1. Coco Jones

If the MCU wants an actress that looks like Storm ripped straight from the comics, that’s singer/actor Coco Jones. The 5’10 long-legged beauty is everything you’d expect to see from a superhero. She looks the part of the powerful future leader of the X-Men.

Of course, looks aren’t everything, which begs for the explanation as to why she’d make the perfect Storm. Jones has been acting since she was a child, starring in her fair share of shows like So Random! to Good Luck Charlie to the Web Series Five Points.

Most recently, Coco Jones starred in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reboot, Bel-Air. She plays the spoiled rich eldest Banks child Hilary. However, she doesn’t play the materialistic and often shallow version of the sitcom. Instead, Jones plays a career-driven, ambitious, and socially conscious version.

And she does so in a way that draws viewers in whether you love or hate the character Coco Jones makes her captivating. Her screen presence is undeniable, and it doesn’t hurt that she has an amazing, alluring voice that’s perfect for Storm. After all, she is a singer with some serious skills. At 25 years old, she is the perfect age to pull off a younger, or more mature version of Storm.
