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-Males” films with a bait-and-switch tactic — so claims a movie director who was briefly hooked up to the undertaking.

Matthew Vaughn — well-known for helming “Kick-Ass” and the “Kingsman” films, and who truly ended up happening to direct “X-Males: First Class” years after this alleged incident — advised the story to THR … detailing what he says led to him exiting “X-Males: The Final Stand” means 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 advised him to not fear about — however Vaughn insisted and rifled by way of it … noticing that a whole scene about Halle’s character, Storm, had been added — the place she helps ravenous children in Africa by utilizing her superpowers.

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

Vaughn says, “‘[I went,] ‘What is that this?’ [They said,] ‘Oh, it’s Halle Berry’s script. I went, ‘OK, as a result of she hasn’t signed up but.’ ‘However that is what she needs it to be, and as soon as she indicators up, we’ll throw it within the bin.'” In different phrases, they have been gonna fake to incorporate the scene that Halle needed however then scrap it totally as soon as they bought her to signal on the dotted line.

Vaughn says he was disgusted by this, saying … “I used to be like, ‘Wow, you’re gonna try this to an Oscar-winning actress who performs Storm? I’m outta right here.’ So I stop at that time.”

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