Cast Tessa Thompson as Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse!!

I think Tessa has the acting chops to take on this role and hold her own with already established 'younger' versions of the older cast from the original franchise.

This would be a great commercial franchise move for her at this stage.

Chadwick Boseman has Black Panther

Michael Jordan has Fantastic Four

Anthony Mackie has Falcon (In whichever Marvel movie they continue to cast him in)

Ray Fisher has Cyborg (in Justice League movies) but that one is questionable, as to where or if that will lead to something in the long run. (Just my opinion)

It's not just about art house anymore baby!

Too short and too light.

Halle Berry is 5'5 and is light skinned. Tessa is 5'4 and also light skinned. They are both incredibly beautiful. Tessa is 32 years old, but she looks like she's in her 20s. I think she'd make a great Storm.

Yes and she was wrongly cast. Halle is a little browner than Tessa.

16 years ago Angela Bassett would have made the perfect storm. [No Pun Intended]
