Alexandra Shipp star of the tragic Aaliyah lifetime movie is cast as Storm in new X-Men film

[BXKingPin82]

Yeah I heard Tom Hanks gonna be the lead in the new film last knee grow on earth. A role in which he is the last black man on earth.

Shout outs to Paul Mooney.

:mooneyha:

" b b b but biracials are black too!!!!" Yeah until they take your job.

Or disown their blackness.

 

[Originalman]

@marcuz warned y'all



Now they have biracials playing black Africans.

They always have but it was a fair representation of black folks of all colors. Take the different world. You had mixed sistas, dark skin sistas, brown skin sistas and light skin sistas. It was no more different then going to your family reunion and seeing all these beautiful black folks of all colors in your family.

Now on TV they only show one color of black women. I don't care for Tyler Perry but I give him credit for reflecting black women on TV and film in all shaped, sizes and colors.

If Hugh Jackson is still Wolverine then there is no reason why Halle can't be Storm for this film.

maybe halle doesn't wanna do it? or perhaps, they wanna cast younger folks to lower the cost of the film, since halle ain't cheap. plus, they'll probably be going back in the 70s and 80's for the next film, so logically, the only one who will look the same is wolverine.

however, with storm being from africa, they could have cast someone like lupita nyongo to play her

 

[Made Myself A Boss]

Everyone of you clowns getting upset about this sound just as bad when Donald Trump was complaining about Rush Limbaugh being casted as James Bond...

Its a freakin fictitious cartoon character...get over it


Edit why isnt there an angry face smilie on this bytch

coulda had shorty rockin that white mohawk look

 

[Whitty Hutton]

Biracial ppl aren't black.


Prime Angela Bassett woulda been the best storm


-DMP-

Why does each person that says this think it hasn't been said 1,789,049 times before?

Please don't bring that color struck/race bytchin to the Film Room

Only thing that we should be concerned about is that so far....she's been a pretty terrible actress.

co-sign. I haven't seen the Aaliyah debacle, but if she can't act and have an accent
There are light skin Africans, nikkas...

Kandyse McClure from Battlestar Galactica would have been perfect as Storm... She's pretty much has the look for the most part and she's from Africa.

Very good choice, she looks a bit like Riri.

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

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.

These comic book nerds don't realize that Halle is the definition of Storm for most people.

I used to watch the cartoons, and I never knew she was supposed to be a dark skinned woman.

 

[Tae]

This sexy goddess right chea could've played a young Storm

Another good choice.

 

[Tae]

Which leads me to another question, why black dudes gotta bring these problems into

our community? Just....why?


Lol......


but really though.....

What's worse is that she does not even identify as black but had to gaul to go in an audition for a black female character.


You know she would never go in and audition for a white female character.
I'd rather just have Zoe play Storm at least she identifies as black, has better acting chops, and resembles the character more.

Saldana or Kravitz?
Zoe Saldana is already playing a Marvel character

Oh yeah, Guardians of the Galaxy is a Marvel comic book.
Kravitz was already in the first X-Men and got killed off, but she doesn't resemble Storm much anyway.

 

[Nigerianwonder]

Yall act like storm is gonna be a lead character or something. she will be in the movie for 5 mins like all the rest of the shytty xmen movies.
