Halle Berry reveals Storm and Wolverine “used to be lovers” in the X-Men films.

Halle Berry recently revealed to ‘People’ and ‘Entertainment Weekly’ director Jess Cable that she and Hugh Jackman formed a backstory that involved Storm and Wolverine having a relationship at some point in the original films.

“Storm and Logan used to be lovers,” she said. “It’s true. Storm and Logan had a thing.”

There have been a couple moments that lend credence to this possibility. In 2006’s X-MEN: THE LAST STAND there was noticeable tension between both character when Jean went Dark Phoenix on Cyclops and the Professor. “Why can’t you just let her go?” she asked with emotion? “Because you love her.” There were rumors of actual plans to have the two in relations with each other when Matthew Vaughn was originally set to direct that film.

X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST also features a deleted scene where their love is established after the two kiss passionately before Logan “leaves” to change history.

“So, we decided that Storm and Logan had a thing, and then Jean came and messed that up.”

Berry described Storm’s time with Wolverine as “wonderful,” but only “for a time.”

“When he really decided that Jean Grey was his [love] … that caused a problem. The having two girls at once thing, that didn’t work for … that doesn’t work for Storm.”
