Halle Berry was tricked into acting in a movie
The Variety, Vaughn revealed at the New York Comic Con event that he had seen a script X-Men 3 on his desk, and it was thicker than he had thought. “I asked what it was and was told ‘Don’t worry about it’. But I still picked it up and looked at the front page and saw that it said ‘Children are dying from lack of clean water, and Storm used her superpowers to save them’“.
Vaughn himself found that episode quite interesting so he asked more about it. At this moment, the answer he received made him stunned: “This is the script for Halle Berry. But she hasn’t signed the contract yet. That episode was her wish, but after she signed the contract, I would throw it in the trash.“.
Vaughn was extremely angry and immediately left, and also refused the offer to direct X-Men: The Last Stand. “I think I would leave immediately if they dared to do that to an actor who won an Oscar“, adds Vaughn.
Later, Halle Berry still participated X-Men: The Last Stand but it is true that there is no scene of saving the children as the other script revealed. The later film directed by Brett Radner was not appreciated for its quality, only enough to break even.
