Apparently no one has told Alexandra Shipp about the Cold War standoff between 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios. The current situation makes a film featuring Storm and Black Panther highly unlikely. And for those trying to apply the same X-Men/Avengers loophole that allows Scarlett Witch and Quicksilver to be used by both studios, that doesn't apply here. Storm has only been an Avenger for about a year, which equates to about 2.4% of the character's fictional existence since 1975. However, who would have ever predicted the deal Marvel made with Sony for co-ownership of Spider-Man?
Still, it's nice to see that Shipp has done some research on her character. Said Shipp, "I want that movie so bad. I’ve got a pitch, I’m like coming up with a vision board, I want this movie to happen. Honestly it doesn’t have to be me - if Chadwick [Boseman] was like ‘you know what, I really want to do this with Halle [Berry]’ I’d be like yo, that’s fine at least make the movie."
In the comics, Black Panther and Storm were married in a 2006 storyline written by Eric Jerome Dickey, Axel Alonso and Reginald Hudlin. The two divorced in 2012 as part of the Avengers vs X-Men miniseries.
