Halle Berry expresses her disappointment over the absence of her character, Storm, in the upcoming film "Avengers: Doomsday." Even though the Oscar-winning actress won’t be reprising her role this time around, she remains optimistic about the possibility of returning to the Marvel universe in the future.
In a recent interview with ScreenRant while promoting her new movie "Crime 101," Berry shared her feelings: "While I’m sad I won’t be in ‘Doomsday’ this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat." Her enthusiasm for the character and the franchise is evident, and it leaves fans hopeful for her eventual comeback.
Berry took a moment to reflect on her journey within the X-Men franchise, expressing pride in her participation. She remarked, "I think the whole world of the X-Men and being mutants and outcasts has been significant. These films carry messages that are vital, especially for my children as they have grown up. They hold a special place in their hearts." This sentiment highlights the impact that these stories can have on audiences, particularly younger viewers.
Having portrayed Storm from 2000 to 2014, Berry appeared in several major films including "X-Men," "X2: X-Men United," "X-Men: The Last Stand," and "X-Men: Days of Future Past." She conveyed her affection for the character, stating, "Storm is a very special character to me. I’ve been so blessed to have gotten to play her."
Although Storm may not make an appearance in this latest installment, a considerable lineup of actors from the X-Men universe is confirmed to reprise their roles in "Avengers: Doomsday." This includes notable names such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer, Alan Cumming, James Marsden, Channing Tatum, and Rebecca Romijn.
Additionally, the film will feature a star-studded cast that includes Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Mackie, Danny Ramirez, Sebastian Stan, Paul Rudd, Tom Hiddleston, Letitia Wright, Winston Duke, Simu Liu, Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Wyatt Russell, Hannah John-Kamen, and Lewis Pullman. Interestingly, Robert Downey Jr. is set to appear in "Doomsday" as Doctor Doom rather than his iconic role as Tony Stark.
