so is Alexandra not black?
Bi-racial. Black dad, white mom. I don't think she identifies as black.

I have nieces that are bi-racial (black dad, white mom) but they identify as black. Not that it'll make a difference because Storm is not bi-racial, she's black.

The thing is, she is Black.......it just sucks that it is Hollywood bullshyt that landed her the role....I am willing to bet that no dark skin woman got the call to try for the part......I'm not even mad at her, I hope she kills the role

My guess is that they cast her to be Storm since they have already cast Halle Berry before. Now if they had cast a darker woman for the part earlier then they would have cast someone darker now. I think they made the best choice they felt they could make. I just hope that she does a better job in this movie than she did in the other movies she was in.

shyt is just a mockery now, halle berry was a terrible choice in the first place

even in the X-men cartoon at least they tried to give storm an accent lol

I can't believe they still making these movies, comic book fans are worst than dope fiends

Halle Berry was a bad choice too. Lupita would've been perfect for this role.

:rudy:


No she wouldn't:mjlol:. Lupita has zero screen presence. It would have been Halle Berry 2.0. Storm will never be done right in these movies, they would have you think that she's just some background character when she's actually one of the most authoritative members of the group. They can't even call her by her actual name "Ororo":russ:.
