- Halle Berry criticizes X-Men director Matthew Vaughn's resignation for ethical and moral reasons.
- Vaughn claimed that the Catwoman actress received a fake script to persuade her to quit.
- Berry thanked Vaughn for exposing the shady practices in Hollywood.
As reported by The Daily Mail, Vaughn claimed that the Catwoman actress received a faux script featuring an extended storyline for her character to persuade her to agree. “I thought, if you’re going to do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm, I quit,” the director stated. “I felt like I was mincemeat… One of the main reasons I quit X-Men 3 is that Hollywood is really political and odd,” he added.
Recently, Berry reacted to Vaughn’s claims and thanked him for unveiling the shady ingoing in Hollywood. “Ya just never know the shady s*** going on behind ya back!” she wrote in the caption of an Instagram post. “Thank you Matthew Vaughn for bringing the dark to light,” she added.
However, the John Wick actress ultimately starred in X-Men 3 alongside Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Elliot Page, Ian McKellen, James Marsden, Kelsey Grammer, Famke Janssen, and many others. After Vaughn’s resignation, director Brett Ratner took the helm, and the film grossed over $460 million at the global box office.
The actress recently starred in the horror suspense film *Never Let Go*, where she portrayed a mother of two sons on a quest for survival against an evil force. According to the official logline, the film follows a family haunted by an evil spirit for years, and their safety and surroundings come into question when one of the children wonders if the evil is real.
“Never Let Go” premiered in theaters on September 20 and will be available for digital streaming on Amazon Prime and Apple TV+ starting October 11.
