What Halle Berry's 'Storm' Could've Worn In X-MEN (2000)
Michele Michel is a costume designer for films and television shows. Hit the jump to see Michele's costume illustrations for Bryan Singer's very first X-Men film. Hit the jump to see costume designs for Storm, Sabretooth, Magneto and Mystique.
"You know what happens when a toad gets struck by lightning? The same thing that happens to everything else."
After X-Men: Days of Future Past screenwriter Simon Kinberg revealed that we'll see younger versions of Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey in X-Men: Apocalypse it made me want to look back at the film that started this all, 2000's X-Men. Along my journey I happened to come across designs/illustrations Michele Michel did for Storm (Halle Berry), Magneto (Ian McKellen), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), and Sabertooth (Tyler Mane). Fans were upset that all of the members of the X-Men wore basically the same black leather costumes, which was quite a departure from their colorful source material. Would they have rather seen Halle Berry's Storm wearing the costume on the right?
X-MEN (2000) - In the near future, "mutants" are the next link in the chain of evolution. Each are born with a genetic mutation that manifests into extraordinary powers. Under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier (Patrick Stewart), the world's most powerful telepath, these "gifted" students have learned to control and direct their respective powers for the greater good of mankind. But when the Professor's former colleague and friend, Erik Lehnsherr a.k.a. Magneto (Ian McKellen) wages war against them and society, Xavier brings together a special group of mutants called "X-Men" to protect the world that fears them.
