Let’s all thank Eva Longoria, the real-life hero behind not just the four John Wick movies, but his entire universe. Without her, we would never have had The Continental or Ballerina or the Ballerina trailer’s “Tiny Dancer” needle drop, which was one of the funniest in any teaser this year. Eva Longoria, we salute you.

The first “John Wick” movie opened in theaters 10 years ago and launched another iconic action franchise for Keanu Reeves that has since gone on to gross $1 billion worldwide across four movies. But it turns out none of that success would’ve been possible had it not been for Eva Longoria.

Marking the franchise's 10th anniversary, the producers of 'John Wick' (2014) revealed how Eva Longoria came through in the 11th hour.
