Academy-award-winning actress Halle Berry is set to star in the upcoming Roland Emmerich disaster filmMoonfall. Recently, Berry discussed the new film and also hinted at the future of her role in theJohn Wickfranchise.
In the third film of the franchise,John Wick 3: Parabellum, Berry plays John’s fellow dog-loving ally, Sofia Al Azwar. Sofia is the manager of the Casablanca-based continental hotel, which like its New York counterpart, hosts all kinds of shady underworld figures.

Sofia is one of the few characters who John can turn to after he is declared “excommunicado” by the sinister High Table. Berry’s character may not take up too much screen time inJohn Wick 3, but she certainly left her mark. Fans will likely remember her for her loyal and equally deadly canine companions. In an interview with IGN, Berry revealed that her character will in fact not be in the upcoming fourth film of theKeanu Reeves action franchise. However, that doesn’t mean fans have seen the last of the deadly manager of the Casablanca Continental Hotel. Berry said, “There could possibly be a Sofia…her own movie. So she might not be in John Wick, but she might be doing her own thingy-thingy.”
The massively popularJohn Wickfranchise already has a number of upcoming spinoffs in the works. This includes the limited prequel seriesThe Continental,which stars Mel Gibson and is set to premiere on Starz later this year. A spinoff film titledBallerinastarring Knives OutandNo Time To Dieactress Ana de Armasis also in development. A fourthJohn Wickfilm is also in the works, but like many films in the last few years, its release date has been pushed back several times. It is currently scheduled for a theatrical release in 2023.
Ever since she starred as Bond girl Jinx in thePierce Brosnan James Bond,Die Another Day,Berry has developed a reputation for taking on intensely physical, action-heavy roles, such as Storm in the FoxX-Menfilms and the much-malignedCatwomanmovie. More recently, Berry starred in the Netflix filmBruised,which she also directed. In the film, Berry plays a washed-up MMA fighter who tries to mend her relationship with her estranged daughter.
Berry was actually set to star in a James Bond spinoff film featuring her character fromDie Another Day,but the project was canceled. In the past, Berry has expressed disappointment at the cancellation of her Bond spinoff and even referred to her potentialJohn Wickspinoff film as “putting some ointment on a little sore.”
John Wick: Chapter 4is scheduled to be released on March 23rd, 2023.
