Yeah I think most of the dudes wanting MJW to play every black superhero don’t know shyt about the characters in the first place. He’d make a great Luke Cage but the people wanting him to be Black Panther are out of their damn minds. Black Panther is way more than a martial artist and has never been a large man not to mention MJW is too old.

Nah man. Cress is perfect for this. He has that grizzled look and weariness of someone who’s too old for this shyt but can’t resist helping people. And he’s got great chemistry with the rest of the cast. He feels like a dad and a husband and an educator. Not to say Michael can’t do those things but the show works as is and everyone is perfectly cast. Why mess with a good thing?

I don't think anyone wanted him to be T'Challa. Personally I would've used him as T'Chaka though. :manny:

CW should cancel Arrow and just do a Suicide Squad show (call it Task Force X to avoid any issues with people whining about how insensitive it is to use suicide in a show title). That way White could be on it as Bronze Tiger, hire some fat chick to play a back form the dead Amanda Waller and toss in a few other villain characters from the CW shows.
