During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Halle Berry shared why she wasn’t part of ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’
Kimmel asked Berry about a rumor that she might appear in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ since she played Storm in X-Men. Halle laughed and said she had heard the same rumor. “I heard that from …let’s see. I was at a Michael Kors fashion show and Blake, Ryan’s wife asked me,” she added.
“‘Duh, of course, I would,'” the actress shared her response. “But they never called me.”
Berry talked about the same topic in August. At the premiere of ‘The Union,’ she told ComicBook that she was asked to play Storm again in the ‘Deadpool’ movies, but it wasn’t Ryan Reynolds who made the request.
“Blake [Lively] asked me one time, I ran into her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show, and she said, ‘Would you ever be in my husband’s movie as Storm?’ I said, ‘Yeah, if he asked me,’ but he never asked me,” Halle explained.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ surprised fans with its action and Marvel cameos. Some fans thought Berry might return as Storm because Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, is in the movie. She even posted a photo with a new Storm hairstyle.
‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ also included Dafne Keen as Laura (X-23), Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Wesley Snipes as Blade, and Chris Evans as Human Torch.
Berry’s new film ‘Never Let Go’ arrived in theaters on September 20. “When I finished reading [the script], I couldn’t stop thinking about it for weeks,” the actress told Yahoo Entertainment about the movie.
She continued, “I wanted to understand if, only in my mind, how this happened and why this happened and what would it be like as a mother … [to give birth] and then raise two children in a house in the middle of nowhere and never leave.”
“This whole idea of generational trauma also wildly interests me and how we pass along our fears and our issues and our hurts and our pains to our children,” Berry added. “I know that’s very much a part of modern society. We don’t always realize that we’re doing it, but we always are. It’s a subject that I thought was in need of a conversation around, put it that way.”
Berry played Storm in the X-Men movies: ‘X-Men’ in 2000, ‘X2’ in 2003, ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ in 2006, and ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’ in 2014.
