Singer and actress Chloe Bailey has publicly expressed interest in playing Storm in Marvel Studios' upcoming X-Men film, responding to fan speculation on social media rather than any official casting news. The film, directed by Jake Schreier, is currently building its cast, with Samara Weaving and Kit Connor already confirmed as Emma Frost and Scott Summers respectively, fuelling intense fan interest in who might land the remaining major roles.

Bailey engaged with fans on X who suggested she would suit the role, agreeing with one post and later sharing photos of herself in a white wig and chain mail outfit captioned "a girl can dream". However, actress Jayme Lawson has reportedly emerged as the rumoured frontrunner for Storm, while Cailee Spaeny is said to be under consideration for Rogue. No casting has been officially confirmed, but attention is turning to Disney's D23 event, expected within days, where further announcements are anticipated.
