"Promising Young Woman" filmmaker Emerald Fennell is co-writing the next "John Wick" spinoff.

The first three installments in the action-heavy vengeance franchise have been commercially successful, grossing a combined $587 million worldwide.

"And I was like, 'That's not going to work.'" Ana de Armas said she interviewed five or six female writers before hiring Emerald Fennell, a decision that she told the magazine made her feel very proud. "It was really important for me to hire a female writer, because to that point when I got involved in the project, it was only the director, Len Wiseman, and another guy," de Armas said. It has not yet been confirmed whether or not Fennell will receive a writing credit for her contributions, as the decision will ultimately be determined by the Writers Guild of America.

Ana de Armas felt her upcoming John Wick spinoff Ballerina needed a female writer and hired Promising Young Woman's Emerald Fennell to write the film.

It took tons of research and accent training for the 34-year-old actress to play an icon like Marilyn Monroe, and she hopes to blow away the audience with her performance. "It was really important for me to hire a female writer, because to that point when I got involved in the project, it was only the director, Len Wiseman, and another guy. The film is inspired by Luc Besson’s 1990 classic La Femme Nikita and will be helmed by Len Wiseman (Underworld, Live Free or Die Hard). John Wick director Chad Stahelski will be producing the film and assisting in the stunt work. In an interview with ELLE, de Armas revealed how she interviewed multiple writers before settling on Emerald Fennell. We hired Emerald Fennell, which I was so proud of." De Armas, who has already made a name for herself in action films with her memorable appearances in No Time to Die, Blade Runner 2049, and the upcoming The Gray Man, is excited to join the John Wick universe and reunite with close friend Keanu Reeves, who is executive producing Ballerina. Ana de Armas made her Hollywood debut alongside Reeves in the 2015 thriller Knock Knock.

Emerald Fennell has been brought on board to help write the script for the John Wick spinoff, Ballerina, which has Ana De Armas in the lead role.

And I was like, ‘That’s not going to work.’ So I interviewed, like, five or six female writers.

Jamie Lee Curtis learned a hard lesson about assumptions after an embarrassing encounter with her "Knives Out" co-star Ana de Armas.

“Their relationship was complicated. Interestingly, at the time of Ana and Ben’s breakup, sources close to the former couple had cited Ana’s desire to leave L.A. as a catalyst for their split. There’s no way out.” There’s no escape. Ana clarified that the scrutiny had actually been a blessing in disguise, in that it provided her with an opportunity to reevaluate her life on the West Coast.

Ana de Armas brought in 'Promising Young Woman' filmmaker Emerald Fennell to punch up the script for her upcoming assassin actioner 'Ballerina.'

But even though de Armas brought Fennell in to punch up the script, it remains unclear if she’ll get a screenwriting credit for her work on “Ballerina.” That’s ultimately up for the Writers Guild Of America to decide. “Ballerina” sees de Armas and Reeve reunite for the first time since the 2015 home-invasion thriller “Knock Knock.” That film was arguably de Armas’s breakout for stateside audiences. And Reeves will be back soon as John Wick next March in “John Wick: Chapter 4,” with another film in the series already in development. But there’s more exciting talent connected to “Ballerina.” In a new interview with Elle, de Armas revealed that she brought in “Promising Young Woman” filmmaker Emerald Fennell to help punch up the movie’s script. She was also the showrunner for season 2 of “Killing Eve,” a show that knows a thing or two about deadly females. The up-and-coming filmmaker won a screenwriting Oscar for “Promising Young Woman,” also her directorial debut.

De Armas also admitted to being uncomfortable with the label of "action" star despite roles in "No Time to Die" and upcoming "John Wick" spinoff "Ballerina.".

“I was very happy to see that they didn’t rush this relationship,” the “Deep Water” actress stated. The “Gray Man” script “still needed work,” de Armas admitted after first reading it. “The truth is, I never thought I was going to be an action actor.

The upcoming film, which has made headlines as Netflix's first NC-17 film, "reimagines the life of Marilyn Monroe, exploring the split between her public and private selves."

In 2015, de Armas landed an English-speaking role in Knock Knock; the following year, she appeared in War Dogs and Hands of Stone. After starring in 2019's Knives Out, de Armas was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical. "I do want to play Latina.

Though de Armas disapproves of the “action star” label, the actress has certainly proven herself highly capable of shining within action and thriller films. Though Knives Out saw de Armas star in a sea full of larger names, the film was not de Armas’ first time acting in a big Hollywood film. According to Elle, Curtis walked onto the set of Knives Out the first day asking de Armas questions that she would ask someone with far less experience, including “what are your dreams?” Curtis sheepishly admits that she assumed that de Armas “had just arrived” to the Hollywood scene because she was from Cuba. On the Knives Out set, Curtis even offered to introduce de Armas to Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, only to find out that de Armas and Jake were already acquainted.
