Speaking with Perri Nemiroff for <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5ZW-NpS5NFA?si=cbJiH6T4RxXGmHyn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Collider<\/a>, she was asked if she has any advice for the next actor to portray the role; this time under Marvel Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou have to make it your own, she said \u201cI think a lot of the time, people want to compare performances. They want to compare how Halle did her Storm, to my Storm, or any other character, really. I don\u2019t think that is fair to the actor, and I don\u2019t think that\u2019s fair to the audience. I think it\u2019s making that role your own, finding ways in which you can be an individual, and allowing that to form. Because my Storm much younger, and not trained,\u201d she continued. \u201cSo she was coming from the streets in [X-Men] Apocalypse. So for me, I really wanted her to be a street fighter, and we brought a lot of that into her fight style and the way that she flew. So I would just say, make it your own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5ZW-NpS5NFA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">As Shipp mentioned, she portrayed a specific version of Storm, as did Halle Berry. Is there a part of Storm\u2019s background she\u2019d like to see explored in the next iteration?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI would love to see Storm after her and T\u2019Challa [Black Panther],\u201d she revealed. \u201cI want to see that part of Storm\u2019s backstory brought into the through line, into her story at that moment. Because that Storm, that African goddess, we\u2019ve never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The untitled X-Men (2028?) reboot is currently fine tuning its screenplay, originally penned by Michael Waldron, with director Jake Schreier leading the charge in pre-production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Souce: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5ZW-NpS5NFA?si=cbJiH6T4RxXGmHyn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Collider<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alexandra Shipp portrayed Storm across the films in X-Men: Apocalypse and Dark Phoenix.
