Halle Berry hopes to play Storm in future Marvel movies amid the character being absent from Avengers: Doomsday.

The Oscar-winning actress - who played the weather-controlling superhero from 2000 to 2014 in X-Men movies - is devastated that she will not join a string of names from the X-Men universe in the upcoming sci-fi-action movie.

However, Berry, 59, would jump at the chance to reprise her alter ego in future film reunions.

She told ScreenRant: "While I'm sad I won't be in Doomsday this round, there are other rounds. And I would do that in a heartbeat."

Berry expressed how proud she is to have been a part of the X-Men universe.

The star - who has daughter Nahla, 17, with her 49-year-old ex-husband, fashion model Gabriel Aubry, and son Maceo-Robert, 12, with her 60-year-old former spouse, actor Olivier Martinez - said: "I think the whole world of the X-Men and being mutants and outcasts.

"And there've been movies that I've been proud to have my children watch. They have so much to say that I thought has been really important, especially for my children as they've grown. So they're beloved."

Berry played Storm - also known as Ororo Munroe - in 2000's X-Men, 2003's X2: X-Men United, 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, and 2014's X-Men: Days of Future Past.
