Halle Berry revealed she was never formally asked by Ryan Reynolds to reprise her role as Storm in the new Deadpool & Wolverine movie, despite an informal inquiry by Reynolds' wife, Blake Lively. Berry explained that while Lively approached her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show, Reynolds himself never followed up with an official offer. The movie features several cameos from other X-Men characters but notably excludes Berry's Storm and Patrick Stewart's Charles Xavier. Directed by Shawn Levy, the film has received mixed reviews from critics. Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprised their roles as Deadpool and Wolverine, respectively. Berry starred as Storm in four X-Men films alongside Jackman's Wolverine.
