Ryan Reynolds’Deadpool & Wolverinewasn’t merely another comic book movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe; it was a thrilling trip down memory lane for Marvel fans. Packed with innumerable action scenes and the delightful chemistry of the two vastly opposite mutants, the film also brought back several beloved characters to the big screen as well as introduced many new ones.
Capturing the very essence of what makes the MCU so special, the film, however, failed to bring a special cameo: Halle Berry as Storm. WhileX-Menfans will be certainly pissed, it isn’t the first time that the actress was betrayed by a Marvel movie.
HowDeadpool & WolverineRobbedX-MenFans of a Special Cameo
BeforeRyan Reynolds‘ MCU flick,Deadpool & Wolverinewas released, there was a significant buzz about the potential cameos the movie could have. Many names were thrown in, yet not most turned out to be false leads. And the actual cameos ended up being a stunning surprise, a feat that no one could have even imagined in their wildest dreams.
From Wesley Snipes to Henry Cavill, the film provided fanswith some of the finest cinematic moments, makingDeadpool & Wolverineno less than a legendary entry into the MCU. However, the film robbedX-Menfans of a chance to bring back an iconic character from Fox’s mutantverse:Halle Berry‘s Storm.
Only Ryan Reynolds Could Have Convinced Matthew McConaughey for Deadpool & Wolverine Cameo After Actor Turned Down MCU Twice Before
Rumored to be in the film, the actress’s character has remained a fan-favorite mutant even years after the franchise ended. In a recent interview withComicBook, Berry revealed if she was ever contacted for a cameo,
No. 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.
A shocking revelation, Berry’s comments are sure to create ripples across the Marvel fandom. A surely disappointing update forX-Menfans, this isn’t the only time the actress was treated unfairly by a Marvel movie.
When Halle Berry Was Nearly Betrayed by Fox Studios’ Marvel Flick
Halle Berry has been a beloved part of Fox’sX-Menuniverse. Having portrayed the weather-controlling Storm in severalX-Menmovies, the actress’s iconic portrayal is defined by her commanding presence and fierce dedication to the role. While she continues to be loved by fans, there was once a time when the actress was nearly betrayed by Fox Studios.
The British directorMatthew Vaughnwas initially in line to direct one of Fox’s worst-rated movies,X-Men: The Last Stand, but quit back then citing personal reasons (viaBBC). However, in 2023, the director revealed toThe Hollywood Reporterhis real reason for quitting and the apparent disrespect Berry was supposed to be subjected to.

I was like, ‘Wow, you’re going to do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm? I’m out of here.’ So I quit at that point.
Stated Vaughn shocked and perplexed at the idea of the studio pulling a stint like this. While we don’t know what happened to the said script or whether Berry was really disrespected in this manner or not, it is shocking to learn this shocking behind-the-scenes tidbit.
