Halle Berry says Blake Lively asked her to be in ‘Deadpool 3’ — but she ‘never’ heard from Ryan Reynolds
ComicBook that she wasn’t asked to reprise her role as Ororo Munroe/Storm in Marvel’s cameo-filled “Deadpool and Wolverine.”The 58-year-old actress claimed that lead star Ryan Reynolds’ wife Blake Lively even asked her about joining the film.“Blake asked me one time, I ran into her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show, and she said, ‘Would you ever be in my husband’s movie as Storm?’ I said, ‘Yeah, if he asked me,’ ” Berry said, adding, “but he never asked me.”Berry played the iconic weather-controlling superhero in “X-Men” (2000), “X2: X-Men United”(2003), “X-Men: The Last Stand”(2006) and“X-Men: Days of Future Past”(2014).Her co-star Hugh Jackman returned as Wolverine in the third “Deadpool” movie.The film includes numerous appearances from Marvel’s Fox characters, including Jennifer Garner’s Elektra, Wesley Snipes’ Blade, Chris Evans’ Human Torch, Dafne Keen’s Laura/X-23 and Aaron Stanford’s Pyro.Channing Tatum also appeared as Gambit, a role he was supposed to play before Disney bought 20th Century Fox.Other “X-Men” characters like Toad, Juggernaut, Psylocke, Lady Deathstrike and Blob also pop up in the movie.Director Shawn Levy talked about the decision to include all the cameos in “Deadpool and Wolverine” during a recent interview on “The Official Marvel Podcast.”“The vibe on set was a party. We wanted to play with this theme of ‘legacy,’ ” said Levy, 56.
