Sequels Casting Storm aka Ororo Iqadi T'Challa aka Hadari Yao

[Chesterfield]

This isn't about if you want her in a BP movie or not. The fact is she is part of the BP mythology and it's more likely than not that she'll end up in his movie. In any case, this thread is for casting suggestions.

To kick things off...

Susan Kelechi Watson

Nicole Beharie

Keesha Sharp

Teyonah Parris

Kerry Wahington

Tika Sumpta

Kylie Bunbury

Antonia Thomas

Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Yaya Dacosta

Aja Naomi King

 

[psylockolussus]

Save for the X-Men reboot.

 

[Hypestyle]

when did hadari yao come in as a name for Ororo? Just wondering. hadn't heard of it before.

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I say we get a talented, beautiful, unknown blacktress and make her an overnight sensation.

If not then Damaris Lewis.

 

[THORin]

Yaya DaCosta! I love her!

 

[KevTravels]

I concur. A total unknown. Someone whose done years of theater.

 

[Chesterfield]

when did hadari yao come in as a name for Ororo? Just wondering. hadn't heard of it before.

Since 2016. The man who shall not be named who's the current BP writer came up with it.

 

[Chesterfield]

Half Nigerian, half Ghanaian actress Chinyere Yvonne Okoro

Half Nigerian, half Ghanaian actress Chinyere Yvonne Okoro

wow. she's pretty. what has she been in?

 

[Silvermoth]

I still think Nigerian born yetide badaki would be perfect for the role and apparently she’s gunning for it too!

 

[PhasedPlasma101]

She looks like she's his aunt, the one above is perfection looks-wise

 

[THORin]

How about Yvonne Orji? Her smile is amazing.

 

[Chesterfield]

With rumours floating around that Aja Naomi King and Nicole Behari are in the running to be cast as Storm, here's more potential candidates including the aforementioned:

Nafessa Williams

Chinyere Yvonne Okoro

Jessica Williams

Nicole Beharie

Aja Naomi King

Teyonah Parris

Brittany S. Hall

Nomzamo Mbatha

Meagan goode

Yaya dacosta

Bonang Matheba

Damilola Adegbite

 

[p4poetic]

Kiki Layne

Age: 27 (will be about 30 when they actually start filming)

Height: 5’9 (5’11 with heels)

 

[Chesterfield]

So we can rule out Teyonah Parris as she's just been cast as Monica Rambeau.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Naomie Harris is my first pick. If it's someone younger than Harris (who is 43) I would pick....Gugu Mbatha Raw who is 36 right now.

 

[Chesterfield]

Definitely no to Gugu. I don't think we need and not do I want to see another light skinned/Bi-racial actress for the character that's supposed to be darker skinned.

 

[Tg11]

Yaya is my pick

 

[Tg11]

Yaya Da Costa is my pick

 

[Marvel united]

Ryan Destiny, Pepi Sonuga, Halle Bailey or Hailey Kilgore

 

[bubbadoom]

No casting suggestions but I do hope she in introduced into the MCU in a Panther film and not an X-Men movie...

 

[Shuri]

All these women are gorgeous, but damn, most of them can't act for ****.

 

[Shuri]

First choice Kiki, Second is Aja Naomi king and then Yaya.

 

[Chesterfield]

Yeah, I'm really liking Kiki as potential casting. Gorgeous woman.

 

[bubbadoom]

Now that Disney/Marvel can use the former Fox characters, I am hoping they will be slowly introduced through out the MCU and then at some point come together as the X-Men and then the new X-Men. Have Storm in a Panther film, maybe mention Colossus in the Black Widow film, etc. - follow the Civil War model of how Panther and Spidey were introduced...
