Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry continues to elevate her career with yet another compelling choice. The X-Men alum has signed on for Red Card, an international thriller where she stars opposite fellow DC Universe veteran Djimon Hounsou.
A High-Stakes Global Thriller
Produced in part by Lionsgate, Red Card promises to blend edge-of-your-seat suspense with real-world gravitas. Hounsou plays Max, a Kenyan wildlife ranger who joins forces with Berry’s character, Amanda, an FBI supervisor determined to dismantle a human trafficking ring after Max’s son goes missing. The gripping narrative will unfold across exotic locales — filmed on location in Kenya’s Maasai Mara and Casablanca, Morocco.

A Powerful Pairing
Berry and Hounsou bring both history and credibility to their roles. Both have established careers in superhero and mainstream blockbusters, making this on-screen reunion particularly exciting for fans. “I’m already sold on this intense-sounding flick,” declared Cinemablend.
What Makes Red Card Stand Out
Adapted from true events, Red Card is being directed by Joel Souza, with a compelling screenplay by Oscar winner Nick Vallelonga and veteran writer George Gallo. Production is still in pre-production mode, but the film’s emotional depth, tension, and real-world relevance are already creating buzz.
Hounsou—known for his roles in Blood Diamond, Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Shazam series—brings rugged authenticity, while Berry delivers sophistication and intensity cultivated over decades.
Berry’s Momentum
This isn’t the only highlight of Berry’s recent year. Previously, she starred in Netflix’s The Union (2024), though reviews were lukewarm
InStyle, and has embraced health advocacy—testifying remotely to support a bill promoting menopause awareness.
Her red-carpet appearances remain iconic — from a show-stopping sheer gown and Cartier necklace at the 2025 Met Gala People.com+1 to chic vacation moments adorning social media Yahoo+1. Through all of it, Berry has relished a stable, loving relationship with musician Van Hunt—who recently proposed, albeit Berry says it’s out of desire, not necessity.
Final Take
With Red Card, Halle Berry shows no signs of slowing down. Her choice to portray a resilient FBI agent navigating perilous terrain underscores her fierce commitment to meaningful storytelling and global narratives. Fans are already buzzing—and anticipation is building.
