Halle Berry's Next Big Move: A Star-Studded Crime Thriller

Halle Berry is not part of the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday. However, she is diving into a new adventure with Marvel stars Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo. This is not a superhero movie, though. It is a crime thriller based on Don Winslow’s Crime 101. This project has been on Berry's resume for a while, and it’s finally getting the green light. Berry has been talking about this movie. She mentioned it during an interview after the Amazon-MGM Studios’ 2025 CinemaCon Panel. She called it a must-see theatrical experience. With Hemsworth and Ruffalo on board, it’s clear why she’s excited. Hemsworth will play a jewel thief, and Ruffalo will be the detective hot on their trail. This setup sounds familiar, right? Think of a high-stakes heist with a lot of money and clever characters. Berry’s character has a personal motive. She was passed over for a leadership role because of her age. She works for a company that offers insurance to the ultra-wealthy. Her quest for revenge is sure to be full of trouble. The movie is directed by Bart Layton, who hinted that the famous 101 Freeway in Los Angeles will play a big role. This could mean a fast-paced, action-packed film similar to The Italian Job. One of the most impressive parts of this movie is the writing team. Peter Straughan, who won an Academy Award for his work on Conclave, is co-writing the script. He was also nominated for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Straughan’s expertise in crafting complex narratives is a huge plus. This movie has all the ingredients for a thrilling ride. Unfortunately, there’s no trailer yet. All we have are descriptions from the CinemaCon presentation. But that’s enough to get excited. Don Winslow’s novella is the basis for the film, and it’s sure to be a hit. Berry’s performance is expected to be as captivating as ever. Fans are eager to see how she pulls off this role. It’s shaping up to be a must-watch movie of the year.
