ops 6?

Set in the 1300s, the film centers around a shepherd who unleashes a furious campaign against a group of mercenary knights who ravaged his community, revealing himself to be much more than an ordinary man. Fifth season, which is also financing and producing the drama, first collaborated on the project with screenwriter Will Dunn, who had previously worked on Ms Marvel. It was supposed to have an Italian setting with pope-connected story. The project had reportedly generated quite a buzz as it also landed on the prestigious 2023 Black List, the annual directory of most popular unproduced screenplays. However, now, under Dev's guidance, the film has shifted its plot to India to make it look more colourfully vibrant and almost mystical. The producers are hoping to turn the feature into a franchise, too. In Monkey Man, Dev portrays an underdog street fighter who ends up becoming a vigilante superhero. His character fights against the mighty and rich who oppress the downtrodden and are also responsible for his mother's death. Monkey Man also stars Sharlto Copley, Pitobash, Vipin Sharma, Sikandar Kher, Sobhita Dhulipala, Ashwini Kalsekar, Aditi Kalkunthe and Makarand Deshpande in key roles.

Dev Patel to write, direct, and star in period revenge thriller ‘The Peasant'
Dev Patel is expanding his filmmaking journey with The Peasant, a high-stakes period action thriller set in medieval India. Patel will direct, co-write, produce, and star in the film, reuniting with Thunder Road Pictures, the company behind his breakout directorial debut Monkey Man. Backed by Fifth Season and Thunder Road, The Peasant has been described as having the spirit of Braveheart and the kinetic energy of John Wick. The story follows a shepherd who unleashes a furious campaign against a group of mercenary knights who ravaged his village, revealing himself to be far more than an ordinary man. Originally developed by Fifth Season with screenwriter Will Dunn, The Peasant was first envisioned with an Italian backdrop as a papal thriller. Under Patel's leadership, the setting has been reimagined into an almost mystical 1300s India. Patel and Dunn are working together on the new drafts. The project initially landed on the 2023 Black List, highlighting it as one of Hollywood's most sought-after unproduced scripts. Producers are already eyeing the potential for The Peasant to launch a new action franchise. Patel's move into this territory follows the success of Monkey Man, his revenge thriller that earned widespread acclaim upon its 2024 release.
