There's a "Storm" coming back to the X-Men franchise, as Deadline reveals that Halle Berry is reprising her role as Ororo Monroe in Days of Future Past -- reuniting her with director Bryan Singer, who wrote and directed the 2000 original and 2003's X2: X-Men United.
The Oscar winner play Storm in all three X-Men films with Sirs Patrick Stewart (Professor X) and Ian McKellen (Magneto), Hugh Jackman (Wolverine), Anna Paquin (Rogue) and Shawn Ashmore (Iceman) -- all of which will appear in the sequel to 2011's X-Men: First Class with returning stars James McAvoy (Charles Xavier/Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Erik Lensherr/Magneto), and Jennifer Lawerence (Raven/Mystique).
Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in 1963, the X-Men are a team of mutant superheroes dedicated to protecting a world that hates and fears them, and doesn't understand them. Xavier believes mutants and humans can peacefully co-exist one day, while Erik believes that mutants are the future and that humanity no longer matter: making Professor X the mutant equivalent of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., while Magneto is the mutant counterpart of Malcolm X.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is set to come out July 18, 2014.
