The cast of X-Men: Days of Future Past just keeps getting bigger and more brilliant as the weeks go on. Today, we have the official announcement that Halle Berry WILL be reprising her role as Storm for the movie! She follows Omar Sy (The Intouchables) who was announced to be joining the cast this past Saturday.
The director of X-Men: Days of Future Past, Bryan Singer, announced the casting of Omar Sy and Halle Berry via Twitter much like he did for Peter Dinklage which we reported on here a few weeks ago.
Thrilled to welcome the brilliant #OmarSy from the amazing film #TheIntouchables to the cast of #Xmen #DaysofFuturePast!
