None of them got next. They're all good actors, but none of them have real star charisma like Eddie Murphy/Denzel/Will Smith/Wesley Snipes showed when they were coming up. They'll be second-rate Laurence Fishburnes if they're lucky.
Do yall think John Boyega got next??

I'd argue Michael B does. And he's a really good actor. Chadwick is good but I feel like B. Jordan has him beat when it comes to just pure acting shyt and range
I wanna see more of these brehs try TV. Despite what season 2 turned out to be, Mahershala Ali getting that True Detective gig could be huge for him. MBJ is gonna be in the Fahrenheit 451 HBO movie. We're talking about the next Denzel or Will when I'd argue there's not even a next Idris yet, and he became a star off of two classic TV series.

Real talk. you got to watch the acting roles you take
Good shyt. Be the guy who's leading the next big prestige show, not the guy leading the next franchise that will rinse you out when your contract is up. Film isn't really the place for interesting stories now on the real unless its horror because horror can still be done with a minor budget, meaning you get less eyes watching you. I'd love to see Boyega do a detective series or be the head of a family. shyt I'm trying to move away from this type of shyt for our people, but one of them needs to walk over hot coals to play Bumpy Johnson in that new Bumpy Johnson show

Boseman is about 41 years old.... stop with that next talk
I really really feel like that's a complete reach. You and other cats here may have an issue with it and "hate" him for the role but he will not be treated as the new Anakin for it

Please, dude does accents and played Jackie Robinson and James Brown, two people with opposite dispositions. Michael B. is basically Michael B. in every role.
I disagree
Michael B Jordan is a horrible actor who plays the same character in every movie.
Chadwick is diverse and that's what makes him the better actor.
Michael on the Wire was doing great work as a child. The guy he's playing in Black Panther is nothing like the guy he played in that awkward moment, who is nothing like the guy he played in Fruitvale,or Chronicle. shyt it's nothing like Johnny. Fruitvale and Creed show his range.

I'm telling the truth even Denzel say that to young black actorsI really really feel like that's a complete reach. You and other cats here may have an issue with it and "hate" him for the role but he will not be treated as the new Anakin for it
You don't want to be typecast in Hollywerid . the roles you pick or the roles you don't can either break you or make you
And he's not going to be typecast which is my point. Yes, you want to watch your roles, but he won't be typecast. One of the main reasons why? He's a Brit. And hate to say it, but Brits will always have a leg up over American actors because of perception and because he can do the accent and switch it on and off. He can do stuff here, do stuff over there, do tv here, do tv there, and create an extremely diverse resume. Being able to walk between two worlds is a huge advantage

Black brtis aint getting no damm work in the U.K. like that (hence them complaining and making other moves) but i agree with the British "privilege" but at the end of the day is still Hollywerid and he's black
Also it's ton of great British actors or America that get shytty(or redundant ) roles
We will see what he do with Pacific Rim 2
Has he complained tho? The only reason I know who he is is because of British movies.
Roman Brady
Nobody Lives Forever
Absolutely not, wil smith and denzel were seen as 'symbols' very early and that in turn increased their chances at the BO, even if they didnt have romantic interests tptb would make sure whoever their female costar was was right. Boyega cant even get a peck on the cheek from daisy ridley.Smith or denzel wouldnt have got that asian as a means to steer them away from a white lead
I dont know if its age, this era of Hollywood or personal choice of just saying yes out of fear of being replaced. But he just seems like another Anthony mackie to me
I like marshala but mentioning mitchell of all ppl is the worse case of being a prisoner of the moment. Hes like 4'9 and and has a big azz face, great for roles like easy e but could you see him as a book of eli? Or I am legend? Seems more like a T-dog to me

erm how are you quantifying "got next".Got next as in the next anthony mackie? or got next as in one of these brothers is going to take the power back and have some stroke in hollywood. Cuz realistically speaking though holland was good is knick is he leading man material? Oyelowo was great as king but does he or anyone of these dudes command a scene as they enter without speaking? Jordan cannot play anything outside thuggish buggish with chip on shoulder.
