WWE Women’s Champion Jade Cargill has confirmed that her team has been in active discussions with Marvel representatives about potentially playing Storm in a future X-Men project.

Speaking to Scott Johnson on the Going Ringside podcast, Cargill revealed that this is no longer just fan speculation. Real conversations are happening behind the scenes about bringing the iconic weather-controlling mutant to life on screen.

"I’ve had my people talk to a certain amount of people. 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,” Cargill said.

The connection between Cargill and Storm runs deep. She’s used the “Storm” nickname throughout her wrestling career, and her physical presence has drawn comparisons to the Marvel character from fans for years.

When asked about the role, Cargill expressed supreme confidence in her natural fit for the part.

"Of course. 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?” she declared.

Playing Storm would represent a significant Hollywood breakthrough for Cargill, following the path of other WWE stars like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, John Cena, and Dave Bautista who successfully transitioned from wrestling to major film franchises.

Cargill emphasized that portraying Storm isn’t just a career opportunity but a genuine passion project. The role has been on her radar since long before she entered professional wrestling, making any potential casting a dream come true for the current Women’s Champion.

With WrestleMania on the horizon, Cargill is positioned for maximum visibility on WWE’s biggest stage. A successful title defense there could only strengthen her case for the coveted Marvel role.
