Storm actor Halle Berry addresses the "shady" circumstances about her return in
X-Men: The Last Stand.
On Instagram, Halle Berry shares a video analysis from popculturebrain, which dissects director Matthew Vaughn"s anecdote about quitting X-Men: The Last Stand. According to Vaughn, 20th Century Fox added a fake opening sequence to X-Men: The Last Stand, where Halle Berry"s Storm summons rain in Africa to provide water to starving children. However, this scene was allegedly included with the sole purpose of enticing Berry to join the project, after which the sequence would be scrapped. Halle Berry captions her post, "Ya just never know the shady sh*t going on behind ya back! Thank you Matthew Vaughn for bringing the dark to light." Watch the video below:
I went into one of the executives" offices and I saw an X3 script, and I immediately knew it was a lot fatter. I was like "what the hell is this draft?" And they went "don"t worry about that". I"m like "yeah, I"m the director, and I"m worrying about this draft. Tell me what it is, please." He wouldn"t tell me.
And it seems like a crazy moment, but I grabbed it, opened the first page, and it said "Africa. Storm. Kids dying of no water. She creates a thunderstorm and saves all these children." Alright, that"s a pretty cool idea. What is this?
And they went "Oh, it"s the Halle Berry script. Because she hasn"t signed up yet. This is what she wants it to be. But once she signs up, we"ll throw it in the bin." And I was like "Wow, you"re going to do this to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm?" I"m out of here. So I quit at that point.
