Halle Berry cut from X-Men: Days of Future Past

Yet another victim of the cutting floor.

It was first announced that Anna Paquin (Rogue) had been cut entirely from X-Men: Days of Future Past and that we would most likely only see her on the DVD/Blu-Ray. We now learned that Halle Berry (Storm) has also been cut. Well, at least been cut down to just one scene.

This hasn't been officially announced as Paquin's cut was, but I would assume director Bryan Singer will cite the same problem; the movie is running too long. He cited irrelevance, confusion, and running too long as reason to cut Rogue out of the movie. This comes just shy of two month prior to the release of X-Men: Days of Future Past and after all the Empire covers showcasing the new and returning mutants.
Some are suggesting that Berry's pregnancy had to do with this move in the end due to the fact that she was unable to be as active as they would have liked and there was some visibility of a baby bump. Berry has already admitted to the pregnancy limiting her movement because shooting conflicted with the timing.

All I have to say is I hope the cutting is over with. If they cut any more returning mutants I don't understand why they brought them back in the first place. Not acceptable.

X-Men: Days of Future Past stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Omar Sy, Evan Peters, and Nicolas Hoult. The film brings back mutants such as Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellan, Hugh Jackman, and more. It hits theaters on May 23rd.

Another image from Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past has surfaced. This time it is of Halle Berry showing off her costume and look for Storm. A little different but not bad.

Monday news for X-Men; Halle Berry confirmed to return

Couple things for X-Men: Days of Future Past today.

1. Halle Berry has been officially confirmed to return to reprise the role of Storm. It was rumored before but now it's official. This also adds to the speculation of which role Omar Sy will be playing. The guess is he will play Bishop who is pretty closely tied with Storm. There is no telling how much screentime Storm will have or in what situation she is returning at this time.

2. Jennifer Lawrence doesn't have to worry about being painted blue from head to toe this time around. It was revealed that Mystique's look will be a body suit this time around. The suit will cover Lawrence's body from the neck down. The change is evidently due to the time it took to apply the makeup to Lawrence (8 hours a day) and also the fact that she broke out in rashes and boils due to the makeup.


So yeah... Storm is returning and Mystique will be a suit.
