First Look at Halle Berry's "Sofia" in 'John Wick: Chapter 3'

As filming for John Wick: Chapter 3 is underway in New York City, Lionsgate revealed our first look at Halle Berry's badass character Sofia via Twitter.

Though little is known about Berry's character, we can speculate Sofia is not just any "woman on a mission" but likely an assassin who appears to be strolling through The Continental with two gorgeous Germain Shepherd's in tow. But the bigger mystery still remains, is she with or against John?

The 51-year old Oscar winner joins Chapter 3's star-studded cast featuring newcomers Hiroyuki Sanada (47 Ronin), Anjelica Huston as “The Director”, Asia Kate Dillon (Billions) as “The Adjudicator” of the High Table, Mark Dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolf) as an assassin named “Zero,” and Jason Mantzoukas (The House) as the “Tick Tock Man". Additionally, John is also set to face off against a pair of baddies from The Raid franchise in Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman. And if those additions weren't enough, Reeves' Man of Tai Chi co-star Tiger Hu Chen is also confirmed for an undisclosed role!

Common (Cassian), Ruby Rose (Ares), Ian McShane (Winston), Lance Reddick (Charon), and Laurence Fishburne (Bowery King) are set to reprise their roles from John Wick and John Wick: Chapter 2.

Director Chad Stahelski returns to direct from a script co-written by the franchise's godfather Derek Kolstad along with Shay Hatton. Notably, that’s the same Shay Hatton whose spec script "Ballerina" was recently purchased by Lionsgate and Thunder Road in an attempt to expand the 'Wick' universe with a female-led spy film.

Should be interesting to see where Berry fits in here. John Wick 3 hits theaters May 17, 2019 (US).
