No one on that shortlist should be Black Panther.

Elba is Heimdall, Jordan is corny and goofy, Bossman isn't threatening, Ejiofor is a babyface and cannot play an intimidating guy.

This man should be Black Panther if they go for the older route

David Oyelowo, can act as well.
isnt that just your bias betraying you? you rule out ejifor (who has frown lines) for being babyface and not being able to do threatening and your pick is david oyeolowo? did you see jack reacher? this guy is a babyface and cant do intimidating at all :heh:

:what:A baby face relates to someone having an innocent looking face, which is the type of face Ejiofor has, find me a pic where he looks remotely intimidating. Breh looks like a young Spike Lee :heh:.

I'm also talking about posture, demeanor and body language, Ejiofor tried to be "threatening" in Children of Men and Four Brothers and it was comical, couldn't take him seriously, he can't do them type of characters, that's why he's always a soft, laid back, friendly or reluctant character(12 years, American Gangster, Pretty little Things, Serenity, 2012, Redbelt etc).

Idris Elba should be BP... but he's heimdell. I can't see them confusing there casual fan base by letting him be panther. So he's out...

t'challa is in his 20s, why do y'all want a 40 yr old man playing him :beli:


Is T'Challa at 20 had the world experience of a man twice his age. It takes gravitas to pull that off and a lot of the younger actors simply lack that certain factor. People are suggesting Idris because he's shown (along with Chiwetol) the gravitas to pull it off.

Plus Idris has the right swagger that would fit right alongside Robert Downey, Chris Evans, and Hemworth without being upstaged

have current heimdall (elba) be t'challa in disguise, infiltrated asgard on some recon mission over whatever, mastering the science/"magic" to get there and dupe everyone or some shyt. then hire some other actor to play the "real" heimdall kept in wakanda in a cell or something, anti-hero entrance for panther before he eventually joins avengers :yeshrug:

It should be Boseman, I want to role the role to be a break out for whoever gets it. Jordan is bubbling, Elba and Ejiofor are mainstream now so they don't need it.

...if we go on how the studio think, they will pick Idris because he can garner the biggest box office draw, but the guy from Leverage would be a perfect candidate:yeshrug:

If they ever do Black Panther it will most likely be in an Avengers movie first. And if they go with a younger T'Challa they will probably cast Boseman even though I would dread the accent that he would probably very using. If I was casting though I would use one of the many young black British actors that are out there.

Boseman would be a terrible T'challa, he doesn't have the presense to kill the role out of the people on that :duck: list the only person I see killing it is Ejiofor

T'challa isn't in his 20's and was never shown being in his 20's so MBJ name being there just proved its:duck:.

I do believe the movie is coming since Marvel seem to be pushing him in the books right now and the trademark stuff from a few months ago.
