While attending the red carpet premiere for Netflix’s ‘The Union‘, Berry candidly revealed to Comicbook that she was never officially approached to return as Storm. The news came as a surprise to many, considering the film’s abundance of cameos. Moreover, the natural synergy between her character and Wolverine would’ve been iconic.
“No,” Berry stated when asked about any discussions regarding her return. “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,” she added.
It’s a classic case of a missed opportunity. Imagine the electric chemistry between Berry’s Storm and Ryan Reynolds‘ Deadpool. The possibilities were endless. Moreover, fans are undoubtedly left wondering what could have been.
