Halle Berry sports new Storm look

In case there were any lingering questions about it, Halle Berry is most definitely returning to the “X-Men” series. Director Bryan Singer tweeted definitive proof this week, posting a photo from the “X-Men: Days of Future Past” set, of the gorgeous -- and pregnant -- Oscar-winning actress in her full Storm costume.

While the costume still unmistakably proclaims “Storm”, it has some notable differences from the uniform she wore in her previous outings -- where she had a leather outfit sporting the “X” insignia on both the belt and collar. This new costume is much more rugged and less flashy, with its harness-like vest and decidedly less impressive cape/wings.

Storm has never had the same hairstyle from one movie to the next, and “Days of Future Past” has her sporting her shortest hairdo yet. Her white locks were long and flowing in the first two films; by the third film, it was considerably shorter and sharper. Now, Storm looks positively punk rock and low-maintenance with her much less glamorous hairstyle -- cropped to a length she often wears in real life.

Fans will look forward to seeing how Storm fits into the multi-character ensemble that includes the “First Class” lineup of Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult, and Jennifer Lawrence, as well as original cast members Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Daniel Cudmore and Ellen Page. New recruits include Peter Dinklage, Omar Sy and Booboo Stewart.

“X-Men: Days of Future Past” is set to hit theaters on July 18, 2014.
