According to Bryan Singer, Angela Bassett was originally offered the part of Storm before production began on the original X-Men, but she demanded an obscene amount of money and they went with Berry.

Storm is my favorite character in the X-Men family, and I'm happy that Berry stood up for herself and told producers to give her character a more substantial part in the movie other than one or two lines intermittenly. According the the makers, she is an integral part of TLS, and I couldn't be happier.

You may still get the chance. They have hinted that this may not be it. They are promoting it as the last act of a trilogy and want to see how people react to the new director taking over for Singer. I think if this movie does well or better then the first they will do more but it all depends. Berry has said this is it for her and Jackman is doing his Wolverine spinoff but did say he would be back. All the cast is up for renewals but they did say the actor playing Juggernaut in this film has been signed through a possible 6th fil so who knows.

This movie looks great and is my number one film to see. I am an X-Men die hard and I heard this film is supposed to be epis, emotional, character driven, and action packed. They are trying to make it so the X-Men show more of their powers and so that diehards get their dream film. Famke Janessen is going to rock this film!!!

I'd've dished out the money for Angela over Halle. Halle just does not do that character justice. Ororo Munroe is supposed to be this kick ass regal figure, and Halle doesn't give her that. Angela can play the tough, take no [!@#$%^&*] attitude that Storm has.

My favorites are Magneto and Wolverine so I'm been happy with the two movies. I'm sure they'll be showcased a lot in X3 too and I can't wait for their prequels.

So can Halle. They just haven't given her anything to do in X1 and X2.

I agree. Love the dynamic between Jean/Scott/Logan. I know that with James Marsden in a major role for Superman, that he will have only a limited role in the film unfortunately. I just hope they don't screw up the Dark Phoneix Saga (BTW, Marvel has re-released the original Dark Phoenix Saga in a graphic novel. Check your local bookstore).

    • Lol, I enjoy classical music and I really think Gio is a talented musician.  I just don't know if it's the soundstage they are filming it on or what, but it sounds so screechy on TV.  I don't recall all his performances sounding like that. Rocco-"this was all my fault not Gio's or even Danny's.  No one made me drink.  I am being accountable". Dante-"Nope still 100% GIO's FAULT!!!" Just shut it Dante! Alexis and Lucky deserve more than having to protect Kristina's crazy butt. I like Cody and Lulu teaming up.  Finally someone is agreeing with Lulu.  
    • After watching the performances tonight I can't understand why Finland and Malta are seen as some of the favourites. Finland's song is not one of the best this year and I maintain that Miriana Conte who represents Malta is a poor singer. My guess is that it's because of the controversial nature of both these songs. I'm not all that impressed with Austria either. But France on the other hand emerged as a big contender tonight. A beautiful song, a wonderful singer and fantastic staging. Greece also had a spectacular stage show which definitely enhanced their chances. I guess it's part nostalgia factor but I really want Luxembourg to go through to the final as well. I love the homage to France Gall and Laura Thorn sold the song very well. Much better than in the clip from the national final.
    • The older Ted was more unlikeable. The character came across warmer and mo sympathetic today whereas the older one portrayed him with a dark side. Thats why I said his scenes with Leslie will tell alot bc thats where he comes across the most like a villain and had me feeling bad for her at times
    • I completely agree @Soaplovers with your excellent comment.  And the bold, confident Stephanie we saw in her previous incarnations would be a much better match for Alex than the one trying to play house too soon. Let’s not forget: Alex came on the scene as a walking red flag with a gym membership—dodging commitment in love and work. And now he’s out here giving career advice? From a man whose last job was playing a soap star no one in Salem has even heard of? Sir. What I’d love is for Stephanie to be a genuine challenge for him—not someone who bends to his charm, but someone who knows she’s the prize. She’s a free agent in Salem: no ex-husband drama, no kid in tow, no awkward family entanglements. Let her be more like Kayla now—centered, respected, and not here for games—than Kayla was when she was falling off motorcycles with Steve. The next great Salem love story shouldn't be about chemistry alone. It should be earned—like Patch and Kayla, Shane and Kim, or even Bo and Hope on their best days. Give us slow burn, mutual respect, and a Stephanie who makes him level up.
    • It's looking like I may be in the minority, but nuTed is a major improvement to me. I agree, it will take a few days to get used to the higher pitched voice and smaller stature, but his acting is so much better. I can feel the emotions in his voice and face and it just feels more real and natural.  Kat was great today too, giving us the tears and her softer side. Loved Leslie/Bill - we need more of this!  Did y'all notice Leslie's snake necklace?? So creepy, but fitting for her haha. Tomorrow should be an updated intro with Keith, unless they repeat the second one for days until they get it updated.
    • Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! ✌

    • It was all about Gio today, boys

      He was really sweet and dorky though, and I enjoyed the violin lol. And he looked good too  I'm speculating that the big reveal will happen at Gio's birthday party. It's definitely time. But yeah, he really should've gotten advice and encouragement from someone, from anyone other than Sonny though. And while I understand where Dante is coming from, he was a little annoying today again. They really needed to establish this tension and anger a lot sooner than now, or not do it at all. Plus, this had already been done with Mac/Cody, Nina/Willow, etc., and honestly, it doesn't seem necessary here.  As for Lucky and Liz, as much as I like angsty couples, I'm still concerned about what Frank may (or may try to) do with them. The biggest reason why Lucky is like a 'cowboy' is because this friggin guy spent the better part of a decade basically erasing him from existence.
    • True, lol. IIRC, Rita Moreno said in an interview that part of the problem was that Susan Harris was ill during the week they taped that episode and therefore was unable to make needed script changes.  I wonder what might have happened had they been able to delay the taping until she felt well enough to work more on the script.  I feel like "Nest" might've sold with Moreno and Paul Dooley (although the patient with DID would've needed to be eighty-sixed regardless, lol).
    • What is the most recent episode in which Maurice Johnson's Ted wore a turtleneck?
