Warning: Spoilers forStorm #7!As one of Marvel’s greatest superheroes, I’m anxiously anticipating the MCU debut ofStorm, and a new comic has me convinced that she would make an amazing addition to theThormovies. As a powerful weather witch with goddess-level abilities, Storm has long been connected to the God of Thunder, but their upcoming storyline in her solo series has already shown serious potential to inspire an electrifying cinematic team-up.
Storm#7 by Murewa Ayodele and Luciano Vecchio sees Ororo Munroe face off against a group of newly-introduced Storm Gods. After their amazing action-packed battle,I’m already hoping to see these new gods make their way into the MCU alongside Storm, and a potentialThor 5makes perfect sense for their collective debut.
The first glimpse of Storm in an MCU-adjacent project has already seenher wielding Mjölnir inWhat If…?, and Ororo’s ongoing comic finally pairs her with Thor in this issue’s cliffhanger. They grace Mateus Manhanini’s cover of the upcomingStorm#8, looking powerful side-by-side.

Storm#7 by Murewa Ayodele, Luciano Vecchio, Alex Guimarães, Fer Sifuentes-Sujo, and Travis Lanham
Though she obviously has years of history on the X-Men to pull from, I’m lovingStorm’s current series as a solo heroso much that I think she could make her MCU debut as a standalone Storm God. The first six issues of the comic series were already spectacular, butStorm #7has an intense, dramatic, and just plain cool action scene that the MCU needs more of. When Storm goes up against four unique new gods to add to Marvel’s pantheon, their fight brilliantly showcases her immense power, even reminding audiences and Ororo herself of her magical bloodline.
Storm’s display of power in this battle is truly something to behold…
Storm’s display of power in this battle is truly something to behold, with her manifesting a giant octopus figure to help her fend off several gods being just one of her amazing feats. My favorite part of the scene is when she furiously slices off some hair when under pressure, allowing herself to regroup and properly prepare for the next round of the fight.Fellow weather-based Avenger Thorarrives after she evades, seemingly to put a stop to the fight somehow, but it’s almost inevitable that the two heroes will team up to put a stop to the Storm Gods.
Marvel’s Storm Gods Are Perfect for the MCU and Should Be in a PotentialThor 5
Losing the Comedic Tone for Fearsome New Foes
Storm #7sees the debut of somepowerful new gods to the Marvel Universe, but there’s still so much more to be seen in the upcoming issues, and I can’t wait to see what unfolds as they face the might of Thor and Storm together. Their first fight against Storm and a newly-redesigned Maggott is gorgeously depicted, and each individual god has a fresh character design and moment in the fight that immediately makes them major heavy-hitters. The gods Mamaragan, Sango, Susanoo, and Chaacall come from different cultures, and equally electrify the scene in their introductions.
Not only do I want to see more of the Storm Gods featured throughout Marvel Comics after their debut, but I think they also make the perfect possible antagonists for a potential fifth film in theThorfranchise. Many people had a problem with the way the MCU chose to adaptGorr the God Butcher’s story from the comicsinThor: Love and Thunder, aside from a great Christian Bale performance. This gives them a chance to rectify that with an amazing battle of the gods, and the stunning blueprint was already laid out by Ayodele and Vecchio inStorm#7.
Storm Is Bound to Make an Official MCU Debut, And I’ll Take It Anywhere We Can Get It
But a Thor Team-Up Makes a Lot of Sense
Of course, an X-Men project is the most likely place for Storm to make an MCU debut, but I think Storm’s solo series proves that she can totally stand on her own. Whether it’s with her fellow mutants, or with Black Panther, Thor, or the Avengers, Storm deserves to be highlighted as one of Marvel’s top-tier superheroes andone of the publisher’s most powerful characters. The idea ofher debuting in a possibleThor 5really boils down to the new Storm Godsbeing the perfect antagonists, and theStormseries has firmly established them as part of Ororo’s story.
Move Over, Thor - Marvel Officially Debuts the OTHER Storm Gods of the Marvel Universe
In the grand scope of Marvel’s cosmology, Thor is only one god among many pantheons, as a new Storm story is reminding readers with its new gods.
WhileStorm#7 already beautifully showcased a ferocious fight with the Storm Gods, it seems that the real showdown is still to come in future issues. As the Asgardian God of Thunder joins the battle alongside Earth’s Mightiest Mutant, I think the action-packed and high-stakes drama will continue to prove that the MCU needs to take some inspiration from the currentStormseries’ adventures. Even thoughStormhas many powerful and exciting superhero allies to choose from, her team-up withThorin comics and beyond stands to further solidify her deserved status as a true goddess in the Marvel Universe.
Thor
TheThorfranchise is a key component of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), focusing on the Asgardian god of thunder, Thor Odinson. The series explores Thor’s journey from a headstrong prince to a wise and powerful hero who plays a central role in the Avengers and the broader MCU narrative. The franchise is known for its blend of epic fantasy, Norse mythology, and humor, particularly in the later films directed by Taika Waititi.
