Halle Berry responds to a misleading script used to get her to sign onto “X-Men: The Last Stand”: 'shady s---'

The Oscar winner thanked director Matthew Vaughn for "bringing the dark to light."

You know what happens to a Halle Berry who gets burned by Hollywood? The same thing that happens to everything else. She gets pissed.

The Oscar-winning actress took to Instagram to respond to a resurfaced clip of KIngsman director Matthew Vaughn revealing that he quit as director of 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand after discovering the studio had created a fake script to get Berry to sign on as Storm.

"Ya just never know the shady s--- going on behind ya back!" Berry wrote. "Thank you Matthew Vaughn for bringing the dark to light."

Vaughn originally made the comments at his spotlight panel at New York Comic Con last October, recalling how he found out about the threequel's fake script, which emphasized Storm's character more than the previous films had.

"Hollywood is really political and odd. I went into an executive's office, and I saw a script that was a lot fatter," the director said. "I was like, what the hell's this draft? They said, 'don't worry about it.'"

As the director of the film, Vaughn noted it was his job to worry about it and grabbed the script off the exec's desk. He opened to the first page which had a scene featuring Storm saving severely dehydrated children in Africa with a thunderstorm.

"That's a pretty cool idea," Vaughn said. "So I was like, what's this? They said it was the Halle Berry script. 'She hasn't signed on yet, but this is what she wants it to be. So once she signs on, we'll throw it in the bin.' I said, 'Wow, you're going to do that to an Oscar-winning actress? I'm out of here.' So I quit at that point. I figured I was mincemeat."

Vaughn would eventually get to direct an X-Men film, 2011's X-Men: First Class, but was passed over for its sequel, 2014's Days of Future Past because "Hollywood forgot to tell me, after I wrote the damn thing, that Bryan [Singer] got to direct it first."

After that, Vaughn decided he wasn't "mucking around" with Hollywood anymore and went on to do Kingsman: The Secret Service, which in turn launched its own franchise.
