how credible is this.. i mean i hear nothing but bad things about bleedingcool
But if Halle returns as Storm in this movie this will be the 4th movie Storm has been featured in and still waiting on that number for Ms. Marvel..
So Storm will have been in four films, but Marvel doesn't believe in her enough to give her a solo title...?
I don't know what Marvel thinks in regards to why they haven't given her a solo title. Now if you are asking my opinion, I don't believe that Marvel as a company feel that they can market a black and female character to a market heavily saturated with buyers who tend to be white and male. By all indication that would seem to be true. But look at what Marvel has allowed. 1.) They have given Ms. Marvel3 ongoings even though the first wto had mediocre sales, yet one of their most recognizable and iconic characters hasn't been given that same shot. 2.) They have Gambit a shot at an ongoing that isn't doing too well now; however, a character who was able to go toe to toe against DC's leading lady and beat her in essentially a popularity contest never got a chance to have her own solo title. To me the article was dead on when they stated it was a shame Storm hasn't gotten one. She deserves one based on all accounts of her presence in and out of the comics. So yes Storm will potentially be in four films, in all if not most X-men and non-Xmen related cartoons, in most X-men themed and non-xmen themed games, having her own ride yet she doesn't have a solo title.
If she's so popular in other media, shouldn't they try and give her an ongoing? If people know and like her then it might sell.@evilvegeta74 said:

Carol Danvers aka Ms. Marvel aka Captain Marvel has had several titles over the years, and never been cast in movies. I',m not trying to make a career comparison on C. Danvers and Storm's career, I'm comparing Wonder Womans Power set to C.Danvers which is why I said C. Danvers is Marvels Wonder Woman.
I get that, I was really just responding to butterflykysses comment.@Blood1991 said:

@V_Scarlotte_Rose: Ms. M was kind of a no name that Rogue all, but replaced. When she came back during House of M Marvel really pushed for her to be a big name character. She got her own series "didn't last long", she stood next to Marvel's biggest heroes and was never written to be lesser than them, she came with alot a great story potential let off from the 80's, and she and Jessica were developed side by side making both characters stronger. Compared to where she was Carol has grown leaps and bounds. In short she's come along way from being the female counter part of a character who is more famous for being dead than living.
Ah. I knew most of that. :P
50 Issues doesn't seem so bad. More than her previous series anyway.
I think her success in that run is what cemented Marvel's wanting to promote her to be their number one. Not many female counter parts overshadow the male so she has an edge that She Hulk doesn't "but Red She Hulk might", Storm is risky and Marvel knows it. If they can't keep a black males solo going they don't figure they could keep a black woman's. Black Widow under the right team and with the right concept I think could hold a successful solo too. Rogue is a maybe in my eyes too. Having her be a mutant investigator could be interesting with her power set. Anyway power to Carol I hope she does well and Marvel catches up to DC's women one day.
Maybe that success, edge and Marvel promoting her are why some people are saying that she's Marvels Wonder Woman.
But yeah, hopefully Carol and many other Marvel women will get some proper solo success soon. :)
