Really? Well, that's a first.
Personally, I can never get enough of the classic line-up with Jean, Storm, Rogue, Ice Man, etc. Movies without them just don't appeal as much to me. And I don't think I'm alone in that respect.
I guess it's different for me because unlike many here I've never read the comic books so I have no pre-existing love for the characters. For me all the knowledge of the characters comes from the movies.
So from my point of view, Storm is just a bland character played by a bland actress. I can't say I feel any enthusiasm about her possible return, at least this version of the character. If they can re-cast and re-invent her, say as a reboot or a younger version, that's of course a different story.

X-Maniac said:That's a criticism of the movies, not the character.
If the films made her bland, that's down to the writing/directing and possibly casting.

I think it's a lot to do with casting.
Halle Berry to me seems the kind of actress who can really shine in smaller, low-key movies, but put her in a big blockbuster and she just turns into blandness. She's totally unconvincing as an action heroine, as well, no matter how hard they tried to turn her into one (Die Another Day, Catwoman).
I highly doubt Fox accepts to recast Halle.
They'll probably say: or Halle or none.
One thing it to recast a cameo or a really small role from previous movies, and another thing to recast the most famous female name of the franchise. The general audience would say: who is this new black actress? where is Halle Berry?
there will be many fans that could love the new choice, but as a marketing point of view, its a wrong decision. Fox wont be interested in promoting a new face like they did with Hugh and Halle during the whole trilogy.
neither has mckellanNot when she hasn't been in a movie for 6 years. If you can recast Rhodey between 2 movies with audiences being fine.
