Halle Berry, the renowned actress, took on the iconic role of Storm in the beloved X-Men franchise. In a recent revelation, Halle opened up about the chaos that took place behind the scenes during the making of X-Men 3. She shared with her fans that there's always some shady stuff going on behind your back that you may never know about.
Released in 2006, X-Men: The Last Stand featured an all-star cast including Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Ian McKellen. The film was a huge success, grossing over $459 million worldwide. However, a recent video shared by Halle has shed some light on the drama that occurred during its production.
In the clip, from New York Comic Con last October, the original director of the film, Matthew Vaughn, revealed the shocking reason behind his decision to quit the project. He disclosed that one of the main reasons for his departure was the Fox executives' plot to deceive Halle into signing on by giving her a fake script.
Matthew candidly expressed, "I don't care if I'm not supposed to say it, but Hollywood is a very political and strange place. I went into one of the executive's offices and saw an X3 script that was a lot fatter than the one I had been given. I immediately knew something was off." He went on to explain that the unnamed executive refused to show him the script, and when he finally managed to get his hands on it, he realized it was completely different from the one he was given. It described a scene where Storm saves children in Africa by creating a thunderstorm - a concept that Matthew found intriguing.
But when he asked about the script, the executive allegedly told him it was a fake one to appease Halle until she signed on, after which it would be discarded. This incident shocked Matthew, and he decided to leave the project, stating, "If they could do that to an Oscar-winning actress like Halle Berry, who plays Storm, then I don't want to be a part of it. I quit."
Halle, in response to the video, shared it on her social media and thanked Matthew for bringing this dark truth to light. Fans were taken aback by the allegations and expressed their disappointment. Some even stated that the movie would have been better if the alleged fake scene had been included.
Many praised Matthew for standing up to the executives, while others saw this as the perfect opportunity for a solo Storm movie. Fans took to social media, calling for Halle to reprise her role and for Marvel Studios to make a Storm film.
Although Matthew was replaced by Brett Ratner as the director for X-Men 3, he and Halle later reunited in 2014 while working on Kingsman: The Golden Circle. It seems like their working relationship has stood the test of time.
This revelation has sparked conversations and discussions among fans, and it's clear that there is still a lot of love for Halle and her portrayal of Storm. As the saying goes, "there's always more than meets the eye," and this incident has proved it once again.
