Marvel fans did not hold back their thoughts after Wicked actress Cynthia Erivo claimed she wanted to play prominent X-Men member, Storm.
Speaking with National Board of Review, Erivo said, “I really want to play Storm. I know it sounds frivolous, but we haven’t uncovered how grand she is and all of that inner turmoil she has. So I think there’s a world in which we can, I don’t know, do something like that.”
Marvel fans did not like this idea at all. Fandom Pulse writer Jon Del Arroz posted on X, “Cynthia Erivo (Wicked) wants to play Storm in X-Men. She will never be able to top Halle Berry as the character.”

X user MinEffortLive, another Fandom Pulse contributor, posted, “So apparently, there's a push to make this hideous creature (Cynthia Erivo from Wicked) Storm in the next X Men film. Why any of you retarded midwits continue to support mentally ill degenerates who look like literal demons is beyond me.”
YouTuber The Quartering wrote, “Nobody wants AIDS Storm.”
DjangoJenkins1 wrote, “Nah, we cool on the ninja turtle.”
AirPurdy wrote, “Will be a great way to further ostracize Disney+ subscribers. Seems like Disney didn’t get the memo to pivot away from DEI.”
Sawnee Bean wrote, “Unless THEY WANT TO lose more money lmfao”
Upstate Communications wrote, “No offense to her, but she’s not pretty enough. Storm is drop-dead gorgeous. I didn’t even think Halle Berry did her justice. No one wants to see this lady play Storm.”
TheBeezkneez wrote, “Personality wise, her actions and behavior are the opporsite of Ouroro. Find someone who doesn’t denigrate Black American culture, and maybe we’ll accept her. Shes mean spirited and physically ugly. When has Storm ever been that?”
Hero Shack wrote, “Nope. Shes a role killer... particularly for STORM.”
The Mighty Lu Bu posted, “She has a better shot at playing Nosferatu in the woke Netflix remake.”
StevenVoiceOver concurred, “I mean she was brilliant in Nosferatu.”
What do you make of Erivo wanting to play Storm? Who do you think would make a good Storm?
