As the conversation continues, opinions are mixed on whether Cynthia Erivo is suited for the role of Storm. The character of Storm is not only a powerful figure but also the second-in-command of the X-Men after Cyclops. Many argue that the character needs to radiate beauty, charisma, and a strong screen presence—qualities some critics believe Erivo may lack despite her undeniable talent.
