Final week, it was reported that Depraved star Cynthia Erivo stated in an interview that her subsequent dream position can be to tackle Storm in Marvel’s rebooted X-Males.
This didn’t look like it was too far-fetched, for the rising star to throw her witches hat within the ring, but when the rumors are true, the studio already has her on their radar.
On the most recent episode of The Hot Mic (by way of CBM), insider Jeff Sneider stated he is heard that there’s “precise curiosity” in enlisting Erivo to play the weather-manipulating mutant.
The reporter additionally indicated that he is aware of about one other particular person (we’re undecided if it is an actor or director) on the studio’s radar for the undertaking, however will not be revealing that piece of stories for now.
Whether or not Erivo has truly entered talks or is just one attainable contender is tough to say, however we do know that she would leap on the probability to play Ororo Munroe, as she beforehand said:
“I actually wish to play Storm. I do know it sounds frivolous, however I believe we’ve not uncovered how grand she is and all of that internal turmoil that she has, so I believe there is a world the place we may do one thing like that.”
It was beforehand circulating that the studio is on the lookout for actors within the early to mid-20s age vary to play the MCU’s Kids of the Atom, which might make sense as one other rumored actor on Marvel’s thoughts is Stranger Issues alum Sadie Sink, who has been stated to be up for the position of Jean Gray.
Though there’s nothing to say that every character must be the identical age, and a few members of the group could not tackle extra of a mentor/trainer position.
We’ll simply have to attend and see. Marvel has been protecting fairly quiet about their X-Males film up to now. All we all know for positive is that Michael Lesslie is presently engaged on the script, and a director is their subsequent place to fill. Keep tuned for extra updates.
