Halle Berry has revealed she would love to return to her role as Storm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With Disney’s acquisition of Fox, few Marvel Comics properties are now outside of the ever-expanding reach of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. One superhero team that has been conspicuously absent from the MCU so far is the X-Men; however, that might soon change, as the Mutants are set to make a return to Disney’s cinematic universe sometime in the near future.
Even if they haven’t appeared in the MCU, that doesn’t mean the X-Men have been entirely absent from the big screen. On the contrary, the newest saga portraying a younger generation of Mutants has enjoyed some decent success, even if Dark Phoenix meant the final nail for the franchise. Starting with 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse, Storm, one of the original X-Men, has been portrayed by Alexandra Shipp.
However, fans of the early 2000s trilogy of X-Men films will always remember Halle Berry as the original Storm. Her portrayal gave the character a certain air of royalty that’s perfectly aligned with Storm’s character in the comics. Being one of the most recognizable members of the X-Men also means that Storm might be coming soon to the MCU.
Halle Berry has recently voiced her interest in returning to play Ororo Munroe, aka Storm, in the MCU. In an interview with Vanity Fair, the 55 years-old actress said that she’d be thrilled to portray Storm again in the MCU, as long as they could introduce the character in a way that would make sense.
