Halle Berry has signed on to star opposite Keanu Reeves in John Wick: Chapter 3, the latest installment in Liongate’s action series.
Director Chad Stahelski, who oversaw the mayhem in the first two movies, will be back behind the camera for Chapter 3.
The story picks up after the events of Chapter 2, which finds Wick, a former assassin who tried and failed to live the quiet life, with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, John Wick is “excommunicado,” but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn.
Berry’s character details are being kept secret, but sources say she will not be the film’s villain.
