As a die-hard fan of Halle Berry and her illustrious career, I find myself captivated by her recent remarks about revisiting the iconic role of Catwoman. While her portrayal of Storm in the X-Men series will always hold a special place in my heart, it’s refreshing to see Berry expressing a willingness to reprise the infamous Catwoman role under one condition – if she were behind the camera.
Halle Berry expressed interest in reprising her role as a famous comic book character again, but not the one you might assume. In a recent interview on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Berry talked about her birthday, carrying the Olympic torch in Paris, and celebrating the 20th anniversary of her film Catwoman from DC Comics. Despite some fans wanting to forget Catwoman, Berry hasn’t, and she stated that she would consider reprising the role, provided there was a specific condition met.
Although Berry gained widespread recognition for her comic book character role as Storm in the X-Men movies directed by Bryan Singer, her portrayal of Patience Phillips in the 2004 Catwoman film has become particularly notorious. Critics and audiences alike panned this movie when it premiered in July 2004, as they found the campy melodrama unappealing. However, Berry mentioned during an interview with Fallon that the film is now gaining a following due to streaming services. When asked by Fallon if she would reconsider playing Catwoman again, Berry made it clear that there’s only one circumstance under which she might consider it: if she were in charge of directing the project.
Maybe, if I could direct it.
As a passionate movie critic, I’ve been intrigued by Halle Berry hinting at a potential return to the Catwoman universe if given the chance to direct. However, she’s already demonstrated her directorial prowess with the 2020 drama “Bruised.” Despite uncertainty about her intentions, Berry shared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that this film is resonating with a new generation of viewers, who are experiencing it for the first time.
I am thrilled that my kids have finally discovered this amazing find on the internet! They absolutely adore it, and let me tell you, it brings a sense of validation after all the skepticism we faced before. Now they’re raving about how cool it is, making me wonder what everyone was so hung up about in the first place.
How Halle Berry Made History at The Razzies Thanks to Catwoman
It’s widely acknowledged that Catwoman is often seen as one of the most disappointing comic book films ever produced. With a mere 8% rating from critics and 18% approval from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s clear that this film didn’t resonate well with either group. Despite its massive $100 million budget, it only managed to gross $40 million in domestic box office sales. However, since its release, Halle Berry has been unwavering in her defense of the movie. Even when Catwoman was nominated for seven Razzie Awards and won four, including Worst Picture and Worst Actress, Berry attended the ceremony to accept her award in person. Interestingly, she carried her Best Actress Oscar from Monster’s Ball with her during the event.
Although Berry has been talking a lot about Catwoman lately, Marvel enthusiasts are puzzled as to why she didn’t show up as Storm in this summer’s blockbuster hit, Deadpool & Wolverine. Previously, Berry expressed her readiness to play Storm again, and the movie utilized the multiverse to reintroduce several Marvel characters from non-MCU films. It appeared that it was only natural for Berry to team up with her former co-star Hugh Jackman once more. Unfortunately, Berry didn’t make an appearance in the film, and she recently disclosed that Ryan Reynolds’s wife Blake Lively had initially approached her about the opportunity, but no one ever followed through on it.
At a Marc Jacobs fashion show one time, I encountered Blake Lively. She inquired, “Ever consider being in your husband’s film as Storm?” I replied, “Sure, if he extends the offer,” but unfortunately, he didn’t.
