Cynthia Erivo, who starred in the breakout hit Wicked, said her dream role is to play the mutant heroine Storm.
In an interview with NBR, the host asked the on-screen Elphaba about “another dream role you want to manifest, right here, right now?”
“I really want to play Storm,” the actress replied. "I know it sounds frivolous."
"But I think we haven’t uncovered how grand she is and all of that inner turmoil that she has. So I think that there’ might be a world in which we could, you know, do somethinglikethat," the 38-year-old added.
Previously, Halle Berry, who played Storm, opened up about why she did not appear in Deadpool & Wolverine, which hosted several past mutant heroes.
“Blake [Lively] asked me one time, I ran into her at a Marc Jacobs fashion show, and she said, ‘Would you ever be in my husband [Ryan Reynolds’] movie as Storm?’ I said, ‘Yeah, if he asked me,’ but he never asked me," she told Comic Book.
