Chadwick Boseman to Star in Samurai Drama 'Yasuke'

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

An African should have been casted for this role, considering that ados dont want us playing them.

don't bring this nonsense to the film room


signed... an African

 

[Big Boss]

I don't see why he would have had to. What little is known of Yasuke's physique was that he was 6'2 and dark-skinned. He should have kept the Black Panther body for this role. Tom Cruise trained but didn't have to go emaciated for The Last Samurai.

 

[Mindfield333]

Tom Cruise was the white samurai, so why not? (Obligatory Paul Mooney joke.)

the difference is this actually happened

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

 

[OmegaK2099]

Do you think he'll be 6 ft in the movie?

 

[Ziggiy]

Chadwick himself stands 6 feet

fukking dope.

Def. seems like something is up w/ Chadwick though reading on this - that amount of weight loss can't be for this role.
