Speaking to Shadow And Act, Halle Berry seemed reasonably sure that Storm would be reappearing for X-Men: Days Of Future Past, the Bryan Singer-helmed sequel to Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class.
The site reported:
Well, she did confirm to me that she would be returning in the role. Most likely. Practically 90% sure. And she nodded a lot too.
I can’t say, and neither could she say that it’s definitely a done deal, and that the contracts have all been signed, with all the “i”s dotted and the “t”s crossed.
She told me that are a few details that are still being negotiated which she couldn’t get into. But since she did tell me that the film starts shooting in April, it’s highly unlikely that talks are going to suddenly and horribly fall apart at this point, and the producers have to scramble to find a replacement at the very last minute.
Berry last took on the role of fan-favourite weather witch Storm in Brett Ratner’s 2006 turkey X-Men: The Last Stand.
Pick up X-Men: The Ultimate Collection, containing all five films so far, on Blu-ray for £19.75 and DVD for £15.29 from Amazon.co.uk. X-Men: Days Of Future Past is due in cinemas 18 July 2014.
