Casting Storm

Between the implications of WandaVision and Marvel teasing that mutants are coming, we've been thinking a lot about the next iteration of X-Men. You absolutely cannot think about X-Men without thinking about Storm. Of course, like any other live-action film, the casting will be a major key. We decided to use our imaginations and think about who could be cast as the next Storm. Quick disclaimer: We don't know what age Storm will be in the new films, so the ages will vary.
