Recently, director Matthew Vaughn revealed that he was offered to direct the third installment of the X-Men movies, X-Men: The Last Stand. However, he had to turn it down after learning of the studio's plan to deceive Halle Berry, who was set to play Storm.
Vaughn explained that when he visited an executive's office, he saw the script for X3 and noticed that it was much thicker than he expected. When he asked about it, the executive said that it was Berry's script, and that they'd throw it away once she signed on.
In the script, it was suggested that Storm would create a thunderstorm to save kids in Africa from starvation. While Vaughn thought it was a great idea, he was appalled that the studio execs would try to deceive an Oscar-winning actress. He left soon after and Berry was never promised the scene.
Despite the deception, Berry still appeared in X-Men: The Last Stand and returned for Vaughn's fourth installment of the franchise. It's clear that the two have worked together since, making this story nothing more than a distant memory.
