After final week, one potential Avengers and X-Males team-up feels unattainable to keep away from. With the MCU heading ever nearer towards Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars, hypothesis is operating wild about which characters will and will not seem, in addition to the interactions we’d see between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Marvel’s traditional mutant heroes.
In that vein, there’s one key MCU pairing we must always completely see in a single or each of the upcoming Avengers films. Whereas the chances are nonetheless excessive, current interviews have made a possible Thor and Storm team-up fairly exhausting for Marvel Studios to disregard.
Chris Hemsworth’s Thor and Halle Berry’s Storm NEED An MCU Staff-Up
Throughout final week’s press tour for his or her upcoming film Crime 101, actors Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo had been repeatedly requested whether or not Berry’s Storm would seem in Avengers: Doomsday. Whereas an look from Storm in Doomsday feels unlikely, Secret Wars should be an actual chance primarily based on some extra hopeful feedback from Hemsworth/Berry.
No doubt, Halle Berry’s Storm is without doubt one of the most requested X-Males returns of those that’ve but to be confirmed for Avengers: Doomsday.
It additionally helps that Secret Wars hasn’t but begun filming, with manufacturing anticipated to start in a few months, that means Marvel can pivot if Storm’s inclusion is not already within the works. Whether or not it is already a part of the Doomsday/Secret Wars plan or not, Marvel Studios pairing Hemsworth’s Thor with Berry’s Storm could be all types of epic.
In spite of everything, Thor and Storm’s team-ups within the comics with their shared command over thunder and lightning have all the time been spectacular, so seeing that translated to live-action could be fairly the spectacle (whereas additionally making full use of getting each the Avengers and X-Males in the identical film for the primary time).
Storm Wielded Mjolnir In What If…? (Now Let’s See It In Secret Wars)
Likewise, Marvel has already planted the seeds for Storm/Thor in animation. In Marvel’s What If…? season 3, a variant of Storm who grew to become the Goddess of Thunder was featured, wielding Mjolnir as an immediately iconic multiversal hero.
If Avengers: Secret Wars attracts inspiration from the 2015 comics occasion of the identical title, Storm’s Goddess of Thor may simply debut in live-action (and performed by Berry) as a member of the Thor Corps, the police drive of a number of Thor variants serving God Emperor Doom.
Both method, Halle Berry returning as Storm in any capability could be extremely thrilling, however a team-up/mashup with Thor does take advantage of sense.
Avengers: Doomsday is about to launch on December 18th, 2026 from Marvel Studios.
