[RUMOR] Janelle Monáe to play Storm in Black Panther 2

Janelle Monáe says she wants to play as Storm in Black Panther 2. This could possibly happen as X-Men is now owned by Disney and Marvel Studios is owned by Disney too.

The singer and actress fills in Empire that she had talked with director Ryan Coogler about it when he was recording songs in Atlanta while filming of Black Panther was still going on.

One of my dreams has always been to play as Storm. I don't know if she will come in Black Panther but it would be a dream to have her in it. I don't know if the directors are thinking about that or not but a lot of women have played as Storm and also did an exceptional job in it, and I would love to be in that line of artists.

In the Marvel Comics, Storm actually ends up marrying T'Challa aka Black Panther. So there's chances the MCU may follow it. But we know Marvel Studios don't really completely follow Marvel Comics in case of Marvel movies in MCU. But Kevin Feige did say X-Men are years away to be introduced in Marvel Cinematic Universe last year. As Black Panther is supposed to release in the year 2022, it might be the year of the heroic entry of the X-Men in Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Janelle Monáe is rumored to appear as Storm in Black Panther 2. Rumors also offer that Namor, King of Atlantis, will be the villain of this movie as it was stated during Avengers Endgame about an earthquake under the ocean. On that matter, Okoye, played by Danai Gurira says "It's an earthquake under the ocean. We handle it by not handling it." This might prove the existence of Namor in the MCU timeline and by the tone of Okoye's speech, it seems that interfering in that matter may cause problems in life. This might refer to the Kingdom of Atlantis and its king, Namor.

Black Panther 2 will hit the big screen on May 6, 2022.
