As a seasoned film enthusiast who’s seen more superhero movies than I can count on my fingers (and toes), the absence of Halle Berry as Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine was a bitter pill to swallow. Having grown up watching her gracefully embody the role of one of Marvel’s most iconic characters, it seemed like a no-brainer for her to make an appearance in this epic crossover event.
In a surprising turn of events, Deadpool and Wolverine boasted an array of cameos, even bringing back some iconic characters from the past. However, one anticipated return that failed to materialize was Halle Berry reprising her role as Storm in X-Men. Although there are several speculations about why certain original cast members didn’t come back for this film, it appears that Berry’s non-appearance can be chalked up to the most straightforward reason: Ryan Reynolds simply did not ask her to return.
Despite some speculation that there might be additional factors at play, ComicBook.com reports that Halle Berry was ready to don Storm’s costume once again if asked by the Deadpool actor, but it was only Ladypool (Blake Lively) who reached out to her about reprising her role. At a recent red carpet event for the upcoming action thriller “The Union,” premiering exclusively on Netflix on August 16, Berry addressed the question of why she wasn’t featured in this year’s blockbuster film.
Once, I encountered Blake Lively at a Marc Jacobs fashion show, and she posed the question, “Ever consider being in your husband’s film as Storm?” I replied, “Sure, if he extends the invitation,” though he never did.
As a die-hard Marvel enthusiast and longtime admirer of Hugh Jackman’s portrayal of Wolverine alongside Halle Berry’s Storm, I can’t help but wonder why Ryan Reynolds didn’t manage to bring these two iconic characters together in a stunning cameo during his tenure as Deadpool. While the reasons for this missed opportunity remain unclear, it’s left fans like myself eagerly waiting for any insight into what might have prevented such a fan-favorite reunion from happening.
Previously, Berry shared a photo on what was once known as Twitter, which led many to interpret it as her preparing for a comeback as Storm. When news broke about Deadpool and Wolverine, and speculation grew that the film would feature characters from multiple Marvel realms and the MCU, Berry’s potential return as Storm was one of the most eagerly awaited rumored appearances.
Deadpool & Wolverine Keeps Smashing Records
Deadpool & Wolverine‘s release marks a significant milestone for Disney and Marvel Studios, serving as a much-anticipated commercial success following a less than stellar year at the box office in 2023. The R-rated film has surpassed the $1 billion mark and continues to thrive, showing no signs of slowing down. Debuting on July 26, 2024, it swiftly joined the esteemed group known as the $1 billion club within a few short weeks. With its record-breaking trajectory, it’s expected to surpass Joker (2019) and become the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever made.
The success of Deadpool and Wolverine indicates a significant shift in direction for Disney and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, suggesting that R-rated Marvel productions can be just as successful if executed correctly. For nearly two decades, these franchises have thrived in the PG-13 bracket, but the recent box office success of these characters demonstrates the potential for R-rated Marvel projects to deliver impressive results. The revamped Blade project, which has faced challenges during development, is now opting for an R rating, and the success of Deadpool and Wolverine will likely encourage this decision as well as similar choices for other films and TV shows in the pipeline.
