Avengers: Doomsday
Speaking with Screen Rant, Halle Berry discussed her disappointment Storm isn’t returning for Avengers: Doomsday.
Yeah, I love that. Storm is a very special character to me. I’ve been so blessed when I gotten to play her. I think the whole world of the X-Men and being mutants and outcasts. And there’ve been movies that I’ve been proud to have my children watch. They have so much to say that I thought has been really important, especially for my children as they’ve grown. So they’re beloved. And while I’m sad I won’t be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
Appearing on a recent episode of The Playlist’s Bingeworthy podcast (via Deadline), Vincent D’Onofrio explained why Wilson Fisk doesn’t appear as the Mayor of New York in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
No. I think I’ll just wait until they have the rights to my character and they put me in one of those movies, and then I’ll figure it all out.
