    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.

    While gushing over the star-studded cameos in “Deadpool & Wolverine” during the Aug. 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 .
