'X-Men' New Movie News: Halle Berry Onboard for a Storm Solo Film

With the expansion of the cinematic 'X-Men' universe with prequel and solo films, one must wonder if the studio ever plans to return to the old cast to spin-off some more solo efforts.

This question was posed to actress Halle Berry who played Storm in the previous movies. While her role as a supporting character was never truly challenged, she was asked in an interview with Deadline how interested would she be to see her character truly fleshed out in a solo movie.

"In a heartbeat," Berry says. "In a heartbeat I would do a Storm movie. I love that character through and through. So if that ever became an opportunity for me if it's before I'm 65-years old I would absolutely do that."

With projects like this it would largely rely on the fans' response to the idea she explains.

"Well, I think they should do it," she continues. "If the fans want that the fans need to speak up and I'm sure it would be a possibility. If Fox felt like they could make money off of a Storm movie I'm sure they would do it."

Berry isn't slated to appear in any more X-Men films in the future as the series appears to be slightly rebooting with younger characters, so this project may be the last fans would get to see the actress in the role.

Berry also addressed her take on female representations in superhero films:

"I think it's really important that we keep forging ahead. Being women of color, not necessarily letting our color precede us but just search out strong, character-driven, complicated roles that we can play. We no longer have to be in the background or be the sidekicks. If we continue to fight for those kinds of roles knowing that at the same time you're going to have to face a certain amount of failure or ridicule. Any time you risk big you often risk losing big. You can win big but you can also lose big, but you have to be willing to take those risks.

"I think I've always been willing to take those risks to move us forward, especially women and then women of color. Sometimes it's worked out and sometimes it hasn't but it doesn't mean that every try hasn't been worth it. That's what evolution is. Sometimes you don't get it right but it doesn't mean you stop."
