Even though she doesn’t appear inBallerina, Eve Macarro’s mother plays an important role in the movie’s story. At the beginning of the film, Eve and her father are seen living a peaceful life after escaping fromthe Cult, who are the main villains inBallerina. However, their peace is quickly disrupted when the Cult tracks them down. While he puts up a good fight, Eve’s father dies at the beginning of the film. Thankfully, though, Eve is not taken by the Cult, and instead becomes a member of the Ruska Roma.
Twelve years later, Eve decides to embark on a mission to get revenge against the Cult for the death of her father. On this mission,Eve meets her sister, who her father chose not to take during their escape since she had become too integrated with the Cult. Additionally, Eve’s mother is also mentioned inBallerina, but her fate is unknown. At theend ofBallerina, Eve kills the Chancellor, but the Cult could still play an important role in futureJohn Wickmovies. Therefore,Eve’s mother could potentially appear in a potential sequel toBallerina.
The Chancellor Claims Eve’s Mother Was Killed By The Cult
Does The Chancellor Lie About Eve’s Mother’s Fate In Ballerina?
According to the Chancellor, who leads the Cult, Eve’s mother is dead. However, his word should not be taken for truth, which is why it is still worth examining what really happened to Eve’s mother. InBallerina,the Chancellor claims that Eve’s mother “paid the price” for her father’s desertion. Obviously, this makes it seem like she was killed after Eve and her father escaped, but it’s possible that she was punished in a different way.
More than likely, Eve’s mother was actually completely loyal to the Cult, which is why her father didn’t escape with the whole family.
While not much is known about Eve’s mother, it seems like she was an important member of the Cult. Therefore,it would be surprising if the Chancellor decided to kill her, or even punish her at all. More than likely, Eve’s mother was actually completely loyal to the Cult, which is why her father didn’t escape with the whole family. If this is the case, then the Chancellor’s claim that Eve’s mother “paid the price” inBallerinais probably just a lie.
Could Eve Macarro’s Mother Still Be Alive?
Eve’s Mother’s Fate Remains A Mystery
Sinceit is never confirmed that Eve’s mother is dead inBallerina, she is most likely still alive. After all, the beginning of the film also makes audiences think that Eve’s sister is dead before it is revealed that she is actually Lena. Lena being an important member of the Cult is another reason why Eve’s mother is also probably completely loyal to the group. InBallerina, Lena and the Chancellor clearly have a good working relationship with each other.
Before her death, it seems like the Chancellor trusts Lena more than many other members of the Cult. He only orders his men to kill her because Eve was obviously going to complicate their relationship. Therefore, Lena’s role in the film suggests that Eve’s mother is also an important member of the Cult. While she is seemingly not in the town inBallerina, she could track Eve down in a potential sequel. Overall,based on all the clues, it would be surprising if the Chancellor actually killed Eve’s mother.
Ballerina’s Ending Could Hold A Secret Connection To Eve’s Mom
Ballerina’s Director Wants Eve’s Mother To Be Alive
Aside from clues in the film,Ballerinadirector Len Wiseman’s comments about Eve’s mother also suggest that she is not actually dead. Wiseman revealed that Eve actually met her mother in an earlier draft of the script. Even though the final version of the film suggests that she’s dead, the filmmaker himself admitted that you never know who’s really dead in theJohn Wickfranchise. Additionally, Wiseman theorized thatEve’s mother may have placed the bounty on her at the end ofBallerina. He said:
At one point I had [in the script] that she meets her mother, and we never got there. We were maybe going to shoot the scene, but that’s always something that we hear, her mother’s dead, but in this world, you never know who’s really dead. There was an element of, when Eve does get the contract on her at the end, we don’t necessarily know for sure who put that contract on her. And if that path led to that, maybe her own mother [put the hit on her]. That would be brutal.
Her mother still will need to return to that village and see it decimated, and her daughter has been killed. So the ramifications can come in many different forms.
Based on Wiseman’s comments,it would be shocking if Eve’s mother doesn’t show up in a future project in theJohn Wickfranchise. If asequel toBallerinais made, it would make perfect sense for Eve’s mother to play a prominent role. Perhaps she will become the new leader of the Cult and hunt down Eve. Therefore, even though audiences are led to believe Eve’s mother is dead inBallerina, she is most likely still alive.
