Whatever their feelings on the Fox franchise, X-Men fans widely agree that the movies did Storm dirty. Despite being one of the most beloved mutants from the pages of Marvel comics, she only ever had a supporting role in the films, whether she was played by Halle Berry in the original trilogy and Days of Future Past or by Alexandra Shipp in Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix. Many have also criticized the decision to cast two actresses who don’t match Ororo Munroe’s darker skin tone in the source material.
There’s hope that Storm will be adapted more accurately when the MCU gets around to rebooting mutantkind, then. And it seems Shipp herself would be all for it. In an interview with ComicBookMovie, the actress seemed to rule out the option for her to return and voiced her hope that “a woman of darker complexion” be the one to bring the heroine to life next. Shipp thinks it’s “time” for that kind of “representation” in the X-Men universe.
