Cargill Confirms Marvel Talks
During an interview with Going Ringside, Cargill addressed the long-standing fan castings and confirmed she is actively pursuing the role.
“I’ve had my people talk to a certain amount of people [from Marvel],” Cargill shared. “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.”
With her signature white hair, powerful physique, and undeniable charisma, fans have been comparing Cargill to Ororo Munroe (Storm) since she first stepped into the spotlight. Cargill leaned into the comparison, confidently stating that she embodies the character’s look.
“Of course [I want to play] Storm,” she said. “We don’t have to use any of the CGI. This is how I look. It’s like, what do we need?”
A Perfect Fit for the Role
Cargill’s connection to the character goes beyond her appearance. Her WWE entrance music is called “A Storm Is Coming,” with the phrase spoken right before her theme music hits, signaling her dominant arrival. This clever branding has only fueled the excitement among fans who believe she is the perfect choice to bring the weather-wielding mutant to life for a new generation.
The role of Storm has been famously portrayed by Halle Berry in the original X-Men film series and by Alexandra Shipp in the prequel films. With the X-Men set to be introduced into the MCU, the coveted role is one of the most anticipated casting decisions in Hollywood.
As Marvel Studios plans its next phases, Cargill is making it clear she’s ready for the call. “Let’s keep our fingers crossed, guys and let’s keep pushing,” she urged her supporters.
