the op article/report does seem sketchy simply because idris is already playing a viking in the thor/avengers universe. its not like ghost rider/spiderman/xmen where they're each separate universes and franchises

with that said, i root for all black actors to do well but michael b. needs to :camby: as far as t'challa considerations. Any of the other 3 actors named, as well as aldis hodge as someone mentioned, would be fantastic choices. I wouldn't mind one bit if they went the young actor route with hodge or boseman but if there's any validity to this then id root for chiwetel to get it, and of course idris is that dude too! (unlikely, again, as that would be)


chris evans can play human torch adnd captain america

id rather elba be like a elder of the tribe

Would have made the perfect Panther 15 or so years ago.

Gravitas check
Blackness check
Handsomeness check
Action hero credibility check
Box office appeal check
Acting chops check

If I could get a time machine, he would be my T'chala.

: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).
thats all well a good but where in this post do u disprove my statement about david olyelowo..Jack reacher was his highest profile role and he was a villain who was just as comical at being intimidating as u describe ejifor.At least ejifor had some presence in serenity.Can u say the same of oleylowo in anything hes been evil in? :mjpls:
