Static would have had that Spider-man appeal. Virgil Hawkins would be a positive image to kids growing up in the city. Definitely a missed opportunity.

DC's best chess move, however, would be Vixen. Marvel definitely doesn't have any Black female lead films in the pipeline as far as we know. DC greenlighting a Vixen film would be the ultimate :youngsabo: to Marvel. I have a feeling they think Vixen would remind people too much of Halle Berry's Catwoman though.


here's the thing with Static there's multiple avenues you can go with. As an adult , I'd preferably like to see Milestone Static not D.C. static shock - more a dark hood movie, kinda taking him through first getting powers and starting out small. Him defeated bullies who also now have super powers. But I could see that also working in a spider man way as well

not to hate

but they really need to come out with Static after this lol - when this does numbers, which it will. D.C. needs to really make a gutter super hero film

DC doesn't own Static.....That character is owned by Milestone Media.

Fighting wise he'd be more ideal. He'd be more of a threat to Boseman on screen. However, he's more one note. You need someone with more charisma thats going to help carry the film.

Also chances are Coogler is going to make Killmonger have more depth to him. You'd need a better actor in that role. Especially with how meh Marvel villains have been for a long time.

Aldis Hodge would have been great if they wanted to use lesser known actor. However, Michael B. Jordan should do good in the role.

should be gl john stewart, i'm gonna keep saying it till someone hears me.....so stop trying to give him another role that's already filled lol...

Yup.

I don't know why people make a big deal about the height of actors in films as if most actors aren't short. Filmmakers know how to make actors appear taller than they actually are.

Man we've come such a long way but I commend all those brothas for trying. It was so hard trying to get Black Superhero films made. To the point that brothas created their own original films. Which was good thing too because we weren't waiting for the system to say yes. (Meteroman, Blankman and Hancock are not based on comics) Marvel owes a lot of the success for it's resurgence in the 2000's to "Blade" as well.

(Hancock is an original concept with no comic origin. It's the highest grossing Black Superhero film of all time at over 600 Million Worldwide and Top 25 all time in Superhero History at the box office.)

It was moreseo there was no climate for them. But people don't give Robert Townsend enough respect for what he did. All black cast, some stellar names at the time, written, starring and directed by - but like I said, there was no climate for it. But at least Marvel does acknowledge what Blade did for them and comic book movies in general.
