First Look at Halle Berry's Storm in 'X-Men: Days of Future Past'

Director
Bryan
Singer
builds
the
anticipation
of
his
upcoming
film
"X-
Men:
Days
of
Future
Past "
by
sharing a picture of Halle Berry, who is
expecting her first child with fiance Olivier
Martinez, as Storm. Posted on Singer's
Twitter account, the shot features the 46-
year-old actress in her all-black costume
that perfectly conceals her baby bump.
For the role, Berry rocks short silver hair
and dons rugged leather costume,
completed with cape or wings to enable
the weather-manipulating character to fly
and travel at the speed of wind. Unlike
the previous Storm costumes, the new
one does not have the "X" insignia on
both the belt and collar.
Singer previously took to Twitter to reveal
the first look at other characters in the
film. Pics of Nicholas Hoult as Beast,
Patrick Stewart as older Charles Xavier
and Shawn Ashmore as Bobby Drake/
Iceman were shared by the 47-year-old
director.
"Days of Future Past " will be based on
Uncanny X-Men #141 and 142 back in
1981 during Chris Claremont and John
Byrne's run. The story introduced the
idea of an alternate future for the Marvel
mutants that grew out of the
Brotherhood of Evil Mutants killing an
important senator, leading to a future
where all mutants are hunted by
Sentinels.
Singer has recently added Adan Canto in
the cast ensemble, which has been filled
with A-list names, including James
McAvoy, Hugh Jackman , Jennifer
Lawrence, Michael Fassbender and Ellen
Page . The Marvel film will hit U.S.
theaters on July 18, 2014.
