Where is this from? I love this. I can't wait until Marvel really elevates her status to the THE WOMAN OF MARVEL. We already know she is, she just has to get that push. Lately, I have to say though, they have been putting respect on her name and giving her that shine but we need more lol.
I believe that's the mural Alex Ross painted for the Marvel offices.

This part sounds boring.
The second part may pack a punch. As far as the art of this issue (#24), I do not like it. There is a serious lack of details, and it looks like wet paint instead of a pencil and digital colouring.

[QUOTE=butterflykyss;5436984]storm may be going over to sword yall she is on the variant 6 cover[/QUOTE]
I've called that, months ago. The only logical thinking is that leads to Storm leaving the Marauders only so she can join the SWORD. For which I am happy because the SWORD is quite a successful run so far.
A WIP of a few of the ladies. I didn't really mentally get lorna outfit so i went original. I thought it would be funny if she had a magnetic purse rack she was holding her purse on which will actually be on the final since it's not on this one i notice. lol. it's on the design layer i did.

I am loving SWORD. SUch a great cast and Ewing is killing it. I wouldn't mind seeing Storm have a role there but I am hoping the big plans are greater than her having a role there. Something tells me Planet X is the jump off for the Storm plans reveal.

I'm not sure any actress could have made that paper-thin role work. Now that the MCU is getting more sophisticated in their character work, I look forward to seeing Feige's Storm. And I hope he's open to an African fresh face, because there's really not a 'known name' on the usual radar that is a homerun for Ororo.

I am not sure. I can see plenty of promising actresses in the list below that could take on Storm's role, putting aside the number one, since she is already playing in Marvel's Universe.

From that list, I could definitely see Storm behind number 16 (Pearl Thusi), 14 (Danai Gurira), 9 (Mercy Johnson), definitely 6 (Yvonne Nelson) and number 18 (Yvonne Okoro).
Ella Thomas is quite stunningly beautiful, as well and has the eyes and the figure for the role:

I don't think any of these people you mentioned are even close to correct. I wouldn't cast older than 25 to start with. I want to see college aged X-Men grow up over the course of 10-15 years of films and D+ series. And I'm looking for a tall, Nilotic goddess, with melanin and cheekbones for days. Ella is gorgeous, but we can do better, in terms of age and acting abilities, not to mention that I am tired of biracial actresses being cast in this role.
The only prerequisite I would want is for the actress playing Storm to be dark skin...with a beauty-fully rich chocolate complexion. With the obvious exception of a few like Lupita and Danai, that list of African actresses is still a tad too fair-complected to suit my personal wishful thinking.
This is my STORM
[img]https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Yetide-Badaki-American-Gods-590x370.jpg[/img]
Also Dominique Jackson gives me Storm DOWN but she's a lil too old.
Yetide BADAKI is definitely high contender.
I love Yetide, but she's too old too. She can be Ayesha, Storm's Sorceress Supreme ancestor, though.

Guys, guys, guys. How many times we have to go over that, Storm is a biracial character no matter do you like it or not. It is official, it is in her story, in her stats and in her comics representation. She is not pure black, as most want her to be or desire her to be. Ella is not that bad, but I've picked her mainly for the eyes and for her body figure and height which is nearly identical to what we have with Storm.
Furthermore, all of the actresses which I mentioned were all pure black females from African density, specifically Kenyan which Storm actually is. And they are all American and Kenyan, which Storm is as well. I don't get what do you expect? A pure black woman with only African roots? That not possible and we all know that, simply because the Actress needs to be native in English first and the second Storm is half American, which adds more to the casting choice. You desire something, which is simply not possible and I will kindly ask all of you to stop comparing Storm to yourself or to something which she isn't as per her lore, her history, her race and her nationality. Because, simply, that is not how Storm is and she will never be that...

I really like Yetide Badaki as Storm as well, I believe she will nail the role, the only problem I can see with her is her age first and her height, second. And if I take into consideration Disney's desires to hire an actress who hasn't gone nude, she will probably not make the cut unless her audition is outstanding in one way or another. Plus Yetide voiced herself that she wants the role as well, which I think further removes her from the role since the casting agency avoids such people who made it publically known that they want to play a Marvel character when they haven't even approached them.
At 5ft 9 inches and 34 yo (can obviously play younger)...Jodie Turner-Smith would be my perfect choice.

Get your facts straight. Ororo is the daughter of Kenya tribal princess N'Dare from the heart of Africa(the Great Rift Valley region) and David Munroe, African-American Harlem photojournalist born to Black Panther Party members. She's 1000% black.
And for the record, I myself am biracial, but I know for certain she is not.
N'Dare was neither White nor bi-racial.
David Munroe was neither White nor bi-racial.
So how in the Goddess's name can Storm be bi-racial?
Even if you go all the way back to her most known ancestor Ashake...she too was/is 100% Black.
I want anna diop personally, she's perfect and she deserves her flowers.
Claremont being a weirdo with the "every race" description when she had been drawn with full lips and a nose that clearly shower her as a black woman doesnt count!

She has ALWAYS been characterized as black and her parents are black. So how does she become biracial?
Anna Diop would be my second choice.
She's 5-8 and 33...and like JTS can play younger.

they need to get this right. if u see another white-washed version of storm I think I might lose it .
If we get Anna or Jodie, it would be a vast improvement from Halle/Alexandra, but we can do even better.

That is the essential part; acting chops to go along with the stunning physicality. Neither Anna nor Jodie are homeruns in this regard. This is also why I advocate in favor of an unknown from Kenya/the region; it's like method acting to actually recruit a young woman from the heart of Africa and bring her to America[for the purpose of filming]. That young woman would channel her real life experience into the role onscreen. I'd love it if most of the X-Men were cast this way(go find a Canadian redneck for Logan, some Russian farmboy for Piotr, etc, etc). Also, they'll need 8-10 year contracts for the whole ensemble to do this right. Only fresh newbies are going to work well in this regard.
