The Internet’s Favorite X-Men Cosplayer Has Officially Signed With WWE

At this point, the X-Men joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe seems about as inevitable as Thanos (in his own mind anyway). Theories about Mutants entering the MCU are already flooding the internet, while Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and Wolverine appearing in «Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness» and «Deadpool 3,» respectively, has only lent more weight to the speculation. If the heroes do join the franchise, they’ll need actors to portray them, and Jade Cargill has already thrown her name into the hat to play Storm.

During an interview with Women’s Wrestling Talk, Cargill explained that her main goal is to make the leap to Hollywood someday, and she believes that she’s the right choice to play the «X-Men» character. «I’m a strong Black woman and I take no crap from anyone,» she explained. «I know myself and I control the weather, when I’m in the ring, I control the audience. I get them to stand up, I get them to cheer, I get them to boo me. You can find nobody better.»

Of course, the MCU has already shown a willingness to cast WWE Superstars in the past. Dave Bautista famously portrayed Drax the Destroyer in the «Guardians of the Galaxy» movies and Seth Rollins will play a yet-to-be-named character in «Captain America: Brave New World.» However, it remains to be seen if Marvel and Disney will consider bringing Cargill into the mix as well.
