Halle Berry Was Allegedly Duped Into Acting in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’

Halle Berry was allegedly tricked into appearing in one of many “X-Men” films with a bait-and-switch tactic — so claims a movie director who was briefly connected to the challenge.

Matthew Vaughn — well-known for helming “Kick-Ass” and the “Kingsman” films, and who truly ended up occurring to direct “X-Men: First Class” years after this alleged incident — instructed the story to THR … detailing what he says led to him exiting “X-Men: The Last Stand” manner again within the mid-2000s.

Lengthy story quick … Vaughn was employed to direct the second sequel, however for some time — Halle hadn’t truly signed on simply but … regardless of Hugh Jackman and different key actors coming again. Throughout pre-production, MV claims he found duplicity at play from a studio head.

This is how Vaughn explains it … he says he went into one of many execs’ places of work and noticed a brand new ‘X3’ script, which he says he realized was notably fatter. When he requested what it was, he claims the exec instructed him to not fear about — however Vaughn insisted and rifled via it … noticing that a whole scene about Halle’s character, Storm, had been added — the place she helps ravenous children in Africa through the use of her superpowers.

Naturally, Vaughn requested what the heck this was … mentioning this wasn’t the model of the script that’d been ran by him. The response he claims he received again pressured him to bail.

Vaughn says, “‘[I went,] ‘What is this?’ [They said,] ‘Oh, it’s Halle Berry’s script. I went, ‘OK, because she hasn’t signed up yet.’ ‘But this is what she wants it to be, and once she signs up, we’ll throw it in the bin.'” In different phrases, they have been gonna fake to incorporate the scene that Halle wished however then scrap it solely as soon as they received her to signal on the dotted line.

Vaughn says he was disgusted by this, saying … “I was like, ‘Wow, you’re gonna do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm? I’m outta here.’ So I quit at that point.”

He would not title any names right here, however the story is troubling — particularly when you think about Halle did, in reality, act on this movie … and the Storm scene described is nowhere to be discovered.
