Halle Berry: I'm sad I won't be in Avengers: Doomsday

Halle Berry expresses sadness over not joining Avengers: Doomsday but is eager to return as Storm in future X-Men projects. Details inside.

"While I'm sad I won't be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat. - Halle Berry"

Los Angeles, Feb 9

Hollywood star Halle Berry, who played the weather-controlling superhero Storm from 2000 to 2014 in X-Men movies, is upset that she will not join a string of names from the X-Men universe in Marvel's upcoming sci-fi-action movie Avengers: Doomsday.

However, the 59-year-old would jump at the chance to reprise her alter ego in future film reunions.

She told ScreenRant: "While I'm sad I won't be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat."

The Oscar-winning actress shared how proud she is to have been a part of the X-Men universe, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The star, who has daughter Nahla with her 49-year-old ex-husband, fashion model Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo-Robert with her 60-year-old former spouse, actor Olivier Martinez, said:"I think the whole world of the X-Men and being mutants and outcasts.

"And there've been movies that I've been proud to have my children watch. They have so much to say that I thought has been really important, especially for my children as they've grown. So they're beloved."

The actress played Storm, also known as Ororo Munroe, in 2000's X-Men, 2003's X2: X-Men United, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, and 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past.

She relished every moment of bringing the powerful Earth mutant to life.

Berry said: "Storm is a very special character to me. I've been so blessed when I gotten to play her."

While the star will not appear in Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to be released on December 18, some of her X-Men co-stars will be. These include Sir Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Sir Ian McKellen (Magneto), Kelsey Grammer (Beast), Channing Tatum (Gambit), James Marsden (Cyclops), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler) and Rebecca Romijn (Mystique).

Avengers: Doomsday will also star Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Anthony Mackie (Captain America), Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova), Sebastian Stan (James 'Bucky' Barnes), Wyatt Russell (U.S. Agent), David Harbour (Red Guardian) and Lewis Pullman (Sentry).

Robert Downey Jr. will appear, but not as Tony Stark. He will be seen playing villain Doctor Doom. The Fantastic Four as portrayed by Pedro Pascal (Mr. Fantastic), Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman), Joseph Quinn (The Human Torch) and Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Thing) - are set to feature in Avengers: Doomsday also.

It has also been confirmed that Chris Evans will be returning to play Steve Rogers again after last portraying Captain America in 2019's Avengers: Endgame.

However, Mark Ruffalo's The Incredible Hulk will not appear in Avengers: Doomsday, despite the giant green hero having appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) since 2012's The Avengers and was last seen in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Despite his alter ego not being a part of the largest ensemble cast in the franchise's history, Ruffalo is up for playing Hulk in future projects.

Honestly, the cast list is already so massive and star-studded. Maybe it's for the best she's not in this one—the movie might get too crowded. Focus should be on giving proper screen time to the characters they already have.

Her point about the X-Men movies having important messages for her kids is so relatable. As a parent in Mumbai, I've also appreciated those themes of acceptance. The MCU could use more of that depth.

Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom is the real headline for me! That's genius casting. But yes, would have loved to see Storm's powers on screen again. She brought such grace and power to the role.

Marvel needs to be careful. They're bringing back everyone but the Hulk? And now no Storm? Feels a bit random. The strategy seems messy. As a longtime fan, I hope the story doesn't suffer from all these comings and goings.

She handled it with such class. "There are other rounds" – what a positive way to look at it! More power to her. Can't wait to watch Doomsday in theatres with friends though, the cast is still insane! 🍿
