Well, wasn’t that nice of her! All that talk about playing a superhero being beneath her and not worthy of an actress of her caliber was all a ploy to get Storm a more meaningful role so the fans would be satisfied! Personally, I don’t care why she complained, but let’s not try to insult peoples’ intelligence - it was about money and ego, and that’s cool! We’d all be annoyed too if we were the big name actor that got shunted off to the side in the peak of our career while some semi-names got all the screentime.

“I threatened all that, but I didn’t really mean it,” Berry says with a sly grin on the release of X-Men: The Last Stand.

“I just wanted, not more screen time, but if I’m going to be on for five minutes, I say something meaningful for five minutes. Not just, ‘C’mon kids, let’s go fly that plane!’

“The fans told me for four years straight that they wanted more of her, and I took the heat for that demand.”

In this case, the squeaky wheel did get the grease. Not only is Storm a stand-out character, but in an early scene of this ostensibly final instalment of the X-Men Trilogy, X-Men leader Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart) takes Storm aside and tells her she’s in line to inherit his post as head of Xavier’s School For Gifted Youngsters should anything happen to him.
