It feels like everyone who has ever been in a Marvel movie is coming back for Avengers: Doomsday. It feels that way, but it's not actually true. Not only are plenty of the current roster like Hailee Ste♈infeld or Mark Ruffalo missing, one key figure from the company's past is absent too. Despite most of her X-Men co-stars returning to the fray as they enter the MCU for the first time, Halle Berry was not named on 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the seemingly unending list of chairs. Now we know why: it's because she's noꦜt 𝄹coming back.

It would𝕴've been fine if it had been a male character.
while promoting her upcoming detective movie Crime 101 - which also stars Avengers lead Chris Hemsworth - Berrᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚy was asked about her name not being on the line-up of chairs. "Keep waiting. It's not going to be there. It's not going to be there," Berry said. While she seems fairly relaxed about the question, it's a pretty steadfꦰast answer. This is not a 'never say never' answer, it's just a 'never'.
We don't know if Berry was asked (though can assume she was, given the massive line-up and her importance), and what her reasons might have been for rejecting ꧋said request. But it looks unlikely that those issues will be overcome, and instead, the X-Men will🐠 arrive in the MCU with a notable absentee.
Does The X-Men Work Without Storm?
Berry played Storm in the first three X-Men movies, one of the most iconic characters not just in the X-Men roster, but across all of Marvel. Her absence in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:th🐎e X-Men's glorious return to our screens would feel odd, but it appears we're just going to have to live with it. Alexandra Shipp played the younger Storm in the prequel movies, but given all of the other cast are from the original trilogy, it doesn't seem as if Shipp would be a viable 🌃replacement.

"I'm very aware of the cr൲itiques of the character and my role in it."
We do know that 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:more casting is yet to be revealed, but Storm won't be part of that. More likely it will be Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman (himself an original X-Men, but already somewhat in the MCU via Deadpool Vs Wolverine), the Young Avengers (the aforementioned Steinfeld alongside Xochitl Gomez, Iman Vellani, Joe Locke, and Kathryn Newton), or other big names being kept back for later reveals like the return of Chris Evans or an explanation for why 🃏Brie Larson, star of the last solo billion dollar grosser for the studio, wasn't there to begin with.
If, as some suspect, the X-Men are killed off to make way for a new MCU casting of younger stars, we can expect Storm to be front and centre again. But until then, the X-Men is down a star player. What happens when you drive a truckload of money to Halle Berry's house to ask her to be in your Marvel 𒊎movie? Apparently, not the same thing that happens to everybody else.
