Vaughn spoke about why he dropped out of the third film at last year’s New York Comic Con in October (seen above) and claimed that Berry had been given a fake script so she could sign up for the film.
Berry notably took on the role of Storm (aka Ororo Munroe) in X-Men, which premiered in 2000.
He continued to play the character, who has the power to manipulate the weather and also create thunderstorms, in its sequels.
The third installment of the franchise, from which Vaughn retired, was titled X-Men: The Last Stand and was released in 2006.
At New York Comic Con last October, Matthew explained how executives at Fox, which years later sold its entertainment properties to Disney, produced a fake script that they believed would appeal to the Academy Award-winning actress. the Academy.
‘I thought, if you’re going to do that to an Oscar-winning actress who plays Storm, I’ll let it; I thought, I’m minced meat,” Vaughn said during a panel, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Vaughn said that in an effort to solidify Berry on the project, Fox produced an extended script focusing on Berry’s character, Storm.
It featured a huge sequence at the beginning of the film and story elements that they had no intention of including in the final product.
“One of the main reasons I left X-Men 3, and this is a true story: Hollywood is really political and strange,” the director said.

‘I went to an executive’s office and saw a script for X3. He was much fatter. I asked him, “What is this draft?” They told me, “Don’t worry about it.”
Vaughn said he read a made-up sequence to persuade The Monster’s Ball star to agree to reprise his role in the film franchise.
“I picked it up, opened the first page and it said, ‘Africa. Kids dying from lack of water, and Storm creates a storm to save all these kids. “I thought that was a great idea.”
He continued: ‘I said, “What is this?” They said, “This is Halle Berry’s script, because she hasn’t signed it yet. This is what she wants it to be. And once she signs it, we’ll throw it in the trash.”
Berry would eventually sign on for the film, joining a cast that included Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman, Famke Janssen, Ian McKellen, Kelsey Grammer and Elliot Page.
Vaughn initially replaced X2 director Bryan Singer in the franchise and would eventually be replaced by Brett Ratner for the 2006 film.
The film was a financial success, grossing around $460 million at the global box office.

Berry would return to the film franchise with 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past; and went on to work with Vaughn on Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
A few months earlier, in August, Berry revealed that she almost had the chance to step back into Storm’s shoes in Shawn Levy’s Deadpool & Wolverine, which premiered in July.
During an interview with comicThe Monster’s Ball actress claimed that Blake Lively wanted her to reprise the role.
However, her husband Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool in the film, never approached Halle and asked her to do it.
“Blake (Lively) asked me one time, I ran into her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show and she said, ‘Would you ever be in my husband’s movie as Storm?’ asked for it,” but he never asked me.
