- Quick Answer: Chris Hemsworth is actively advocating for Halle Berry’s return as Storm, promising to help bring the iconic X-Men hero into the MCU.
Halle Berry might finally make her long-awaited return as Storm in Avengers: Secret Wars, as suggested recently by Chris Hemsworth.
While most of the cast members from the original X-Men movies are set to return in Avengers: Doomsday, one notable absence in the list is Berry's Storm. It remains to be seen whether her appearance is being kept under wraps, but fans are clamoring for her to return in the iconic role, whether it's in Doomsday or in Secret Wars.
However, thanks to one of the MCU stars, it might become a reality.
Is Halle Berry Returning as Storm in Avengers: Secret Wars?
In a recent interview with CinemaBlend, Berry and Hemsworth, who were both promoting their upcoming film Crime 101, addressed the idea of their Marvel characters, Thor and Storm, appearing together in the movie and the similarities between them.
"I think [Thor would] be like 'Oh, we're the same. We have something in common. The incredible wielding of the weather patterns talent," Hemsworth said.
However, Berry noted that it might be the reason why she is not returning as Storm. She said, "Maybe that's why she's not there. You don't need her. You got Thor. Why do you need Storm?"
Hemsworth promised that Berry would return as Storm in Avengers: Secret Wars.
"No, I'm going to make sure you are in the next one. Everybody wants you there... I'm inviting you," he said to the actress.
While nothing official has been set yet, it looks like Hemsworth will be making an effort to convince Marvel Studios to bring back Berry as Storm in Avengers: Secret Wars.
After all, aside from fans clamoring for her return, Hemsworth is one of the biggest stars in the MCU, and he may have enough influence in how Secret Wars will be shaped. Will he be able to live up to the promise? Only time will tell.
