Directed by Len Wiseman, the story serves as a spin-off for Keanu Reeves' John Wick, but her character has a different perspective, as we can tell from her back tattoos. Ana showed off her heavily tattooed back in a new poster for the movie, revealing the phrase 'Lux In Tenebris'

The phrase translates to 'Light In Darkness' and is written above a large design of an angel. Keanu's character also has a similar tattoo that translates to "fortune favors the bold," leaving many to believe they have a different approach in their storyline.

The actress worked with Keanu and revealed that it was an inspiring moment in her career while working on the movie. “Keanu is doing it all, too, so I can’t complain!” she told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. “I’m sore, I’m bruised, but I’m pushing through," she said about the preparation for the role, which included kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

While the star is booked and busy with her movie productions and fashion campaigns, she prefers to keep her personal life private and has decided to live away from Hollywood after reaching fame with her successful productions and getting media attention for her high-profile relationships.

During an interview with E! News at the TIFF, the 'Blonde' star revealed that she has been living in rural Vermont. “I feel like nowadays, we all want to go away from the craziness of the world,” she said to the publication. “We all want to have the chance to build your own safe space. I’ve made that decision myself.”
