Actor Catalina Sandino Moreno has joined the cast of Ballerina, the upcoming spinoff of John Wick.

It is reported that the actor has been roped in to play a crucial part. Ballerina stars Ana De Armas in the lead role as a young female assassin who seeks revenge against those who killed her family. Written by Shay Hatten, the film is directed by Len Wiseman. It's currently in production.

The film features some more familiar faces from the John Wick films -- Ian McShane as Winston, the manager of the Continental Hotel, Anjelica Huston as the Director and John Wick himself and Lance Reddick as Charon, a concierge at the pivotal Continental Hotel. Keanu Reeves is also expected to make an appearance in the spin-off.

“One of the challenges of casting Ballerina is making sure that the new roles are played by actors with as much power, emotional presence, and physical skill as Ana has. After working with Catalina on John Woo's Silent Night, it was clear that she belonged at the top of our list, and it’s a thrill to be reuniting with her," said Producer Erica Lee about Moreno's casting, to Deadline.

The actor recently starred in hit shows such as From and The Affair. Besides Ballerina, Moreno will be seen in Silent Night directed by John Woo.
