Actress Halle Berry says she did John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum as it gave her a chance to kick ageism in the face. Asked if it is true that she took up John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum without reading the script, Berry said: "Yes, because I was such a fan of 'John Wick' 1 and 2. I knew what it would require of me and the chance to kick ageism in the face." "People at a certain age believe they are done and cannot do certain stuff. I knew that this would give me a very great platform to show something different which is very important," she added. James Gunn Reveals This Sequence in Guardians of the Galaxy Was a Nightmare to Shoot – Here’s Why!
