They could do a movie with only Halle Berry and even if they were to show her very young, it wouldn't have to be the whole movie. Just flashbacks or something and even so, Halle Berry doesn't exactly look old. She could pull of a young Teen Look I think.

I disagree about the Youth years.
I can see a fairly action packed adventure about an orphaned Young African woman with platinum hair. Who just so happens to be the adopted daughter of the King of thieves (Think Aladdin).
I can see her:
1) Meeting a younger Xavier (To establish her x-man origin).
2)Meeting a young prince named T'challa (To foreshadow their future relationship).
3) She would have to face the Amahl Farouk AKA The Shadow King.
4) She discovers her powers.
These four elements combined with good casting and great writing could work and be AWESOME 😱

The only reason I say younger, is because there is more common knowledge about her origin.
If we did an older Storm movie (I would personally begin with the wedding) we would have to deal with the people asking questions like:
Where is Wolverine? I thought this was X-men.
Who is that guy in the cat suit?
Since when does Storm deserve her own movie?
An origin movie in my opinion would give everybody equal footing as far as the Mythos of the character is concerned, while at the same time introducing new fans to the character from the beginning.
The movie could end with a young Xavier offering to contact her when he gets his school up and running (his bout with the Shadow King, and his run in with Ororo are what makes him decide to form the school).
I think Halle Berry makes a perfect Storm. I would rather see a Storm movie then Wolverine or Magneto. Wolverine only has claws and healing factor. He is the most boring mutant and I'm getting bored of Magneto too. Same old villain and we need new villains and they should focus on other X-Men member like Cyclops,Storm,Professor Xavier,Jean Grey the Phoenix and Rogue. We need something different and they should try to bring on everything in X-Men.
What do you mean by "BRING ON EVERY X-MEN"???
That's too much. There's not enough time or movie film for that.
Did you not see the many Mutants put into X3 that were just basically background characters or made up characters or mutant powers mixed together into one entity?
Bringing on Every X-Men is not possible.

Man, I hate to be a jerk, but I really disagree with just about everything in that statement. No offence I guess, but...man s'like a forklift in the gut, no gettin around it.
Thought Halle Berry was maybe the worst possible choice for Storm.
Wolerine has an extremely rich past and his fighting style is more visceral, so you get more hand to hand fight scenes than special effects, which are really easy to badly.
Aside from wolverine, most of the other X-men members have always been members of a team, and when they've done Solo comics they flop on an epic scale, because they're part of a greater whole. None of them really has the power to carry a movie. Chuck is nothing without a team to lead. I would say the same about Cyclops. Jean...I'm past making logical argumets about her, so I'll just keep my mouth shut on that one. Rogue as she was done in the 1st 3 movies, has absolutly no charisma. Who wants to watch some little girl mope around for two hours? I like Storm, but I think she makes a better supporting character. Like trying to give CatWoman her own movie...
I dunno, if they did a Storm movie, might want to do the Morlocks story line. You get to use some cool characters. Marrow it high on my list of cool people. I really dig her rage 😄. It's also one of the few times, aside from before she met the X-men, where Storm really did much of anything on her own. But please, please, pleeease, Not Halle Berry. Storm isn't cute. She's stunning. She isn't delicate. She's powerful. She isn't soft and sweet. She's commanding and imposing. A Goddess not a f_ing concubine. There are about 20 black actresses out there who can pull off the kind of strength that Storm represents in terms of appearance and acting ability.
Am I the only one on this planet who sees casting as more than an effort to get the most broadly appealing eye-candy for your buck?
Not really, the point I think I was making was that most of the X-men aren't very compelling as individuals. They're meant to be a team. parts of a greater whole. I don't see that as a flaw. It's part of the design. I see Wolverine as one of a very few exceptions. He's always been a bit of a lone wolf type, which makes it easier for him to carry a movie. The rest of the X-men, Storm in particular loose the contrast of the other team members that brings out their unique qualities.

i actually disagree, and quite a bit at that...

same, x2 was on tv last night, and after the attack on the president, scott says some thing stupid like its probably magneto,
now after reading the first new x-men series and astonishing, hell even Tas series, we all know cyke doesnt jump to conclusions and has a little more common sense when it comes to guessing the bad guy,
im not saying it's all james marsden's fault, he does suck at cyclops tho, but the writers obviously couldnt care less about cyke
so storm bad idea, magneto bad idea, wolverine, bad idea but i might go see it if gambit is in it, i wanna see his power in action,
an emma frost one, woooyeah, but seeing as she wasnt in the movies very unlikely, maybe one of the students, kinda like new x-men series 2, that would be good

cyclops was a disaster in the movies... all they got right was the visor and the optic blast imo...

Ok, so you disagree, but why? You think Storm has enough game, especially played by Halle Berry, to carry a movie?
I know you like Scott, but do you really think he's compelling enough to hold the attention of a mainstream audience for 2 hours? What kind of story line are we looking at?
I don't know man, the X-men were never intended to be stand alone characters. They were meant to play off of each other. Sure they all have interesting back stories, but none of them really becomes who we know them as until they're X-men.
C'mon man, you disagree. Convince me 😄.
