Halle Berry addresses possible X-Men return in Avengers: Doomsday
The actor was notably missing from the list of actors who would appear in Avengers: Doomsday, which is bringing back a number of actors from the films, which were released between 2000 to 2016.
Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen and James Marsden will all reprise their roles as Professor X, Magneto and Cyclops as will Alan Cumming and Rebecca Romijn as Nightcrawler and Mystique, respectively.
Kelsey Grammer will also return as Beast, having shown up in a post-credits sequence for 2024 film The Marvels.
But fans were upset to see Berry's name missing from the credits, with many assuming Storm would be a shoo-in to show up.
However, hope was kept alive when Marvel suggested more names would be confirmed nearer the film's release, with their roles being filmed in secret.
Berry has now shut down the speculation, telling Black Girl Nerds she is 'not going to be there'.
Maintaining that she definitely won't be in the film, she added: 'Keep waiting.'
The fifth superhero movie in the Avengers franchise is scheduled to be released on 1 Mat 2026, seven years after Avengers: Endgame. Filming has begun.
Doomsday 's cast will be led by Robert Downey Jr, the former Iron Man star who is now playing the villain, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson/Falcon, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, Tom Hiddleston as Loki and Paul Rudd as Ant-Man.
Marvel boss Kevin Feige previously addressed the long wait between the fourth and fifth Avengers films, explaining that greater Marvel output on Disney+ has reduced the need for the ensemble blockbusters.
'The truth is, when we were doing Phase One, Phase Two, and Phase Three, there were [fewer] projects over more years. They were smaller projects and individual character stories, and it felt appropriate at that point, that after every two or three years that it took for a phase, we would do an Avengers film,' he told MTV News in 2022.
'As [Phases] Four, Five and Six were coming together, there are more projects in less years — because of all the amazing stuff we're now allowed to do on Disney+, and getting characters from Fox — Fantastic Four and Deadpool – that it felt like, certainly after Infinity War and Endgame, that we thought Avengers movies aren't cappers.'

Huge BBC show with star presenters surprisingly axed after just one series despite hit ratings
The shock decision has been made despite the show landing 3.2million viewers for the series opener IT'S OVER Huge BBC show with star presenters surprisingly axed after just one series despite hit ratings Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) IT was the show that saw former Top Gear hosts Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris get back behind the wheel of a car together - this time searching for a cure to the dreaded mid-life crisis. But I can reveal that Paddy and Chris: Road Trippin' has already been parked after its debut series - with no second outing in the pipeline. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 Paddy and Chris: Road Trippin' has already been parked after its debut series - with no second outing in the pipeline Credit: BBC Which is a surprise given that it enjoyed decent viewing figures when it aired on Sunday nights on BBC One last year with a respectable 3.2m tuning in for the series opener. A TV insider said: 'It certainly wouldn't have helped that just a few weeks before the show began on the Beeb, host Chris was slating the corporation following Freddie Flintoff's horror crash while they were filming Top Gear. 'He said that he'd warned show bosses that someone could be killed or seriously injured on the show claiming producers were devising increasingly 'stupid and dangerous' stunts. 'The timing was not great, but by that stage Road Trippin', which saw Chris reunited with Paddy without Freddie, had already been made and was ready to go out on air.' Paddy has always remained relatively tight-lipped about the Top Gear crash that caused horrific injuries to Freddie in December 2022. Freddie, meanwhile, claimed in his Disney+ documentary that the BBC treated him 'like a piece of meat.' It's understood that the BBC haven't entirely closed the door on doing more shows with Paddy and Chris, though there is nothing on the horizon. Yesterday a Beeb spokesman yesterday confirmed: 'Whilst viewers can enjoy all episodes of Road Tripping on BBC iPlayer now, there are currently no plans for any new episodes at the moment.' THE BBC has confirmed The Celebrity Traitors will air in October, three nights a week for three weeks. It will clash with ITV's new series of Big Brother. A similar show, the BBC's Destination X, is currently beating ITV's The Fortune Hotel with double the ratings.
