10 Former X-Men Actors Perfect For The MCU

2. Alexandra Shipp

Alexandra Shipp was a badass Storm who unfortunately got very little opportunity to be a badass Storm.

Another talented actress pushed to the sidelines in X-Men, Shipp is a rising star who could certainly cement herself as a strong presence in the MCU. While she would be a great Storm to pair alongside Chadwick Boseman's Black Panther (and in an alternate reality, would have given a fantastic performance with Michael B. Jordan), it's extremely unlikely she'll be considered for the role.

However, that doesn't mean there's not room for her in another corner of the MCU. Of course, everyone hopes that the MCU Netflix series can finally tie into the MCU proper and bring that impressive cast to the mainstream, but if not, Shipp should reboot one of the show's roles.
