Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry is at San Diego Comic-Con to promote the return of her sci-fi hit series Extant.

X-fans will see Berry in the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past – The Rogue Cut but would love to hear her say she’s playing Ororo one more time.

Alexandra Shipp is playing a younger version of the future mutant hero in X-Men: Apocalypse which is set in the 1980’s.

As Fox continues to mutate the film franchise (Deadpool, New Mutants, Gambit, Wolverine) would she ever return for a Storm solo spinoff? Continue reading HALLE BERRY On STORM Movie

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST Wants James Marsden, Halle Berry?

  Director Bryan Singer really is getting the old gang back together for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and Hugh Jackman will reprise their roles in the sequel.  Movieweb reports that 20th Century Fox wants Halle Berry and James Marsden back for the next movie. I had predicted Halle Berry could be next to reprise her role as Storm but Marsden is a welcome surprise.

In the comic book version of Days of Future Past:

   In a future ruled by Sentinels – Storm, Magneto, Colossus, Kate “Kitty” Pryde, Rachel Summers (daughter of Scott and Jean) and Franklin Richards (son of Reed and Sue of the Fantastic Four) are in a concentration camp. Logan leads the resistance movement. Rachel (has telepathic powers like her mother) sends Kitty’s mind into the past to warn the X-Men of the past about an upcoming act of terrorism by evil mutants that will start a chain of events leading to the dark future. While the past X-Men try to stop the assassination – the future Logan, Storm, Magneto and Colossus lead an assault on Sentinel Headquarters. The final battle of the older X-Men is epic!

Could this mean Daniel Cudmore and Ellen Page could return as Colossus and Kitty since those characters are critical to the storyline? Famke Janssen (Jean Grey) could have a cameo too.

Cyclops was killed by Jean (in Dark Phoenix mode) and Jean was killed by Wolverine in The Last Stand but if producers decide to use Rachel in the movie this could be a way to erase those deaths (and Professor X’s death.)

I’ve been hoping this film could serve as a reboot for the entire franchise (like Star Trek) and you can start over.
