Jade Cargill has revealed that she’s making moves to potentially play the role of iconic X-Men character Storm in a future Marvel project.
The current WWE Women’s Champion has been compared to Storm for her entire wrestling career. Cargill‘s WWE entrance music is even called “A Storm Is Coming,” with those titular words being spoken before her theme kicks in.
During an interview with Going Ringside, Cargill was asked about possibly playing Storm in the near future.
“I’ve had my people talk to a certain amount of people [from Marvel],” Cargill said. “I’m hoping that things do transpire and they do see that this is something that I’ve always been passionate about my entire life. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, guys and let’s keep pushing.”
“Of course [I want to play] Storm. We don’t have to use any of the CGI. This is how I look. It’s like, what do we need? What do we need, guys? Of course.”
Halle Berry and Alexandra Shipp have famously both played Storm, with Shipp‘s latest appearance being 2019’s Dark Phoenix. Berry played Storm from the 2000 live action X-Men blockbuster until 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.
