Halle Berry is hoping to get her own John Wick spin-off movie.
The actor starred opposite Keanu Reeves in 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum as former assassin Sofia Al-Azwar. Berry has now revealed she has spoken to Lionsgate Films about continuing her character’s story in a future blockbuster.
“Yeah, I wish that would’ve happened, but that’s not the route they went [in Chapter 4]. I thought that would’ve been a cool storyline. We talked about it, that’s for sure. We seeded it in John Wick: Chapter 3, and we’ve talked about a spinoff with Lionsgate that could potentially happen,” Berry responded when The Hollywood Reporter asked her if she had hoped to have returned in John Wick: Chapter 4.
While the actor insisted a possible Sofia Al-Azwar film was still in the pitching phase, the Catwoman star emphasized she was optimistic the project may eventually come to fruition.
“We need to do it sooner than later, but that could potentially happen. And I love that universe. I love ‘John Wick’ and I loved that character, so you never know. We’ll see,” Berry said.
This isn’t the first time Berry has hinted she could return to the John Wick world, as the Never Let Go actor had previously teased her character might get her own movie.
“Sofia’s not in the next John Wick movie. There could possibly be a Sofia … her own movie. So she might not be in John Wick [Chapter 4], but she might be doing her own thingy-thingy,” she told IGN before the release of Chapter 4.
Berry getting her own spin-off movie certainly isn’t out of the question, as Lionsgate has shown they are open to expanding the series with projects like the Mel Gibson-starring TV show “The Continental: From the World of John Wick” and Ana de Armas’ upcoming film, Ballerina.
Earlier this month, de Armas confirmed the flick had been delayed until next year after undergoing reshoots, but insisted the movie would be worth the wait.
“Every time they say you have reshoots, it’s not good. You don’t feel good about it. All we did in those reshoots had to be there. We got amazing footage. It’s really spectacular,” she told Collider.
