Can someone explain to me why Janelle Monae isn’t playing Storm in every X-Men movie already

I think this image might be skirting the NSFW line, but it makes me laugh and, given the kind of stuff I usually post here, is impossible for me to not tumbl. So, out of politeness I’m just going to link to it.

A very good example of a drawing that, as I looked at it longer, moved from Thinking “Oh, Cute” —> Smiling —> Laughing —> Laughing Like An Idiot. Good on you, Marco D’Alfonso.

Behind the scenes, the plan all along was for Storm to get a new look following her adventure with Yukio. However, the mohawk design by Paul Smith was initially a joke!
Smith recounted the tale on CBR’s message boards a few years back:
“If we’re talkin’ Storm, that was a bad joke that got way outta’ hand.
“Storm had just lost most of her hair and she needed a hairstyle out of what was left. I did a number of portraits, all quite lovely and feminine, thank you very much. As a JOKE, I included a shot of her as Mr. T. You know, the kind of shot where they HAVE to go the other way. Weezie [X-Men editor Louise Simonson]’s response? ‘They’re going to hang us whichever way we go. Let’s commit the murder.’
“I argued it was a joke and a monstrously bad idea but, given my departure following 175 was set prior to beginning my run, my vote didn’t count. So I did what I could with what I had left. I don’t know that Dave [Cockrum, original designer of Storm] ever really forgave me for that.”
This is a pretty shocking revelation for a lover of the Storm-hawk.
