A lot of women have played Storm and they’ve done an exceptional job, and I would love to be in that line of artists and get to do Storm justice.”

I know it’s too late, but Angela Bassett was meant for that role! She would have been exceptional!
100%!!!
Omg yessssssss youre so right.
At least she still plays the mother. I feel like Janelle will do a great job.
She plays the mother on black panther
I’ve been saying this for years!!!!! Since it doesn’t seem like it’s ever going to happen, I take comfort in her role as the voodoo queen in American horror story: coven. It’s pretty much how I imagine her as storm.
Janelle is the height of a trolls doll. Storm is a tall, statuesque African goddess. How about NO, Janelle.
No
I wouldn’t love
I love Janelle but I’m still in favor of Halle Berry getting to play Storm again with a more though-out and structured project.
Nah, girl, you’re no Storm
Tika sumpter
We don’t need some d*** playing Storm. YUK!

Her and every other black woman out there. I hope this never Happens. Not one woman has done storm justice on the big screen.
If anyone should do it, it’s pearl thusi a real South African Queen.
I personally think Dawn Richard would make a phenomenal storm. I saw a picture of her recently with white faux locs and was sold! She has the body, speaking voice and courage to do the stunt choreography. I hope it’s her.
