As such, fans have become curious about the film’s ending and are wondering what happens in it. Set during the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, the film sees Eve Macarro (de Armas) training in the assassin tradition of Ruska Roma. Macarro also begins a revenge campaign against her father’s killers — a mysterious organization known as the Cult.
So, does Eve die in Ballerina’s ending? Does John Wick kill Eve? Here is Ballerina’s ending explained with spoilers.
Does Eve die in Ballerina’s ending?
No, Eve doesn’t die in Ballerina’s ending.
At the end of the film, Eve fights her way through Hallstatt’s Cult base and kills numerous Cult members. She then kills the Chancellor, thus preventing a war with the Ruska Roma and also ensuring that the Director spares her life. Unfortunately, the Cult retaliates by placing a massive bounty on Eve’s head.
Eve then departs to unknown places, her future uncertain.
Why John Wick doesn’t kill Eve in Ballerina?
John Wick doesn’t kill Eve in Ballerina because he sympathizes with the latter’s situation.
Wick’s services are hired by the Director for the Chancellor after the latter threatens to destroy the Ruska Roma over Eve’s meddling in his affairs. Wick is given a short time window to find and dispatch Eve. However, after encountering her and engaging in a brief duel, Wick expresses sympathy towards Eve’s situation.
Keanu Reeves’ hitman then tells Eve that she has until the end of the former’s time limit to kill her to finish her mission. He says that he won’t kill her if she successfully completes her mission within the time limit, but will pull the trigger if time runs out. Later, he aids Eve when she enters a shootout with the Cult, sniping numerous enemies and helping her with tougher opponents.
