Alexandra Shipp's casting as Storm in X-Men: Apocalypse has been taken as a very encouraging move by fans. Whilst she's a lot younger than the Ororo Munroe most often seen in the comics, at least she's a talented actress; and, presumably, one who'll put a lot more into the role than Halle Berry ever did, with her presence in the earlier films becoming more and more about the princely sums she was inexplicably paid in order to appear, and even less about her actual performance. Which was uniformly dire. Admittedly, part of that was down to the scripts (in fact, the aforementioned Joss Whedon was responsible for the worst line in superhero movie history, delivered by Berry). If they wanted to change that, and perhaps give Shipp more room to work than Berry ever got with her ever-decreasing role, it'd be nice to see the iconic Lifedeath €“ and it sequel €“ storyline brought to the big screen.
