WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill just dropped a major tease — and Marvel fans better start paying attention.
During an interview on Going Ringside, Cargill was asked about the nonstop comparisons to Storm from X-Men, and whether Marvel Studios had ever reached out. While she didn’t confirm any deals in place, Cargill made it crystal clear that the door is wide open—and she’s ready to walk through it.
“I’ve had my people, agents, talk to a certain amount of people from there. I’m hoping that things do transpire and they do see that this is something that I’ve always been passionate about—my entire life. Let’s keep our fingers crossed, guys.”
She wasn’t shy about how natural the casting would be either—no CGI required.
“Of course I’m open to playing Storm. We don’t have to use any of the CGI. This is how it looks. Like, what do we need? What do we need, guys?”
Cargill has long been fan-cast as the iconic Marvel mutant, and given her look and commanding presence, it’s easy to see why people are pushing for it. With the MCU set to reboot the X-Men franchise in the coming years, this is the kind of casting talk that could turn into real momentum.
