Halle Berry Says Blake Lively Asked if She’d Reprise Storm in ‘Deadpool & Wolverine.’ She Answered ‘Yes’ as Long as Ryan Reynolds Called: ‘But He Never Asked Me’

Halle Berry says Ryan Reynolds did not ask her to play Storm in "Deadpool & Wolverine" after Blake Lively floated the idea to her.

Halle Berry revealed in a recent interview with ComicBook.com while promoting her upcoming Netflix movie “The Union” that she was never asked by Ryan Reynolds to reprise her “X-Men” movie role of Storm in “Deadpool & Wolverine.” The record-breaking Marvel blockbuster featured the surprise returns of several heroes from Fox’s Marvel era, from Jennifer Garner’s Elektra to Wesley Snipes’ Blade. She’s been open in past interviews about clashing with “X-Men” and “X2” director Bryan Singer on set during the making of the comic book films, famously firing back at him during one argument: “You can kiss my Black ass.” The director revealed last year that he rejected the offer to direct “The Last Stand” after discovering a studio executive’s plan to deceive Berry into reprising her role as Storm.
