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 on Monday, posting a pic from the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" set that features the gorgeous and pregnant Oscar-winning actress in her full Storm costume.
That costume may look familiar -- indeed, it unmistakably proclaims "STORM!" with a crack of lightning and boom of thunder. But it has some notable differences from the uniform she wore in her previous "X-Men" outings. In "X-Men" (2000), "X2" (2003) and "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006), Storm had a much more official-looking outfit, one made of leather (natch) and sporting the "X" insignia on both the belt and collar. This new costume is much more rugged and less flashy, coming across as kind of an "extreme sports" version of the outfit with its harness-like vest and decidedly less impressive cape/wings.

Tony Stark and his 42 Ironman Suits
Did you know that Tony Stark has 42 suits in Ironman 3?
In a new behind-the-scenes clip, Robert Downey Jr., Marvel’s Kevin Feige, and Iron Man 3 director Shane Black discuss Tony Stark's obsession with building up an artillery of Iron Man suits.
“At the beginning of this movie there are 42 suits,” says Black in the one-and-a-half-minute featurette. “He’s been doing nothing but building suits and suits and suits and suits. It’s an obsession.” adds Feige. The film’s suit construction supervisor, Lindsay MacGowan (the real genius behind Stark’s well-armoured wardrobe), shows off the first seven Iron Man getups and Downey introduces the new bomb disposal suit as well as the pinnacle of his character’s life’s work, the Mark 42 (controlled by sub-dermal implants with more advanced technological capabilities than the kind favoured by today’s body modification enthusiasts).

‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’: New Stills Feature a Contemplative Katniss
Two new official stills from the upcoming "Hunger Games" sequel have been released, featuring a Katniss Everdeen who's traded her crossbow for a deep sense of dark contemplation.
It's only been a little over a year since the release of the original "Hunger Games," but star Jennifer Lawrence actually looks considerably older in the new pics from "Catching Fire." Maybe it's because we now see her more as "a woman" due to her Oscar-winning turn in "Silver Linings Playbook" than as the teenage heroine of a YA adaptation, but more likely it's because that Katniss herself has grown in leaps and bounds since co-winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games … and is about to embark on an even more deadly and taxing challenge.
