Hollywood star Halle Berry is set to star in John Wick: Chapter 3, featuring Keanu Reeves in the lead role. Anjelica Huston, Asia Kate Dillon, Mark Dacascos, and Jason Mantzoukas have also joined the cast of the film, as reported by Variety. Halle Berry will be seen playing the female lead of the film, which is going to be produced under the banner of Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment. Halle Berry would be playing the character of Sofia in the movie. Huston is going to play a figure known as The Director, while Dillon is The Adjudicator of the High Table. Dacascos is an assassin named Zero, and Mantzoukas as the Tick Tock Man.

The story continues after the happenings of Chapter 2, which sees Wick, a former assassin who tried and could not live the quiet life, with a USD 14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After murdering a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, Wick is excommunication, but the world’s most ruthless hitmen and women are looking for his every turn.

“We’re thrilled to bring audiences the third installment of our hit ‘John Wick’ franchise with an exciting cast and world-class creative team,” said Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake.

The movie is the third installment of the superhit franchise which collected $260 million worldwide. Both the movies were directed by Chad Stahelski from scripts written by Derek Kolstad, with Reeves portraying a retired hitman seeking vengeance for the killing of his puppy — which is a gift from his late wife.

The movies are known for elaborated stunts and an impressive body count as Reeves faces many gunmen out to do him in. The second film featured a Matrix reunion, with Fishburne starring in it. Reeves and Fishburne toplined all three Matrix films as Neo and Morpheus, respectively.

The movie will release on May 17, 2019.
