The Storm/Ororo Munroe Thread

[DawnWarrior]

Yeah, Lupita knows she's got the look and is happy to show it off.
(And she played Nakia, not Okoye.)

I stand corrected.

No thank you. Now I really hope they are going younger though my initial wish was for Dewanda Wise to get the role.

 

[JP]

Cynthia would devour the role. We'd be lucky to have someone of her grace and caliber.

Listening to Cynthia talk about Elphaba, I just know homegirl would INSIST on white eyebrows and blue eyes.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Hell no to Cynthia Erivo.



It's bad enough she was Harriet Tubman, don't let her besmirch Ororo next. And keep Jodie Turner Smith away too.

 

[JP]

Do you hate talent?

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

Erivo said disparaging things about black Americans in the past that we haven't forgotten, yet she wants to take on black American roles i.e. Harriet Tubman and Ororo. I'm not a fan of hers and her attitude is atrocious, but to each their own.

Would much rather see the eternal goddess played by DeWanda Wise, Kiki Layne, Yvonne Orji, Jayme Lawson, someone in that ilk.

All of which was an overblown non-starter, like the internet loves to do.

She is not my first or my 5th choice, but she is one of the most talented individuals on the planet and we would be lucky to have her.

In what world is she not? She's one award away from EGOT, and she's about to get her third Oscar nomination (second in the lead actress category). Don't play now. LMAO.

 

[Silvermoth]

I would love to see Cynthia as Storm. Could you imagine the power she would portray as well as the screams she would unleash as she experiences her claustrophobia?

 

[Dark Raven]

Definitely don't want Erivo as Storm. We need someone like a young Angela Bassett.

 

[JP]

That's so vague... what does that even mean?

 

[SumT]

Jodie Turner-Smith is my #1 choice since some years ago.
(until an amazing newcomer appears on the scene, I guess)

 

[JP]

Agreed, she's my #1 as well!

 

[Silvermoth]

Same here, I think she’s incredible

 

[psylockolussus]

Storm would probably be played by someone who's not on our radar.

Cynthia is in her late 30s. I don't think its ideal for a character we want to see in the MCU for 15 years or more.

 

[SumT]

Agreed, she's my #1 as well!

She has star power to me, and such an excelent presence on screen, she is quite charismatic on interviews too, from what Ive seen. And her model background definetly helps her with this role, imo. We all know Storm is no ordinary/girl next door character, so Jodie has all the ingredients in my book.

Ororo's not a Black American

Sorry, didn't mean to be that guy but I had to

But curious, what did she say???

RDJ was in his 40's so I don't see the issue

Bored Guy.... my artistic pal....


But nah Ororo is a Black American. Her father was a full African American photojournalist and her mother was the Kenyan Princess. Plus she was born in Harlem, then raised in Cairo. She's family.

And as far as Ms. Erivo, in some old tweets she called us ghetto, chastised us for questioning her casting as Harriet and said some other reckless mess. Never liked her since then.

Ah damn, see never knew all that
All I ever remember hearing was that she grew up in Cairo, became a goddess in Kenya, and often gets written like English is her second language
my sincerest apologies
