    be realistic here....the fact that Marvel is giving her yet another chance at a solo book is pretty amazing...you are never going to see a solo movie or animated series for Storm

    I don't think we'll ever get X-men solo movies of anyone but the ALL MIGHTY WOLVERINE (<-sarcasm).

    As for cartoons, I think they're done now...

    Let's see how Storm is portrayed by a new actress in Apocalypse first. As much as I would love a Storm solo film, I'd rather see a significant actress do her justice in a X-film first before we just crank out a Storm movie for the sake of 'because we can.'

    And a Storm cartoon would be nice. Although I wouldn't mine a X-men cartoon where she is at her best and has enough screentime like in X-men TAS

    Storm isn't as popular as she was in the 90's.

    Fox was essentially the first studio to take a chance on a big budget, tent pole, summer blockbuster comic book film. So, ideally, they probably did have the fans in mind.

    When Fox first started this trend, it was ok because comic book movies weren't cool, and we were so happy just to see the characters on screen, we didn't care that the costumes were wrong, or if the characters acted different. But now we have Marvel making faithful adaptions, and Fox's disregard for source material dosen't fly anymore because we don't have to settle.

    @captainmarvel4ever: they're going to run themselves into the ground eventually..

    Some people predict this could kill comic book movies, that it could be the newt "Batman and Robin". *Sniffle* I love the Fantastic Four, I don't want this to happen.

    I wouldn't necessarily say they "disregard" the source material....especially on the heels of producing "Days of Future Past", which is one of the most famous story lines the X-Men have ever had. Which also ended with franchise retconning its own history.

    It also should be known that "Fox" isn't some cruel entity that hovers around zapping movies with badness. The films are a collaborative process of writers, directors, set designers etc. I mean people usually blast X3 for being bad...which it was, but it had to secure its summer release date a year in advance and Bryan Singer dropped out halfway through...the later Matthew Vaughn dropped out. Its hard to really blame the film and did the most it could with what it had.

    Marvel Studios isn't perfect either, they are notorious for pissing off actors and directors for altering their ideas to better fit within their restrictive "shared universe"

    @jhazzroucher: How do you know ?_? I think a storm animated movie would be the most likely with a focus on storm from child to adult and her times as queen and member / every now and then leader of x-men and yes wolverine and jean grey and others will appear in movie but it will be mostly focused on storm's life. A live movie would probably cost too much plus her weather powers effects can cost $ $ $ $ :/ .

    @awesomeperson: Sadly you my be right but i don't see him as a powerful person( healing and claws lol meow ) is not that interesting plus he always tries to go after magneto from movie to wolverine and the x-men and get's his butt handed to him -_- , he should know better. He can't attack from a distance,he can't fly,he can't shield someone,etc but i will agree he is bold,has a dark past,can kick " some " butt by himself depending on the enemy,can track one by smell,etc does make him pretty interesting to say the least. Polaris on the hand can attack from distances and storm can do the same,plus both can shield someone and fly. Storm has a inertresting past and the same goes for scarlet witch. I guess everyone likes what they like:).

    @awesomeperson: He makes money because they focus on him too much,characters like storm and scarlet witch could make marvel good money if marvel focused on them as heavily as they do wolverine but mtv lisa lee long was saying that marvel is looking to focus on other characters and teams in a few years :) . Wolverine will meow away into the past.

    @awesomeperson: Hugh is a good actor and i think halle is going be replaced in upcoming movie as storm and rumor has it that storm in upcoming movie is going be kinda dark ^_^ . Even if storm never gets a solo movie animated or live,in a x-men movie which is about a team and not wolverine,storm should be given a fair amount of screen time. So we will see how she is shown in upcoming movie.

    Storm is normally seen as a protective( x-men evolution,she tried to protect students and professor x ),powerful ( 90s x-men tv show).

    A Storm solo movie would happen sooner if the next x-men movie X-men Apocalypse will gross more than a billion dollars. And it won't just be a Storm solo movie, we could get more solo movies from other x-men characters as well as other x-team movies like X-factor, excalibur, generation x, etc.

    I don't think her traditional character concept would support a solo as well as some others. Personally, I find her character history to have too many kooky elements to be interesting to more than a niche audience. Would love a writer to get in there and revitalize the character - the Ultimate and AOA versions are pretty solid IMO.

    But ultimately, I always see her as a member of an ensemble cast like most of the X-Men, and don't really think she rates a solo series.

    @phoenixofthetides: Her past has it's light and dark sides. A live movie could focus on her child hood and up to when she becomes a x-men and therefor known faces will appear in the movie which can help it make money.

    Or they can do a animated movie plus i was reading that her weather powers gets limited in movies because it cost too much -_- , so i guess telekinesis is cheaper than weather effects -_- .

    I think her 616 childhood story sucks, and should just be streamlined. I loved Ultimate Storm because everything made sense, and there was nothing loony in there:

    1. She was an African immigrant by way of Morocco
    2. Moved to New York then Texas
    3. Became a car thief in the U.S.
    4. Joined the X-Men.

    It was a breath of fresh air to me because this was the American immigration story that is still recognizable today.

    But the 616 version, with the mother from a random magical tribe marrying a photographer who were killed in Egypt leaving Ororo lying under rubble until she was found and inducted into a gang of child pickpockets, met Xavier, but flew off, became a "goddess", with a magical amulet, etc. is just so Silver Age and borderline in so many ways is just messy. That's not even getting into a Nordic Great Goddess "blessing" her ancestors with Nordic features. Whatever movie or solo project that results should avoid her 616 childhood like the plague unless it strips it down to more interesting details.

    I think every fan of a B-tier character with a niche fan base, not just Storm fans, need to contact a writer and the comic book company offering to start a Kickstarter for a limited run series that would make you all happy. I'd love to see some quality stories result from a merger between crowdfunding and the current publishing industry. Not sure if that would work, since big publishers are so small-minded, but you never know.

    Well i seen movies that had characters with weak or crazy past and the movie still did good which probably was because of action:)

    Storm to some people have a interesting past plus she can get enemies that are only for the movie=action=$=marvel lazy bosses happy.

    @stormweatherwitchgoddessqueenx: of course tk is cheaper....just wire a few objects to move. For Storm she needed a green screen in DOFP. In X-1 i think they used actual fans AND a green screen.
