Halle Berry got ghosted.

The actress allegedly spoke to Blake Lively about reprising her role as Storm in Deadpool & Wolverine — but Ryan Reynolds didn’t follow up.

“Blake asked me one time,” Berry, 58, claimed in a Monday interview with Comicbook.com. “I ran into her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show [in September 2023].”

At the time, Lively, 36, asked, “Would you ever be in my husband’s movie as Storm?”

Berry replied, “Yeah, if he asked me” — but she told the outlet that the actor, 47, “never asked” her.

Reynolds’ rep has yet to return Page Six’s request for comment.

His and Hugh Jackman’s movie, which premiered on July 26, featured many epic reprisals, from Jennifer Garner as Elektra to Wesley Snipes as Blade.

Even Channing Tatum joined the cast to play Gambit despite his 2019 movie as the Marvel superhero never coming into fruition.

Berry, notably, began playing Storm in 2000 in X-Men.

She continued bringing the character’s story to life in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand in 2003 and 2006, respectively.

Berry last took on the role in 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.

While gushing over the star-studded cameos in Deadpool & Wolverine during the August 5 episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast, director Shawn Levy neglected to mention Berry.

The 56-year-old, however, did explain Taylor Swift’s absence from the film after speculation swirled that she would play Dazzler.

“It was never a conversation,” Levy revealed to listeners. “It was never even a seed of a discussion.”

He also pulled back the curtain on Garner’s character’s poking fun at her real-life ex-husband, Ben Affleck, admitting that the actor did not “vet” the joke about him.
