Black manta originally was a black supremacist so it makes sense for him to have black in the name. Y'all new jack comic book fans should learn y'all history

Since when do comic book movies go by what originally happened? He won't be a black supremacist so no need to call him Black Manta.

Winter Soldier but let's not derail the thread though:coffee:

I'm not sure Mamoa can carry a movie but if they emphasize the action they can make up for what he might lack as an actor.

I like Manta (please drop the Black) and Nate Parker looks close enough to the Young Justice version:

Interesting choice but he's too good for it, I would prefer Parker sawyers tbh

Superman comes from krypton
Batman parents get shot
Spider-Man gets bitten by a radioactive spider
Iron man gets taken hostage and builds a suit of armor
Hank pym discovers pym particles
Spawn goes to hell and comes back

:whoo:

Thought they would have went with Ocean Master.

Hopefully he gets a costume that's like the young justice one. Always thought his comic costume was trash.


Nate Parker.. nah

Because black characters don't need black in front of their names. It only works for Panther.

Shocked to find the voice actor isn't Phil lamarr, black Vulcan sounds just like green lantern

I fukks with Michael Williams as he's clearly a great actor...but I really hope they don't go with an "Alex Cross". I was hoping for someone a little more younger and physically imposing.
For those talking about height, he's 5'10....:skip:

Aldis Hodge needs to throw his name out there.

i like the choice, but no, he doesnt need to go for manta...cause he should be john stewart...i've been saying that shyt since day 1...he would kill that role....

posted it in the aquaman thread, but i'll post it here:

for black manta, an actor i thought of: sean blakemore...he has the look and size to pull off a great manta....
