:0:1

Ahead of the MCU X-Men"s debut, musician SZA confesses she"d love to play a new live-action version of Storm in a Marvel project. Storm has appeared in six X-Men movies so far — seven counting her Deadpool 2 cameo. Halle Berry played Ororo Munroe in Fox"s first X-Men trilogy and X-Men: Days of Future Past, and Alexandra Shipp succeeded Berry, playing a younger version of Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse and X-Men: Dark Phoenix. Since then, it has been six years without a live-action Storm appearance, though the hero is a key character in X-Men "97 seasons 1 and 2.
In an episode of the Jennifer Hudson Show, SZA reveals that she would love to play a superhero, as she "grew up being into Marvel and DC." SZA first says she"d like to play the Silver Surfer, but then puts forward the idea of playing X-Men"s Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm. Particularly, SZA says she"s interested in exploring Storm"s unique origin story if she ever gets the chance to play the weather-manipulating hero in a Marvel project. Read SZA"s comments below:

"I was thinking, you know, how Storm has an origin story, like, she comes from like this whole other place where it"s like, the jungle... I think that would be so gnarly if I could be Storm"s origin story. That"d be so cool. I"d love to bring the rain"

What SZA's Storm Comments Mean SZA Could Be A Strong Contender For The MCU's Storm

SZA also possesses physical similarities to Ororo Munroe"s traditional physical appearance from the comics, which many fan-cast actresses and celebrities often lack — namely, her voluminous hair. SZA is only beginning to create an acting portfolio with her co-starring role in One Of Them Days, but her interest in film also supports the idea of a superhero role in a Marvel movie or show.
