Although Halle Berry won’t be part of the mutant reunion in Avengers: Doomsday, she’s hopeful to team up with her fellow X-Men once again.
The Oscar winner recently admitted she’s “sad” that she won’t be part of the MCU‘s Phase Six for the next Avengers team-up, she would return “in a heartbeat” for any future outings with the X-Men.
“Storm is a very special character to me,” she told ScreenRant. “I’ve been so blessed when I gotten to play her.”
Berry added, “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. And while I’m sad I won’t be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat.”
Following her last appearance as Storm in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past, Berry’s franchise co-stars Patrick Stewart (Professor X), Ian McKellen (Magneto), Rebecca Romijn (Mystique), James Marsden (Cyclops), Alan Cumming (Nightcrawler), Kelsey Grammer (Beast) and Channing Tatum (Gambit) have signed on to reprise their roles in Avengers: Doomsday, premiering Dec. 18, 2026.
Director Jake Schreier, who is helming Marvel Studios’ X-Men reboot previously gave an update. “I can’t say anything about it, but we’ve started work on X-Men, and that’s obviously very, very exciting,” he told Empire in August.
