We first saw Halle Berry suit up as Storm in\u00a0X-Men. She reprised the role on several occasions before bidding farewell to Ororo Munroe in\u00a0X-Men: Days of Future Past. However, with the Multiverse set to be a huge part of\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday, the hope is that she might reprise the role.<\/p>\n
Last March, Marvel Studios revealed that\u00a0Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), and Deadpool & Wolverine’s Channing Tatum (Gambit) will all star\u00a0in\u00a0Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n
However, fans were quick to point\u00a0out the absence of several\u00a0X-Men\u00a0franchise icons, including Jean Grey (Famke Janssen),\u00a0Iceman (Shawn Ashmore), Rogue (Anna Paquin), and Wolverine (Hugh Jackman).<\/p>\n
Berry has repeatedly denied that she’ll\u00a0return as Storm in Avengers: Doomsday and doubled down on that while speaking to\u00a0ScreenRant<\/a>.<\/p>\n “Yeah, I love that,” she said of the outpouring of support from fans. “Storm is a very special character to me. I’ve been so blessed when [I’ve]\u00a0gotten to play her.”<\/p>\n “I think the whole world of the X-Men [is about] being mutants and outcasts. And there’ve been movies that I’ve been proud to have my children watch. They have so much to say that I thought has been really important, especially for my children as they’ve grown. So they’re beloved.\u00a0And while I’m sad I won’t be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat.”<\/p>\n Other rounds?\u00a0While it would be easy to assume the Oscar-winner is talking about Avengers: Secret Wars, it doesn’t appear Berry\u00a0was referring to any one project, in particular.<\/p>\n In a separate conversation, the actress once again denied being part of Doomsday but seemed a little more coy with her answer\u00a0this time…\u00a0<\/p>\n
