While Avengers: Doomsday’s cast already includes 26 Marvel heroes facing off against Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom, speculation is growing about another surprise appearance. This buzz was triggered by an interaction between Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry during a BBC Radio 1Xtra interview, hinting at the potential return of Storm to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The conversation has reignited excitement around the possibility of Berry reprising her iconic role.
Currently promoting their 2026 project, Crime 101, Hemsworth and Berry were questioned by BBC radio host Nadia Jae about the likelihood of Storm’s comeback in the MCU multiverse. The pair’s awkward silence and nervous laughter suggested they might be withholding information, sparking further anticipation among fans.
“Yeah, I would love to. But, you know… First of all, I love Storm. I love Storm so much, like so many people. She’s a beloved character, and she’s one of my favorites, and I’m so proud of playing that character. So, yeah I would come back for sure.”

Berry has openly expressed enthusiasm to return as Storm in recent years. She once shared that when meeting Blake Lively, Lively asked if Berry was interested in projects related to Deadpool and Wolverine. Berry admitted she would have been willing, but never received a call from the Deadpool actor. With the upcoming wave of Avengers films, the timing might finally be right for Berry’s Storm to reemerge.
Factors Supporting Storm’s Inclusion in Avengers: Doomsday or Secret Wars
There are strong reasons to believe that Storm could feature in Avengers: Doomsday or its follow-up, Secret Wars. Several original X-Men actors are already confirmed to return in Doomsday, including Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier, Ian McKellen as Magneto, Alan Cumming as Nightcrawler, Rebecca Romijn as Mystique, and James Marsden as Cyclops. These characters even have a dedicated teaser, highlighting their significant role in the film’s storyline.
The presence of many returning X-Men veterans sets the stage for Storm’s comeback to feel natural and exciting. Marvel often reserves a few surprise moments for fans, and Storm would provide a memorable reveal. Although she has not been officially announced, Berry’s potential cameo would be an impactful addition, either in Doomsday or possibly in Avengers: Secret Wars if not introduced in the former.
The anticipation continues to build as Avengers: Doomsday’s December 18 release approaches. Thanks to the interaction between Hemsworth and Berry, hopes remain high that the beloved character Storm will make a triumphant return, adding another layer of depth and excitement to the Marvel multiverse.
