Announced last week to be playing the 1980s iteration of Halle Berry's Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse, Alexandra Shipp took to Instagram last night to reveal how she's currently preparing for the role. "You might be wondering what someone would do when they're sick on a Saturday night...", she says in the video before falling into a pile of comics and yelling, "homework!" In addition to some old X-Men comics, there are some issues of the recent "Storm" solo series by writer Greg Pak in Shipp's collection. Thanks to a heads up via Vixen Varsity, check out the quick vid below, along with cool fan art (by BossLogic) featuring Alexandra Ship as Storm further down. What do you think?

Girl, dedicated. #storm

I was wondering if they were going to get the same actress who cameoed as Storm in First Class

FordEl - 1/25/2015, 10:57 AM

The Aaliyah movie did her so bad. Its funny bc Zendaya was cast first but dropped out bc she didnt like how it was coming out.

LEVITIKUZ - 1/25/2015, 11:00 AM

I see WonderFilledOreo has made the first comment.

TheBeard - 1/25/2015, 11:03 AM

Well considering how low Halle Berry set the bar she can only be better.

TruGalt - 1/25/2015, 11:03 AM

Great choice!

BlackPhillip - 1/25/2015, 11:04 AM

She's cute. I wonder if she'll have an accent.

Nickk - 1/25/2015, 11:05 AM

just looked her up and she is 23 years old, so I don't feel bad saying how hot she is...she looked younger so I felt weird thinking she was hot. can't wait for this X-men movie, The X-men movies are always like gambling as they are either really good or really bad

SuperSomething616 - 1/25/2015, 11:06 AM

Looks well better than Who the hell is Halle Berry...

BritishMonkey - 1/25/2015, 11:08 AM

Oh gods, please be good.

Effusion - 1/25/2015, 11:09 AM

She's pretty.

thewonderer - 1/25/2015, 11:09 AM

Deleted my comment. Comments so far are pretty nice. Hope they stay that way.

@dio
SO MUCH NERD RAGE FILLED MY SOUL WHEN SHE DID THAT! Then my better senses came to me & it was replaced by jealousy and envy, not being those comics she was rubbing her body onto. All is well.

LEVITIKUZ - 1/25/2015, 11:10 AM

@Brainiac13

EH MAYBE STRIKES AGAIN!!!

Del Toro said a year ago that his line up would have John, Zatanna, Swamp Thing, Deadman, Spectre, and Etrigan.

thewolfx - 1/25/2015, 11:12 AM

She looks good but her acting sucks ass

Fck you singer if she screwsup storm.. again

drfate - 1/25/2015, 11:13 AM

beautiful girl; but Storm is a 6 foot, darkskinned African Goddess type, the contrast of white hair and jet black skin, the accent, the regal atmosphere would set the mold for what Storm is meant to be.

Screw you Singer. Can't wait until you're out of the X franchise.

DatScarletPimPerNeLL - 1/25/2015, 11:19 AM

@FordEl
that Aaliyah "biopic" travesty...ugh. I place blame squarely between the firm, manly shoulders of "co-producer" Wendell Williams and her/his lack of...all things beginning with the words "Action" & ending with "Cut".

LehnsienZad - 1/25/2015, 11:20 AM

BABE

FixitO7 - 1/25/2015, 11:23 AM

I want the mohawk look for the next film

jCamer0n - 1/25/2015, 11:26 AM

Twentieth Century Fox will Own Disney/MCU come 2016

Like they did in 2014

X-men: DOFP > Cap 2 & GOTG

and in 2011

X-men First Class > Cap 1 & Thor 1

datNAMEtho - 1/25/2015, 11:27 AM

I hope they give her a mohawk haircut, that'd be awesome.

TheRationalNerd - 1/25/2015, 11:30 AM

Lol, But wait I thought cast members weren't allowed to read comics?

TheRationalNerd - 1/25/2015, 11:31 AM

@oNosferatuZodd

So expect to see you opening day as well? :)
