STORM WEEK: Who Should Have Really Played Storm in the Film Franchise?

[yogaflame]

I like her too, but I can't see her as Ororo. Maybe because most of the roles I've seen her in are as the wicked villainess.

Have you seen her as Calypso in the Odyssey? She was one of my faves for the role back in middle school.

These days I would go to Kenya and find a newbie. Who was Hugh Jackman when X1 came out? Sometimes its better to get someone with no other associations so the audience can just see them as the character.

As long as her acting is good that would do, but Storm is very beautiful and sorry to say but I want a young version of her in her 20ths
This way she can play the part in up coming movies.

You are actually right. Why cant they make an audition there to get the right one to play as Storm.

I have. She was really good in that role. I also loved her in Ugly Betty and 666 Park Avenue...sigh, I miss seeing Vanessa Williams weekly on my TV screen.

I'd be totally for a new actress as well as long as she is talented and has the look of Ororo.

Having got into the comics from the movies Halle IS Storm. If I had to choose from of the other options I'd pick Lupita though.

Since I was a child I always thought that RuPaul embodied the over the top amazon leader of the X-Men. Specially in the cartoon.

Such a drama diva:

On a serious note, I didn't hate Halle's Storm but would have loved someone taller, darker and tougher then her. Angela Bassat would have been cool indeed.

Also yogaflame as Storm.

I suppose it's appropriate that Angela Bassett won, considering her Black Panther character looks so much like Storm.

I realize there are characters in Black Panther comics with white hair (or at least this one character), but... My first thought is Storm whenever I see her.
