On top of that, Erivo herself has openly expressed multiple times that Storm is a dream role for her.<\/p><div class=\"banner banner--content\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9014371380271401\"     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><!-- Marvel (Na Mat\u00e9ria) | HTML --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"     style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\"     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9014371380271401\"     data-ad-slot=\"4293518781\"><\/ins><script>     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3\/5 \u2013 Storm beyond the spectacle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the comics, Ororo Munroe has never been just \u201cthe weather mutant.\u201d She is a major leader of the <a href=\"https:\/\/legadodamarvel.com.br\/en\/tag\/x-men\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"62\">X-Men<\/a>, a political figure, a cultural symbol, and a character deeply connected to Wakanda and global issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An actress with Erivo\u2019s profile would reinforce this more mature, political, and complex side of the character within the MCU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4\/5 \u2013 The right moment for mutants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The rumor appears at a strategic time.
