Let's keep it funky for as mediocre an actress as Alexandra Shipping is she is attractive and young and can be the face of this Xmen franchise for a decade. All of the actress you guys played to pick storm are in their late 30s or 40s. Also unfortunately holly as already decided to cast particularly women of mixed African and non Black heritage to represent black women because they feel movie goers will find Black women with more Eurocentric features easier to look at especially in prominent roles.

Hollywood missed it's opportunity. Angela Bassett woulda been the best Storm in her prime.
Always thought her or Nona Gaye back when they first chose Halle's tepid ass.

She wasn't the best choice to represent storm, but the anger shouldn't be directed at her cause if they didn't chose her specifically they woulda went with another chick who fit that look. It's like we ignore the cacs and go straight for their avatars

Alex is in her mid 20's dont let her simple mindedness play you. Also this girl is younger than Alex:
