Let’s settle this, Who should play Storm in the MCU?

[Morose Polymath]

Storm needs to be black. Not mixed. Not kinda black. Not ambiguously black.

Black black.

And yeah acting talent matters which is why the Jade Cargill stuff was always dumb to me.

This man gets it

 

[King Static X]

Simone Biles or Cynthia Erivo would be dope

This has to be a joke post. Right?

They’ll make a great Storm

[Luke Cage]

Certainly not Halle Berry or anyone remotely resembling her.

It's too late, judging by the girl they cast as storm in apocalyse. Hollywood has decided storm is to be played by a Halle Berry Type.
Expect some light skinned girl to be cast in the role. bet money on it. If it wasn't for spiderman they would've absolutely cast Zendaya to play storm.

Does the movie always follow every single detail from the comic books? No

Is it nice when the actress looks similar to the character? Yes of course

Does it always come down to the person looking exactly like the character? No

Bottom line is, I think Reid would do a great job


Just my opinion

We’ve had two light skin Storms. It’s now time to get one that more closely resembles her comic book counterpart.

fukk all dat.

From Halle Berry to Halle Bailey.... Don't ask me how....

Idc How she looks as long as she is a Sista and can act an play the role right, It wouldn't hurt if she is attractive though, please not that they/them Biatch from that Wicked Movie. It's a shame she too old now but to me Angela Bassett is the prototype for this role.

Angela Bassett was the initial choice to play Storm in the original X-Men movie, but her agents at the time wanted her to have a higher salary. Fox didn't have that money, so they ended up casting Halle Berry instead.

It's bittersweet. Angela was born to play Storm, but at least she didn't have to deal with creepy-ass Bryan Singer. Also, Storm and all of the non-Wolverine X-Men were heavily misused in those Fox X-Men movies.

Berry’s Storm was mid af

 

[SmarkMero]

If not DeWanda

 

[Ozymandeas]

DeWanda Wise

Storm Reid is Black (that’s the actress i picked)

Storm Reid ain’t dark skin but she looks great and her acting chops are up to par. I think she’d do a really great job as Storm

Nah. Storm is Black African. She needs to be somewhere between the complexion of the girl on the left with Meagan Good being the lightest she should be and even then, Meagan is cutting it close. Ideally, the girl on the left has the right complexion. Girls that look like Paula Patton need not apply

 

[Versa]

The fact folks don't understand the importance of the shorty actually being brown/darker skin highlights how much damage that weak ass Halle Berry portrayal did in terms of what fans deem to be an acceptable choice

It's like the character has become a a prop for insert person here's favorite black actress - regardless of their skin tone.

Some of ya'll in here recommending lesbians who shave their eyebrows not because of alopecia, but for the aesthetic. FOH

This is the most iconic black female superhero of all time. They gotta get this perfect, especially in the social media era.
