Fresh from scooping an Oscar for best supporting actress, Lupita Nyongo’s fans now want her to appear on X – Men.
A section of the American audience has petitioned to have Lupita play Storm in the popular movie franchise. If the move were to suffice, Lupita would be replacing Haile berry, who is one of Hollywood’s most accomplished actresses.
According to Atlanta Blackstar, the petitioner, Jamie Broadnax wrote:
This is important because listening to the demands of your consumer base means more than your personal casting choices. She has the accent, the look, and the acting chops to play Storm as the comic book intended.
Please kindly take this into consideration and respect the demand of Marvel consumers and fans of this amazing franchise. This petition was started based on the overwhelming responses to my tweet;
“I volunteer as tribute to lead a social media charge to get Lupita cast as Storm.”
The petition already has over 700 signatures.
