No need to cry a river, Marvel Comics fans: There will be plenty of Storm in X-Men: Days of Future Past!

Director Bryan Singer quashed the rumors claiming Halle Berry's character had been cut from all but one scene of the film. When Digital Spy tweeted the X-Men exec, asking, "are the rumors about Storm being cut down to just 1 scene true? :(," he answered answered bluntly, without wasting any words, "No."

The New York Daily News claimed last week that Storm "only has one line in the whole movie," and that Berry wasn't going to find this out until X-Men: Days of Future Past hits theaters in May. A source told E! News this was "simply not true."

Whew. The Oscar winner has been quite a target for the rumor mill lately, though. There were reports last week that she and and hubby Olivier Martinez were heading for a split, but, once again, a source told E! News, "Nothing is further from the truth."

"They are both working and living happily as a married couple and as parents of a newborn [son Maceo was born in October 2013], which inherently means you don't go out a lot," added the source.

And they have both been busy! Berry's CBS series Extant premieres this summer, while Martinez made his Revenge debut on Sunday. Clearly, these two have too much going on to be concerned about these nonsensical rumors!
