Halle Berry has signed on to co-star alongside Keanu Reeves in “John Wick: Chapter 3,” the next installment in the Lionsgate action thriller series, the studio announced Monday.

The film, currently in production, will pick up after the events of “Chapter 2.” John Wick (Keanu Reeves), a legendary hit man, is on the run with a $14 million bounty on his head after killing a member of the High Table, the international assassin’s guild. Wick has a one-hour grace period before his membership is revoked, and he’s banned from all services and cut off from other members. He uses the service industry to stay alive as he fights and kills his way out of New York City.

It’s a date. 5.17.19
