Angelina Jolie's action movies have solidified her legacy as a true action movie star, despite her recent shift towards drama. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Mr. and Mrs. Smith have left a lasting impact in the action movie genre, leading to reboots and adaptations. Although Jolie's upcoming projects seem focused on drama, the potential spy thriller Maude v Maude may offer a chance for her action side to shine once again.

Two years ago, I thought Angelina Jolie was making an action movie comeback, but now I fear that her movies will no longer be part of the genre. Jolie first established her career in the 1990s, picking up roles in movies like Hackers and Gia. However, her big break came in 1999 when she played Lisa Rowe in Girl, Interrupted.

Oscar-winning actor Halle Berry had a strike of inspiration on the flight to Saudi Arabia, where she gave a career-spanning conversation at the third edition of the Red Sea Film Festival. The flight, she said, led her to figure out what she wants to direct next: “It’s a love story at its core but it deals with the supernatural, time travel and the future.”

This will mark Berry’s sophomore feature after 2020’s Mma drama “Bruised.” When asked about her first directing experience, the actor was frank, labelling the entire process “hell.” “Because I was a woman, and a Black woman, the treatment I received and the things I had to put up with were unconscionable,” she said. “If I were a white man or even a Black man, it would have been easier. It’s amazing I even made it and a miracle Netflix bought it.”

While the future of Keanu Reeves in the John Wick franchise isn't entirely clear, there are other characters in that world who can keep the series going with their own standalone films.

While speaking about the franchise on The Joe Rogan Experience (per ScreenRant), director Chad Stahelski, who has helmed all four John Wick films, addressed the possibility of Halle Berry reprising her role as Sofia, the character she played in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
