The Marvel Studios film Deadpool and Wolverine features several major character appearances from previous Marvel films, but there was limited space to include many. Some fan favorites were missing from the film, such as Halle Berry’s Storm from the X-Men Movies.

During a conversation with ComicBook.com to promote the Netflix title The UnionBerry was asked directly about a possible return as Storm in Deadpool and Wolverine. She revealed that she had actually been approached by Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds’ real-life wife who voiced Lady Deadpool in the film, about her interest in participating in the project. Although Berry confirmed that she would be willing to do so if an actual offer came her way, that call from Reynolds never came, leaving Storm in the lurch.

When asked if there had ever been formal discussions about appearing in the film, Berry replied: “No. Blake (Lively) asked me once, I ran into her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show, and she said, ‘Would you ever play Storm in my husband’s film?’ I said, “Yes, if he asked me,” but he never asked me.”

One can only hope to persevere like Channing Tatum, who continues to hope that he will get a solo Gambit film.

In addition to her role as Storm, Berry is also known for her portrayal of the title character in DC’s Catwoman film. Although this film was not very well received upon its release in 2004, Berry has remained proud of the role and even recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. In 2022, she also commented that she would love to play this role again just as much as she did Storm if she had the chance to reprise either role.

Halle Berry would play Storm or Catwoman again if she had the chance

“I would actually play any of them again,” Berry told ComicBook.com of her past roles. “I loved all of those characters and I was always grateful to be able to play them and be a part of those great franchises, you know? So I would play any of them again.”

Deadpool and Wolverine is in theaters now. Berry’s Storm may not be in it, but the film brings back Jennifer Garner as Elektra and Wesley Snipes as Blade, and introduces Channing Tatum for the first time as Gambit.
