You guys know that I love Divas and other than Patti LaBelle, Storm is one of my all time favorites.
I did not allow myself the pleasure of fantasizing that the character of Storm would be reprised after the somewhat disappointing 20th Century Fox's Xmen trilogy was over.
Anyway I just learned that my secret prayers have been answered and that Halle Berry will return as Storm in the new X-Men: Days of Future Past (the sequel to 2011's X-Men: First Class).
Join me in a big old comic book geek squeal!
Someone sent me a tip on my FB page from The Escapist Magazine where Berry confirmed during an interview with Black Film where she was promoting her latest film The Call, that she would be returning as Ororo Monroe everyone's favorite elemental Diva, Storm.
I love Halle Berry but she would not have been my first or second choice for Storm. Storm is from Kenya and is a dark regal enchantress, Halle sounds like she is from Los Angeles....lol. I think my perfect version of Storm would be a young Iman.
I thought in the Xmen: The Last Stand film they were finally going to let Storm cut loose, you know really kick Jean Grey's ass by throwing a Tsunami or Hurricane on her telekentic tirade but as usual they suppressed the real fiercness of this weather witch.
Well I recently caught up with my Xmen: Days of Future Past series on my IPad. Big shout out to Mike Wirth for turning me onto the Ap....lol.
All I can say is good luck with trying to craft a storyline from the Days of Future Past series because it is all over the place. Hollywood likes to muck up timelines and comic book movie conversions anyway so they will have a field day trying to decide which storyline to follow.
The Days of Future Past series includes Magneto, the Shi'ar's Imperial Guard, The Hellfire Club, Proteus, The Savage Land, Alpha Flight, Sentinels and Dark Phoenix. The list goes on and that was just the first comic book in the X-Men: Days of Future Past series.
Berry shared that she was not sure how extensive Storm's role will be in the upcoming film X-Men: Days of Future Past but if the producers and creators know what is good for them they will finally allow Storm to open up a big old can of weather whoop ass in this film and finally show just how powerful this elemental Diva can be.
