Kat Graham could play X-Men's Storm
With the upcoming “X-Men: Age of Apocalypse” film set to introduce younger versions of some of the original X-Men characters, speculation on the casting of Storm has been up in the air. The latest rumour is that X-Men's Storm will be played by “The Vampire Diaries” star Kat Graham.
Even with Halle Berry's immense popularity as storm, Graham could be a good signing. Not only is she gorgeous and can easily pull off looking like a younger version of Berry, but also her role as Bonnie Bennett on the CW series is the perfect preparation for playing a strong, super-powered female.
In the Marvel Universe, mutant Storm (real name Orora Munroe) has the power to control the weather. With this power she can do more than just make it rain; she has the ability to control energy that the weather creates. She also has the ability to fly by gliding on wind currents, or using wind to throw off other people in a fight. But aside from her superpowers, Storm serves as one of the most important members of the team because of her ability to defuse tension, and keep the other members practical and grounded. Her lonely sense of independence probably originates from her life as an orphan before being found by Charles Xavier.
Bonnie Bennett on “The Vampire Diaries” serves as a voice of reason in much of the show. Bonnie has many similar personality traits as Storm does in the X-Men universe, being a caring yet powerful entity to her friends. The character of Bonnie is also an orphan like Storm, so Graham has already explored that type of lonely despair in a character.
Graham also has a career in the music industry as a singer and dancer. Her fitness is something that will make her job much easier when learning Storm's fight sequences. Overall, Graham looks to be a perfect fit for the role of a younger Storm in “X-Men: Age of Apocalypse”, which is set to release in May 27, 2016.
