Will Storm & Nightcrawler join ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’?

Director Bryan Singer tells MTV that he’s not sure (yet) if Halle Berry will reprise her role as Storm in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. “I can’t say. I don’t know yet.” said Singer. “It’s not necessarily a deal making aspect at all. I want to make sure it’ll make sense. But I love working with her.”

Storm was last seen taking over as headmistress for Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters in X3. Her comic book counterpart was also featured in Marvel’s original “Days of…” arc.

“Every character has a very important function in the story,” Singer said when asked about the characters in the film. “The story is designed and catered to the combined cast. It’s not just throwing in people to occupy the screen, occupy the billboards. The story ‘Days of Future Past’ and our version of ‘Days of Future Past’ is geared very much toward the mass cast and all their relationships and all their foibles and their achievements.”

And what about Alan Cumming returning as fan-favorite mutant Nightcrawler? When asked by The Huffington Post, Singer played coy, saying…

“I don’t know. We’ll see. You know… we’ll see.” he said. “Sometimes you don’t want to say “yes” or “no” to something that may not be a “yes” or a “no,” or anything. I haven’t decided yet, a few things. I’m still, you know — there are certain aspects of the script that I’m still toying with.”

Confirmed cast members include James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Ellen Page, Anna Paquin, Shawn Ashmore, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman. With a cast like that, might as well add Halle and Alan to the mix!

So really what he said was Storm-No and nightcrawler-Yes

Bryan is really good at surprising us.. Hoping Storm and Nightcrawler are there.. but im with Nightcrawler so bad..

storm please it not goin to be right with out her.You have everyone comin back just not goin to look right. She the leader of the xmen last time i saw x3

This feels stupid !!! Bryan Singer has been bragging all this time that he wants an X-MEN movie that needs to be conected and that makes sense.. but it doesn’t make sense at ALL that STORM will not be feature in DOFP !!! Knowing that STORM is the soul of the X-MEN (Professor X said that in X-Men Next Dimenssion).. knowing that STORM took over the X-MANSION at the end of THE LAST STAND.. and above all knowing that STORM is feature in the DOFP COMIC BOOK ARC !!!!!! It’s STUPID and UNFAIR !!!!

Her presence in the movie may not necessarily provide anything useful though.. Plus, there’s also the fact that Halle is probably asking for an insane amount of money. They may not have the budget to bring her back considering all the big names who are already signed on.

hydro thank you for sayin that

So will outdo X3 in terms of budget for this one… just look at he lineup. I bet Halle will ask not less than 20 million… So what’s going to be the budget for this one? 300 million? 400 million?

Storm needs to be in this movie. Singer better not mess this up. I need Storm!

We have no idea of what might gonna happen.. so Mr. Singer if you reading this.. Look what you’ve done to us!

I still need Storm though, even if she’s expensive.. and Nightcrawler 🙂
