MEXICO CITY - Halle Berry wants to hang up her superhero costume.
After playing Storm in three “X-Men” movies and the title role in 2004’s “Catwoman,” the 39-year-old actress says: “I think I’m done. I’m fresh out of superheroes at this point.”
Berry was in Mexico City Monday for a screening of her new film, “X-Men: The Last Stand,” which opens May 26.
The movie is the third in a series based on the X-Men comic books about mutant superheroes and villains whose special abilities make them feared by the world’s human majority.
Berry said she wanted to depict a strong woman in her portrayal of Storm, who has the ability to control the weather.

“If I’m only on camera for five minutes, that’s fine, but let it be five meaningful minutes,” said Berry, who won an Oscar for 2001’s “Monster’s Ball.”
“It’s not fun to play a woman that does nothing.”
