Zazie Beetz Has Now Starred In The Two Highest Grossing R-Rated Films Of All-Time And Has Expressed Interest In Playing Storm In The MCU

‪Actress Zazie Beetz has starred in the two highest-grossing R-rated movies ever – Deadpool 2 and now Joker. In 2018, she appeared in Deadpool 2 as Domino, winning audiences over with her cool, collected demeanor and refusal to put up with Deadpool’s sass. Last month, she starred as Arthur Fleck’s “love interest” in Joker, but her actual importance and involvement in the plot have been subjects of great debate.‬

‪In Deadpool 2, Beetz played a fairly large role, one that proved important both to the plot and to the future of that franchise. She will more than likely be back, too. In Joker, she was a tertiary character, living in the same apartment building as Arthur. Fans have speculated that either she or at her encounters with Arthur are simply a figments of the failed comedian’s twisted imagination, but her character remains an important role in Arthur’s life regardless. And thanks to the controversial film’s box office success, Beetz can now add a second R-rated movie to her top box office earnings.‬

Zazie Beetz has also expressed interest in portraying Storm in the MCU, though Beetz “wouldn’t want to confuse audiences too much” after already playing Domino in DEADPOOL 2.

In her latest interview with ScreenGreek, Beetz was asked if she’d like another shot at Storm.

“Yeah, I think I would be down,” Beetz said. “I guess obviously it depends on the script and it depends on if I think it’s a good script,” she continued. “I think it would be super fun to do that. Storm also essentially is such an iconic character. I mean it would be kind of big shoes to fill, I think. I wouldn’t want to confuse audiences too much and be all over the place. And now I’m doing DC as well. I think it would be super fun. I think it would be a dope opportunity.”

Both Storm and Domino exist in the same film universe, so I doubt Disney would go for the idea, but who knows.
