New Rumor Claims Many Actors Are Still in Negotiations to Join AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY Including Halle Berry as Storm

Last week, Marvel rolled out a huge cast list for their upcoming epic ensemble event film, Avengers: Doomsday, but even with this impressive reveal, many figured there were still some names yet to be revealed.

Marvel confirmed this hunch after the reveal, when Robert Downey Jr. took to social media, writing: “That’s what u call a deep bench of talent… actually it’s more like a row, but an extra long one… That must be it… right?” Marvel’s official account responded with a knowing tease, stating: “There’s always room for more.”

This was good to hear for fans of many other character who were hoping for their returns. I’m sure not everyone will be included, but one character who seems to be looking at a return is Halle Berry’s X-Men persona, Storm. Many other X-Men were announced, but we didn’t see her name quite yet.

Industry scooper Daniel Richtman says that Berry is now close to finalizing her deal for a return as Storm in Avengers: Doomsday. It’s been reported that many actors who were not yet announced are still negotiating the deals for their returns.

Last September, Comic Book asked Berry if she thought she might return to play Storm again, and she coyly responded, "[Shrugs] You never know. We'll find out! [Laughs]"

Avengers: Doomsday is set to be released in May 2026, with Avengers: Secret Wars scheduled to arrive in May 2027. Are you looking forward to seeing Berry return?
