So precious. I love this cover.

That's my biggest complaint with fan-casts. I always see people/sites try to pin down the actress who has the perfect "look" to play Storm, yet I never hear anything about do they have (or can act) the personality of Storm. They can be Storm personified in terms of looks but if they don't have her personality or can't tap into it then its a no-go. The MCU Storm NEEDS to have that Goddess persona yet can also bring that down and dirty street urchin wit/fighting. They need to have that tactical mind and cunning but can still be open to team input as any good leader should be. They need to have that "I value life and will fight for us all, but I will rip a b1tch's heart out if need be." I really don't know if a young (30 and below) actress can bring all that to the table. My two favorite picks for Storm right now would be a toss up between Anna Diop and Yetide Badaki. I believe Anna is closer to the age range they want for the new X-men for the MCU but if anyone has seen American Gods you know Ms. Badaki can bring that regal goddess personality to the table in spades. On the other hand if you've seen Titans you know Ms. Diop can DEFIENTLY bring that H2H flare and attitude to the screen. If somehow you could merge the two you'd have Storm in both looks AND personality.
I have no problem with them building UP to that that Storm if they are indeed bringing them in young and wet behind the ears (which even still would be an automatic discredit to Storm since she entered the game with absolute control/precision & understanding of her powers, but anyway...) to the masses.
I just don't want to see another decade + of what Fox gave folks. Who over the span of 6 movies has all of a handful of memorable scenes and that one line that's basically a meme before memes was a thing. ZERO leadership presences (and was even shook at the very idea of it i.e. her conversation with Xavier in X3), majority power showing was lackluster af with basically the tornado spam scene in X2 and that ultimate storm she did in DOFP being the biggest two standouts of sheer power, yet both ended up being totally useless.
Like, the bar is high now. The girls have been eating Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange and Thor and the like. But at the end of the day we really need all of them to remember who was BY DESIGN to be the most beautiful and powerful woman in comics.

I'd be here for Halle to play Storm but not her sister. Halle can actually act which is why she got the part of the little mermaid
I think they’re casting younger actors for the X-Men, like mid-late 20s at most. If that’s the case Anna Diop is too old but I agree she’s probably the best “known” option for Ororo. Titans’ Starfire isn’t very good (none of the characters are) but she does a job bringing a lot of the sensibilities of Storm Subliminally is talking about.
As Claremont exemplified...A lot of Storm's core personality is in the writing of and for her character.
We can have a tall, stunningly beauty-full brown/ebony actor to play the character (and there are many who will fit that visual...not the Bailey Sisters, though) but The MCU has to follow suit with a proper character script.

Guys it seems storm may not appear in red #9. Her character is in included in the preamble by Marvel.
Just watched wakanda forever and all I can say is that we were robbed of angela basset's Storm. The energy, the authority, the presence this woman has like give her blue eyes and the omega elemental powers and i wont be able to tell the difference between her and ororo. I also sincerely believe that Ryan coogler should be the one to handle ororo should she ever be brought into the MCU. Idc if it means she is wakandan, he will absolutely slay it. He and chadwick had plans concerning storm. But now it will be pushed back for a very obvious reason of you watch the movie. But all is to say he should handle ororo's arc in the mcu. They can have her be inconsequential in the xmovies they vomit out, but in her inevitable standalone project, they should let ryan handle her.
