We'd been warned already that Halle Berry wouldn't be a major part of X-Men: Days of Future Past, since being pregnant is a pretty good excuse not to be flying around doing stunts or using your superpowers. But Bryan Singer has placated Storm fans anyway, thanks to another photo from his Twitter account. Berry is back in leather and white hair on set, and she looks… I mean, she's Halle Berry, so naturally she looks fantastic.
That's a slightly shorter hairdo for Storm than the last time we saw her in X-Men 3: The Last Stand, and a slightly shorter cape, but otherwise she seems to be back in fighting form-- even if most of that fighting might be mental this time. Even though she was one of the last original cast members to sign on for the film, she's promised she'll have an integral role in the action, which finds many of the cast members from the original X-Men trilogy-- Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin and many others-- linked into the timeline established in X-Men: First Class, which starred Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy. It's an enormous cast. It's going to be a whole lot to deal with, and even Singer, who knows the X-Universe as well as anyone, has a serious challenge ahead of him.
But he's also been generous enough to share it, tweeting almost constantly from the set, showing off everything from mo-cap tests to the delightful return of Patrick Stewart. Are we in danger of knowing the entire movie before it comes out? Maybe. But when there are shots of Halle Berry looking fantastic in leather, are you really going to complain ?
