X-Men star Alexandra Shipp thinks the time has finally come for a solo Storm movie.

Shipp tsaid that she hasn’t spoken to Twentieth Century Fox about the Storm solo movie yet but she definitely thinks it’s the perfect time to start thinking about it. However, with talks of the TV and film components of 20th Century Fox primed to be bought by Disney or Comcast, the future of the X-Men series is quite uncertain at the moment.

Though Shipp hasn’t commenced talks with Fox about a solo Storm movie, she seems to have some pretty strong ideas about what she would like to movie to entail.

She told The Hollywood Reporter, "There are so many different storylines that we could take on when it comes to Storm — whether she is losing her powers or going back to Africa. I just want there to be a message that 'This woman doesn't need a man'. Just one movie where a woman doesn't need a man, really.”
