During an
Instagram Live with hairstylist Christin Brown, the former
X-Men star spoke about her plans for the potential future project.
Berry explained the film was pitched to her some time ago, but was put on the back-burner ahead of production on her directorial debut
Bruised, in which she plays a disgraced MMA fighter.
She said: "[It's] a character where the woman is a trans character, so she's a woman that transitioned into a man. She's a character in a project I love that I might be doing."
Halle Berry continued: "This project got pitched to me right when I was the brink of making
Bruised, but I so was in the mindset of getting in the body to play that, and I don't know how long I can play an MMA character, so I had to get that out… but this got pitched to me, and I thought, after I do this movie, that's the character I'm going to play."
"I want to experience that world, understand that world. I want to deep dive in that in the way I did
Bruised. Who this woman was is so interesting to me, and that will probably be my next project, and that will require me cutting all of my hair off."
She added: "That's what I want to experience and understand and study and explore… it's really important to me to tell stories, and that's a woman, that's a female story – it changes to a man, but I want to understand the why and how of that. I want to get into it."
