In an interview withExtra TVgiven in 2019, she shared about the preparation for theJohn Wickmovie,
“It’s hours and hours of stunt training, it’s gun training, it’s dog training, and then it’s just strength training on top of that. I wanted to be on the same level as [Keanu Reeves], I didn’t want to disappoint him, although I did get injured during rehearsal. I broke three ribs.”
“Chad hates when I bring this up, but it’s like a badge of honor for me. We don’t know how it happened really. I kept going for a little while with the broken ribs and then [Chad said] ‘Maybe we should stop.’”
Berry continued,
“What made me most happy is that when it happened, I thought ‘OK, I’m out of the movie. They’re going to replace me because the show has to go on.’ But to Chad’s credit, he waited for me. We pushed the production a little bit, and I got to come back.”

“I never was so touched, and never had I cried so hard when they came to me and said, ‘No, it’s just a bump in the road, we’re going to fix this.’ I couldn’t believe it because so many actors and so much scheduling had gone on for years to make this all work, and they were willing to say, ‘We’ll throw it all in the wind, we want you to stay on this movie, and we’re going to work it out.’”
