*Halle Berry, Michael B. Jordan and “Grey’s Anatomy” actress Chandra Wilson are all about to hit the big and small screens in new projects.

Berry joins Anjelica Houston and Asia Kate Dillon as new additions to “John Wick: Chapter 3,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The latest installment in Liongate’s action series picks up after the events of Chapter 2, which finds Wick (Keanu Reeves), a former assassin who tried and failed to live the quiet life, with a $14 million price tag on his head and an army of bounty-hunting killers on his trail. After killing a member of the shadowy international assassin’s guild, the High Table, John Wick is “excommunicado,” but the world’s most ruthless hit men and women await his every turn. Director Chad Stahelski, who helmed the first two movies, will be back behind the camera for Chapter 3.

Berry’s character details are being kept secret, but sources say she will not be the film’s villain.

The actress on Monday shared an Instagram post confirming her stay in the Continental Hotel, the film’s hotel for assassins. “It’s a date. 5.17.19,” Berry said in reference to John Wick: Chapter 3’s release date.

Michael B. Jordan, star of “Black Panther,” HBO’s “Fahrenheit 451” and the upcoming “Creed II,” will join Rooster Teeth’s “gen:Lock” to voice the hero of the futuristic anime-style series, according to Variety.

In “gen:Lock” — from the team behind Rooster Teeth Animation’s popular “RWBY” series — Earth’s last free society is on the losing side of a global war. Jordan will provide the voice of lead character Julian Chase, who joins the fight as the first pilot for the next generation of mecha: a class of giant, weaponized robots controlled by humans.

The project is expected to premiere later this year, exclusively on Rooster Teeth’s streaming service, First, with subscriptions starting at $4.99 monthly.
