X-MEN Star Halle Berry Reveals Whether She Would Consider Reprising The Role Of Storm In The MCU

Marvel Studios has started exploring the Multiverse, but would Halle Berry be open to suiting up as Storm again? Well, the actress is extremely keen to make it happen after starring in Fox's X-Men movies.

If Spider-Man: No Way Home proves anything, it's that Marvel Studios isn't shying away from using the Multiverse to bring back some familiar faces from the past. There are plenty of actors and characters they can pluck from Fox's X-Men movies, of course, but will Halle Berry's Storm be among them?

The actress last played Storm in 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past, but Vanity Fair recently asked if she'd be interested in reprising the role should the opportunity present itself. 

"I would absolutely return to it, it's a beloved character, I loved playing Storm, and people love Storm," she enthused. "So, I would absolutely, you know, if we could find a version that would make sense, or a storyline that would make sense, I would absolutely do that, for sure."

There are lots of incredible actors Marvel Studios could bring back from the X-Men franchise (Anya Taylor-Joy's Magik should be a given), but a fresh start is also an appealing prospect. We'll see what happens, but if we get a Secret Wars movie with heroes and villains pulled in from multiple realities, we certainly wouldn't say no to seeing Berry given another chance to power up as Storm.

We need a break from Xmen films considering how shit the last few were. Interested to see how they incorporate them into the MCU but no rush.
Also props to Berry for being the only one who demanded her character in The Last Stand to have at least some character development. Really shows its not only about the paycheck for her.

The problem with her Storm and with all of Fox's X-Men movies as far as I'm concerned was that she wasn't given that much to do and what she was given was basically crap. I remember after the first movie she had stated that if her role had not improved she wouldn't have been interested in returning, not that it did that much. Don't blame her, she has proven she can act, but the material she was given was the weak point of her Strom portrayal.

Here's an idea:

Deadpool v. Wolverine: Dawn of the X-Men (aka. Deadpool 3)
As his universe keeps being destroyed, no matter how much he travels through time to prevent it, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) resigns himself to seeing his universe finally end.
As he's found by X-23 (Dafne Keen), who is hellbent to save the universe, Deadpool is once again roped into trying to save his universe one final time.
As him and X-23 travel through time they meet various incarnations of the X-Men, among them Professor X (Patrick Stewart & James McAvoy), Magneto (Ian McKellan & Michael Fassbender), Storm (Halle Berry & Alexandrea Shipp) and most importantly for both heroes: Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) himself.
With a team assembled from a slew of past, present and future X-Men they go up against their universe's final enemy: The Beyonder.


In the end Wolverine sacrifices himself to "reboot his universe and therefore saving everyone while Deadpool is tossed into the timestream in the final battle and lands in the MCU (which turns out to be the "rebooted" universe Logan sacrificed his existence for).

Apparently no Ororo in Black Panther 2. Feels like a missed opportunity.

@99OPTIMISTPRIME - Unless that is who Michaela Coel was cast as. She became my favorite for Storm ahead of Kiki Layne after I watched I May Destroy You but before she was cast in BP2.

I'd be ecstatic if either got the gig though.

Guess I’m one of the few that didn’t think she did so bad.

@TheWalkingCuban - I liked her in the role. However, when she is on the screen, my brain stops working normally to the point where I can't think straight, so makes me seriously biased.

Would be cool to see a glimpse of a Multiversal war with each world of Marvel Entertainment getting owned by Kang and we see whatever heroes left fighting to try and save their planet but failing. Like seeing Ghost Rider (Nic Cage) trying to save his world but getting wiped out, Storm (Berry) fighting for her world, and so on. And Doctor Strange giving this glimpse to the MCU heroes as to what's at stake.
