Halle Berry to make her directorial debut with MMA drama 'Bruised,' report says

It turns out, what Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has always wanted to do is direct.

At least that's allegedly Berry's next move, as Deadline Hollywood reported Tuesday that the "X-Men" star is planning to make her feature directorial debut with the mixed martial arts action drama "Bruised."

Berry will also star in the project as a disgraced MMA fighter forced to rehabilitate herself and her career to provide for her son.

The "Monster's Ball" actress is currently filming "John Wick 3" opposite Keanu Reeves and will be taking several of her Wick universe connections along into her next project.

"John Wick" producer Basil Iwanyk of Thunder Road Pictures has joined "Bruised" as a producer, along with Entertainment 360 and Linda Gottlieb, Deadline said. Additionally, the fight choreography team from "Wick" will join Berry on the film.
