Ruby Rose’s portrayal of Ares in John Wick: Chapter 2 not only featured her as the personal bodyguard of the film’s lead villain Santino D’Antonio, but also in a role that brought a different kind of freshness to the film’s genre. Ares, a skilled and cold-blooded assassin, is known for her amazing fighting techniques and distinctive body language. Although Ares faces off against John Wick and is unable to match him, her character still managed to leave a deep impression on the audience.
After playing the role of Ares in the film, Ruby Rose has expressed her desire to work more on the character’s backstory. In a recent interview, while talking to Screen Rant‘s Liam Crowley, she shared her thoughts on exploring Ares in the John Wick universe in a deeper and more elaborate way.

Interest on Ares’ backstory
Ruby said, “Oh, I would love that. I mean, I don’t know if it will happen or not, but she was amazing and I loved doing the sign language, and I love her nuances and her whole style.” This makes it clear that the character of Ares was not just a role for Ruby, but a subject of deep interest. She wanted to understand more about the complexities within Ares and the story behind his behavior, which the audience did not get to fully experience in the film.
Ruby also revealed that she would like to have Ares’ backstory shown to give more insight into the character. “It will probably be very different from the story that I created while playing the role, which is always an interesting thing,” she said.
John Wick and Ares’ amazing combination
In Chapter 2, Ares takes on John Wick directly, but is defeated by John’s extraordinary skills. Ruby’s character alternates between calmness and ferocity throughout the film, which makes her even more fascinating. Her saying that she finds it interesting to see Ares’ backstory shows that there is a lot of potential for her to present this character in a deep and complex situation.
