Halle Berry Says She’s “Sad” Storm Won’t Be in Avengers: Doomsday

Halle Berry has dropped a big update on her beloved Marvel character — but fans might not love it. The Oscar-winning actress confirmed she won’t be appearing as Storm in the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, offering a candid reaction that’s both disappointed but hopeful.

Asked about the swirling speculation over Storm’s return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Berry told ScreenRant, “While I’m sad I won’t be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds.”

Her comments make it official: as Marvel gears up for its biggest crossover event yet — bringing together heroes from across the multiverse — Storm, one of the X-Men’s most iconic members, won’t be part of this chapter despite widespread fan hope and nostalgic momentum.

Berry’s words underscored her feelings about missing the movie, but she didn’t slam the door on future appearances. The phrasing “this round” and “there are other rounds” has already sparked chatter that a later chapter — including potential sequels or even Secret Wars — could still bring her weather-controlling mutant back into the fold.

Her remarks come as the MCU continues to fold in characters from earlier eras, yet choosing not to include Storm this time surprised fans who’ve been clinging to hope for months. Rumors had swirled about a potential reunion with other X-Men legends, but Berry’s quote makes it clear that Doomsday won’t be the moment that happens.

Whether that leaves fans disappointed, or energized by the possibility of an even bigger future return, one thing’s sure — Halle Berry’s Storm is still very much alive in Marvel’s long game, and her absence from Avengers: Doomsday only intensifies the buzz around what comes next.

Should they write Storm back into the upcoming film?
