Concealing her eyes behind a pair of aviator sunglasses, Halle wore her hair down in loose waves as she donned a fedora.

Teaming her thigh skimming shorts with a white vest top, Berry completed her look with a pair of grey flip flops as she showcased her flawless makeup free complexion..

Clutching onto a small of metallic gold polish, the Monster's Ball star looked eager to get into the salon for her appointment.

Once inside the salon, the mother-of-two, who married Olivier Martinez in July 2013, took a seat in a massage chair.

Sitting comfortably as the nail technician got to work, Berry appeared to doze off as she lowered her hat to cover her face.

Last month it was revealed that Berry's role as mutant superhero Storm in the last four X-Men films may be recast in the upcoming sequel X-Men: Apocalypse.

Writer and producer Simon Kinberg dropped a casting bomb regarding the participation of Halle, Famke Janssen (Phoenix) and James Marsden (Cyclops) in the upcoming sequel.

'If we included some of the original X-Men like Storm and Jean and Scott and others in Apocalypse, yeah, we would have to recast them because Apocalypse takes place a good 20 years before X1, which now insanely was 10 to 15 years ago,' Kinberg told Yahoo Movies.

'Halle, Famke, and Jimmy and others have done such wonderful jobs of bringing those characters to life. It would be a tall task.'

As far as the difficulty finding appropriate younger actors to play the roles, he added: 'Halle, Famke, and Jimmy and others have done such wonderful jobs of bringing those characters to life. It would be a tall task.'

'But I also would have said before First Class there would have been no way we find actors who could stand alongside Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart, but I think we managed to with Michael [Fassbender] and James [McAvoy], finding their own interpretations of the characters, not doing an impersonation.'

Set to be released in 2016, X-Men Apocalypse will still feature original star Hugh Jackman, 45, along with Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy and Jennifer Lawrence.

Halle on CBS This Morning with Extant Interview

Halle Berry Takes on TVCBS This Morning Interview

POSTED ON JUL 8, 2014 01:00PM

Academy Award winner Halle Berry went on CBS This Morning Tuesday to talk about the premiere of the new sci-fi thriller Extant. Check out five things we learned from the interivew and don't miss the premiere on Wednesday night at 9/8c!

1. How Berry chose Extant.
She explained that when she looks at potential projects she really focuses on the character, and doing something she's never done before. And even though it's science fiction, the show is still rooted in family with complicated characters.

2. Why switching from film to TV is no big deal.
Berry said that even when she was having success in her film career she always came back to do TV movies, and that now other movie stars are doing the same thing with the lines blurring between the two mediums.

3. The last time she worked with Steven Spielberg was on "The Flintstones."
While the two didn't work too closely together on the 1994 film "The Flintstones," they certainly are getting their chance to work together now.

4. Halle Berry has the power to change laws.
Berry has taken on the fight against the paparazzi, and against all odds was able to change the laws to where photos can no longer be taken of stars' children.

5. Halle Berry takes the best selfie ever.

She made the leap from the big screen to the small screen with CBS's summer hit drama series Extant.

Now Halle Berry and her 606 Films are linking up with Kate Jacobs, the executive producer of long-running medical drama, House, for another hospital-based series - this time set in prison, according to Deadline Hollywood.

Like House, the acerbic-but-brilliant doctor played by Hugh Laurie, Halle's new project centers on an enigmatic, unothodox surgeon.

The medic shuts himself up in a state-of-the-art private hospital in the grounds of a jail.

Written by Larry Kaplow, there were no details of the plot and no news about the casting.

The new series arises out of 606 Films' first-look deal with CBS TV Studios, which means the network's creative arm gets first refusal on any ideas that come out of 606.

Larry, Kate, Halle and her producing partner Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas will be executive producers on the show.

Meanwhile, Extant is coming to the end of its 13-episode run.

Halle plays an astronaut struggling to discover how she became pregnant while on a 13-month-long solo space mission.

It launched on July 7 and is due to end on September 17.
