X-Men: 15 Deleted Scenes Every Fan Needs To See

By Mike Morgan /

11. Storm Had An African Accent Originally

The first X-Men movie could have been very different. And not in a good way. Try imagining Storm with a really bad generically African accent. Then play the above video; the accent is even worse than anyone could reasonably expect. Thankfully, the whole idea of Halle Berry trying to fake being from a never-specified African country was dropped, and she went with her own accent. That change may not have been true to the character, but it was a lot less embarrassing for both the actress and X-fans. (Keep watching the video after Storm's "I'm from Africa, just listen to the stilted way I'm talking" scenes finish. The other deleted scenes for the first film are also included.)
