After last week, one potential Avengers and X-Men team-up feels impossible to avoid. With the MCU<\/a> heading ever closer toward Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> and Secret Wars<\/a>, speculation is running wild about which characters will and won’t appear, as well as the interactions we might see between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Marvel’s classic mutant heroes.<\/p>\n

In that vein, there’s one key MCU pairing we should absolutely see in one or both of the upcoming Avengers movies. While the odds are still high, recent interviews have made a potential Thor and Storm team-up pretty hard for Marvel Studios to ignore.<\/p>\n

Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Halle Berry’s Storm NEED An MCU Team-Up<\/p>\n

\"Storm<\/p>\n

During last week’s press tour for their upcoming movie Crime 101<\/a>, actors Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo were repeatedly asked whether Berry\u2019s Storm would appear in Avengers: Doomsday<\/a>. While an appearance from Storm in Doomsday feels unlikely, Secret Wars may still be a real possibility based on some more hopeful comments from Hemsworth\/Berry. <\/p>\n

Without a doubt, Halle Berry\u2019s Storm is one of the most requested X-Men returns of those who’ve yet to be confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday.<\/p>\n

It also helps that Secret Wars<\/a> hasn’t yet begun filming, with production expected to begin in a couple of months, meaning Marvel can pivot if Storm’s inclusion isn’t already in the works. Whether it’s already part of the Doomsday\/Secret Wars plan or not, Marvel Studios pairing Hemsworth\u2019s Thor with Berry\u2019s Storm would be all kinds of epic.<\/p>\n

After all, Thor and Storm’s team-ups in the comics with their shared command over thunder and lightning have always been impressive, so seeing that translated to live-action would be quite the spectacle (while also making full use of having both the Avengers and X-Men in the same movie for the first time).<\/p>\n

Storm Wielded Mjolnir In What If…? (Now Let’s See It In Secret Wars)<\/p>\n

\"Storm
\n Storm as the Goddess of Thunder in What If…?’s third season<\/p>\n

Likewise, Marvel has already planted the seeds for Storm\/Thor in animation. In Marvel’s What If…? season 3, a variant of Storm who became the Goddess of Thunder was featured<\/a>, wielding Mjolnir as an instantly iconic multiversal hero. <\/p>\n

If Avengers: Secret Wars draws inspiration from the 2015 comics event of the same name, Storm’s Goddess of Thor could easily debut in live-action (and played by Berry) as a member of the Thor Corps, the police force of multiple Thor variants serving God Emperor Doom. <\/p>\n

Either way, Halle Berry returning as Storm in any capacity would be incredibly exciting, but a team-up\/mashup with Thor does make the most sense.<\/p>\n
