Quote from Janelle Monae

“I definitely have thrown it out there,” she says. “One of my dreams has always been to play Storm. I don’t know if she comes in Black Panther, but it would be a dream to have her in it. I don’t know where they are with that. A lot of women have played Storm and they’ve done an exceptional job, and I would love to be in that line of artists and get to do Storm justice.”

Again, storm shouldn't be in Black Panther but if I had to do a fan casting id pick Skye P Marshall from black lightning season one

That's bullshyt. Shes a fan of the character so shes not gonna try to change the gender.

Name one role where she did that?

I speak facts, not fables nor fiction. She obviously won't change gender, but she would make Storm gay or bi just because that is what these gay actors try to do....especially Black folks....absolutely disgusting....

She’ll push for Ororo to be Gay and have a relationship with Nakia. Then in the third film T’Challa would be killed off and NakiaxOrroro would rule Wakanda together...


I’m good:camby:
:mjlol:Funny you say that.

In the old cartoon, she raised a kid with another woman. The implication was there that they were in a relationship, but if the show was written nowadays they'd be able to be more clear about it.

After the recent releases of Homecoming and Antebellum any brehs change they minds? I haven’t seen them yet but I think MCU casting does follow a pattern of stars rising with a lot of consistent work get the part soooo its lookin like ...:manny:

No reason to not trust the handling of the property/character. Feige and then have a good track record.

I’d personally prefer the lesser known stars that ain’t get they just due yet taking these iconic, career defining roles, although I don’t think they missed yet casting wise.

Short lived role. Character deserved way more especially how she played it. Mmm!:lawd:
She can be Fierce, Funny, Elegant, Marvelous which is what I think the MCU is about aaaaaand

As you can clearly see she’s already a Goddess :mjgrin:

Only reason i haven’t changed my mind is because i’m pretty sure she can’t do a kenyan accent. Like black panther her being african is pretty central to her character, making her american just seems off. She could also be egyptian depending which era origin you go with

Disagree...she will inject her real-life views into the film....
"Why can't we have the first bi-Black-queer-friendly Marvel hero be Storm? Black Panther already got his story"
she doesn't have the clout for this. would be one thing if she was a draw as an actress, she's done ok work, but she's not the main event, thus she doesn't have the bargaining power. marvel properties >> janelle monae the actress (and singer if we're being honest)
Janelle doesn't have that statues prowess to fill Storm's wings:usure::lupe:
halle berry (petite AF) and the abomination of alexandra shipp have played storm. janelle wouldn't be any worse re: stature (halle) nor acting (shipp)

Only reason i haven’t changed my mind is because i’m pretty sure she can’t do a kenyan accent. Like black panther her being african is pretty central to her character, making her american just seems off. She could also be egyptian depending which era origin you go with

edit: like breh said, she's "black"

Born Ororo Munroe to a tribal princess of Kenya and an African-American photojournalist father, Storm is raised in Harlem, New York City, United States and Cairo, Egypt

Na
i came in to say no, but then seen this, and then saw what others posted.

this works.

and just because the girl is bi, doesnt mean shes going to play a bi woman in the fukking film you fools. you'd be quite surprised how many actresses are lesbians and are straight on film.
Well, Storm was bisexual as written by Claremont.
