Fan Picks For X-Men: First Class Storm

There has been a bit of talk about Storm in the upcoming film X-Men: First Class, which will begin production this summer. And surely many fans know that it has been difficult finding a perfect actress to play such a strong role. It seems that there's some big shoes to fill, since Halle Berry's portrayal of an older Storm in the previous films. Recently some names like Meagan Good and Zoë Kravitz have been considered for the role, but has far as we know no one has been chosen. As a huge fan of Storm, I have chosen some actresses that I believe can pull of the character.



1. Emelia Burns (The Condemned)
-She as the look down, plus the acting and can easly play someone whos African.







2. Jessica White (Little Erin Merryweather)
- Yet I haven't seen her act, she looks edgy, and could totally play off Storm.







3. Nicole Beharie (American Violet)
- She is an excellent actress, and could nail the acting. She is also young enough to play her.





And some extra names, that I will just put out there are:
Davetta Sherwood ("The Young and the Restless"), Erica Hubbard ("Lincoln Heights"), Hayley Marie Norman (Fired Up), Joy Bryant (Antwone Fisher), Megalyn Echikunwoke ("The 4400"), Naomie Harris (28 Days Later), Sonia Rolland ("Léa Parker"), Taís Araújo ("Viver a Vida"), Tanya Chisholm ("Big Time Rush"), Tamyra Gray ("Boston Public"),and Tatyana Ali (Glory Road).

I'm not really familiar with any of their work. Maybe if you were to put some more detail on what they have been a part of or worked on, I would know better as to who I think would fit. Good job, and who is your pick? :)

Nice article, can see your a huge fan @ Sara!

Well as long as STORM isn't in FIRST CLASS, thats all I care about lol, or if she has to, be it a cameo at the end after the ORIGINAL X-MEN!

All your actressess are great though for X-MEN 4 or BLACK PANTHER movie, hell even a STORM solo movie!

I kinda think NICOLE has the edge!

But NO to FIRST CLASS! : p

Yep, no reason to fight all the bad casting and bad
timeline in FOX X-men movies Leee@! It seems everybody loves
all the bad stuff Singer and FOX do with the
X-men!

So you and I should just go along with the sheeple and take
it up the butt from FOX and just shut up and
listen to the REAL intelligent people discuss it!!

Yeeeaaahhh, WONDERFUL!!!!!!

Gabielle Union. She is stunningly beautiful,has a strong presence, the physicality to do action and she is a good actress. Plus she still looks young enough to play a teenage Storm.

However...I am in agreement with LEEE about the original five, but if we are gonna have Ororo, it needs to be a good, young actress.

I am also diggin' Nicole Beharie but have never seen her perform.

STORMFOREVER????? @

Why is this REPOSTED?

You know your not allowed to repost articles at CBM.com right??

Theres nothing new in it either, all you've done is knock everyone elses hard work down one?

Don't wanna be a killjoy lol, but I'm surprised you havn't had lots of h8 comments after pulling that or getting deleted?

Just saying, I wouldn't risk reposting again lol.

Again NO to STORM for FIRST CLASS, If she has to be there, do it right at the end of the movie, a cameo with someone like COLOSSUS, ready for the FIRST CLASS X-MEN sequel!!

Let the ORIGINAL 5 X-MEN have their FIRST adventure first! :)


DDD @ Exactly dude, exactly, its a real shame too many ppl take all their comic book movies up the butt and don't really care at all, just go BAAAAAAAA lol!

Real shame no one want quality!


ROMACK @ Cool! ;)


Soul @ Shes a gr8 pick too, for X4 ofcourse! ; P

@ROMACK- I've wanted Gabrielle Union to play Storm for a long time. I think she'd be great! She looks young, but she has a commanding presence that storm needs. That's one of the things that Halle Berry was missing, she didn't have that "presence" that Ororo needs.

@LEEE- You know as well as I do that the original 5 ain't gonna happen. As much as I want it to, I've lost my faith in ever seeing the original 5 in First Class. If that's not going to happen, I at least want Fox to stick to their own continuity and have Storm included in the First Class, as it would fit in with their other movies.

Now back in the day, Angela Bassett was the easy choice. Combination of solid acting skills and physical stature.

Nona Gaye is an intriquing choice and probably my favorite with Jessica White a close second. In some ways,Nona reminds me of Bassett.

Naomi Harris and Zoe Saldana are the female actors who immediately come to mind as well. Actually, Kerry Washington just came to mind also. She has a quality about her. She could be an excellent fit. Jessica White is a fine choice too and I would be tempted to roll with her but not sure if she has the acting chops. All in all, there's no clear cut choice.

Gabrielle Union is beautiful, but not sure she can pull it off...because of her on screen persona as the "the pretty girl" I wonder could she be tough when needed and bring an edge to Storm's character.
