Not that this is unexpected, but it’s still great to have it straight from the horse’s mouth, as the saying goes: Halle Berry will return to “X-Men” as Storm in Bryan Singer’s movie.

Word of this has been making the rounds online for months, with buzz picking up considerably when confirmation came that Singer had already contacted the “old” cast for cameos alongside the new one.

“I'm in. I think I'm in,” Halle says, confirming that she too is on board.

“I am [excited], yeah. I love Storm. That's one of my favorite characters that I've played. And people love that character as well,” she adds.

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” stars Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and James McAvoy, and includes cameos from Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart and Hugh Jackman.

It will be out in theaters next year.
