With the X-Men now set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans are eagerly anticipating the inclusion of iconic characters like Storm. Among the fan favorites for the role, Beyonce stands out for obvious reasons. The arrival of the X-Men in the MCU is no longer a mere wish but a definite reality, thanks to Marvel Studios regaining the rights to these beloved characters through Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox.
While Marvel Studios has not yet announced its first X-Men project, it’s unlikely that they will keep these iconic characters on the sidelines for too long. Leaving them unused would be akin to drafting a star player and keeping them on the bench for the entire season; such valuable assets shouldn’t be left to gather dust.
Beyonce Replaces Halle Berry As Storm In Fan Art
Fueled by the swirling rumors of Beyonce’s possible portrayal of Storm, artist ApexForm unleashes their creativity and transforms her into the iconic character. The breathtaking concept art draws inspiration from Storm’s comic book appearance, showcasing Beyonce in the dazzling silver suit designed by Jim Lee during the ’90s, a period when Storm became the formidable leader of the X-Men Gold Team.
Naturally, this Storm concept art showcases the character’s trademark white hair, a true symbol of her power. A touch of lightning gracefully weaves through the artwork, paying homage to Storm’s incredible ability to wield and control the forces of weather.
Despite the persistent rumors and speculations surrounding Beyonce’s potential role as Storm in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about any casting decisions. As of now, there is no official confirmation or denial regarding Beyonce’s involvement as Storm, leaving fans eagerly waiting for any updates on the matter.
Beyonce Was In Talks With Disney For A Lucrative Deal
In 2020, Newsweek reported that Beyonce was allegedly in discussions with Disney for a three-film deal, with speculations suggesting her potential MCU debut as Storm in Black Panther 2. However, there has been no official confirmation or further updates regarding this matter from either Beyonce or Marvel Studios.
Despite the initial reports and speculations, Beyonce did not make her MCU debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever or any other Marvel film as of now. However, the buzz around her potential role as Storm generated significant excitement among fans, adding to the eagerness to see the iconic character join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Although the rumors didn’t materialize, there remains a possibility that Disney signed a deal with Beyonce, which may not have been put into action yet. The untimely passing of Chadwick Boseman in 2020 prompted a rewrite of Black Panther 2, which could have altered the original plan to introduce Storm through the film. So, the potential for Beyonce to join the MCU as Storm might still be on the horizon.
