Halle Berry Quashes X-Men Storm Comeback for Avengers: Doomsday

Halle Berry has confirmed she will not reprise her role as Storm in the upcoming film Avengers: Doomsday, much to the disappointment of fans hoping for her return to the MCU. During an event at CinemaCon, when asked about her potential involvement, Berry humorously responded, "keep waiting. Not gonna be there." While the recent casting announcement for Avengers: Doomsday revealed many iconic X-Men actors like Kelsey Grammer and Patrick Stewart returning, it appears Berry's Storm will not be among them. Fans were eager for her return since her last appearance in the X-Men franchise but will need to accept she won't feature in this highly anticipated Marvel film.

In addition to her role in the X-Men series, where she first appeared as Storm in 2000, Berry's character has become iconic over the years. Despite hopes for an MCU debut, it seems Berry's upcoming film Crime 101 will be her next project. Avengers: Doomsday is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026, aiming to bring a culmination of beloved characters from the X-Men universe.
