Top 10 Actresses Who Could Play Storm In The MCU X-Men (2025 Ranking) ⚡⛈️⚡

Описание: The Weather Goddess Ororo Munroe aka Storm of the X-Men. This mighty mutant made her iconic debut in comic books in Giant-Size X-Men #1 back in 1975, and half a century later she continues to reign as one of the most popular characters in comic book history. As one of the very first Black women ever to stand at the forefront of a major superhero team, she has worn many crowns — queen, warrior, leader of the X-Men, weather goddess, omega level mutant — embodying both elegance and unstoppable force. For decades, fans have dreamed of a live-action Storm who truly moves, commands, and inspires like the Ororo Monroe we’ve cherished on the page. This video is my freshly updated 2025 list.

STORM ACTRESS REQUIREMENTS

DARKER
The first two live-action Storms were played by lighter-skinned actresses (Halle Berry, Alexandra Shipp). This time? We need a queen with deep melanin to match the comics. (All 10 qualify.)

5’7” OR TALLER
Not a deal-breaker, but the taller the better for presence. (6 of the 10 hit this mark.)

25 TO 40 YEARS OLD
Old enough for gravitas, young enough to lock in for a decade-plus run. (7 of the 10 fit.)

DRAMA ACTING
Non-negotiable — Storm isn’t just lightning bolts; she’s gravitas and authority. (9 of 10 pass here.)
Exception Fashion Model Anok Yai who is ranked 8th, so I think she's a long shot!

ACTION EXPERIENCE
Not mandatory but nice to have to show they can be an action hero (5 of the 10 have it.)

NOT OVEREXPOSED
We’re not casting Beyoncé. No one here is so famous they’d overshadow the whole X-Men roster. (10 for 10.)

My 2025 list isn’t random — I’m looking for someone who embodies Storm’s raw power, poise, and regal energy. The Fox era gave us a watered-down version. We’ve waited long enough. Here’s the rundown:

#10 – Tika Sumpter
Elegant, magnetic, and a screen veteran. Only drawback is timing — in her prime, she’d be top three.

#9 – Yaya DaCosta
High-fashion edge with acting chops to match. Has a natural authority that fills the frame.

#8 – Anok Yai
The visual definition of Storm. Her viral 2019 costume proved she owns the look — now it’s about giving her the role.

#7 – Aja Naomi King
Brings emotional weight and intelligence to every part. Would crush the quieter, queenly side of Ororo.

#6 – Jodie Turner-Smith
Commanding height, fierce eyes, and a voice that could silence a room. She’s cinematic royalty.

#5 – Jessica Allain
Statuesque, action-ready, and still early in her career — meaning she can grow into the role over a decade.

#4 – Deborah Ayorinde
Emotive powerhouse. Her work in Them showed the depth and steel needed for Storm’s most dramatic arcs.

#3 – DeWanda Wise
A mix of charm, intensity, and screen presence. Brings both modern star power and gravitas.

#2 – Jayme Lawson
Young, highly trained, and already showing award-caliber range. Could anchor Storm stories for years.

And my #1 pick? The one who checks every box and then some? You’ll have to watch the full video to see why she’s the queen in my book.
