Halle Berry Teases Fans With Potential X-Men Return in Secret Wars

As a movie critic with over three decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the prospect of Halle Berry reprising her role as Storm in Marvel’s upcoming epic, Avengers: Secret Wars, has me both intrigued and somewhat perplexed. While it would be delightful to see the original X-Men cast reunite on the big screen once again, I can’t help but feel that their presence might feel a tad out of place in a film as monumental as Secret Wars.

There is a possibility that the original X-Men cast could make an appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe again, with Halle Berry hinting at her potential return in the upcoming film “Avengers: Secret Wars”. Since Marvel Studios has confirmed that “Secret Wars” will include more than 60 iconic Marvel characters, fans have been eagerly trying to guess who might show up. While it’s likely that most established MCU heroes will be present (excluding The Eternals), many are surprised at the prospect of the original X-Men appearing.

Initially, Halle Berry portrayed Storm in Bryan Singer’s “X-Men,” and her casting was widely admired by fans, even though some found the character’s frog reference debatable. Berry bid farewell to her role as the character in “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” passing the mantle to Alexandra Shipp in the revised timeline. However, it seems that Berry’s time as Storm may not be entirely concluded yet. In a conversation with Josh Wilding, Halle Berry hinted at a potential return as Storm in “Secret Wars.” When asked about this possibility, Berry responded cryptically: “Stay tuned…

“Perhaps you never know. We’ll find out, fingers crossed.”

Although Halle Berry didn’t explicitly confirm it, her recent remarks suggest that Storm could make a surprise appearance in Avengers: Secret Wars. This isn’t the first time Berry has hinted at returning to one of her iconic superhero roles. In an interview with ComicBook.com in 2022, Berry expressed openness to reprising Storm or Catwoman. “I would actually consider revisiting any of them,” she said. The actress has a fondness for big superhero franchises and hasn’t ruled out the possibility of returning to the superhero world. She added: “I loved being a part of those worlds, and I wouldn’t say no to stepping back into one.

As a fortunate actor, I’ve cherished every character I’ve portrayed, and being a part of these grand franchises has been an unforgettable experience. To this day, I find myself longing to reconnect with those characters whenever the opportunity arises.

Halle Berry Teases Fans With Potential X-Men Return in Secret Wars

Although many fans of the X-Men eagerly anticipate Halle Berry reprising her role as Storm, given she’s now part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it seems unusual for her to appear in Secret Wars. With the upcoming slate of Marvel Studios films brimming with significant events, and Secret Wars marking the conclusion of Phase 6, including original X-Men cast members in cameos could potentially be disconcerting amidst such high stakes for the future of the MCU.

Given the nature of the film, it would’ve been more suitable for Storm to make an appearance in Deadpool & Wolverine, a project often viewed as more focused on cameos than typical superhero movies. Interestingly, actress Halle Berry expressed her desire to be part of the latest release. However, she clarified that neither Ryan Reynolds nor director Shawn Levy extended an invitation for her to feature in the movie.

Once upon a time, Blake Lively posed this question to me. It was during the Marc Jacobs fashion show where our paths crossed, and she inquired, “Would you ever star in your husband’s film as Storm?” I responded, “Sure, if he were to ask,” but alas, the offer never came my way.
