John Singleton had been trying to make a Luke Cage movie with Ving Rhames since Rosewood. I've been waiting on Luke Cage and Black Panther movies since was a kid.


I like the Rock, he's got alot of charisma but I'm just gonna go ahead and say it. He's not BLACK ENOUGH for Luke Cage. The Rock is one of those "Ethically Ambiguous" actors who picks and chooses when he wants to represent African Americans. Luke Cage is a strong, no-nonsense, proud BLACK Man through and through. Cast a "genuine" African American for this movie. Michael J. White could NAIL this role...

ba ba ba ba ba

HE CANT ACT!

I hear you homey.... but if its true that they about to cast homey from The Wire as Johnny Flame in F4 remake.... then we black people have no solid argument to stand by, cuz even WE know thats wrong. :bryan:

Why bring that up?? Cuz the moment this discussion gets bigger thats the 1st response some other white guy is gonna throw out there.... I mean cac's is still mad at Idris Elba's character in Thor :lolbron:

this forums strange obsession with michael jai white is just comical,everyone on this forum suggests him for seemingl every black role.

for one,hes a shytty actor,and secondly hes a glorified straight to dvd actor and him in any starring role as a draw will flop horrendously,like everything else hes in.

It's not just this forum.

Look anywhere that there's a casting thread for a Black Superhero and you'll see his name and Idris Elba's.

Luke Cage
Black Panther
Blade
Green Lantern
Bishop
War Machine

I've seen people say Michael Jai White and Idris Elba should play those characters

FF is on Fox though and has no bearing on the cinematic shared Marvel Universe, which has so far been head and shoulders above the non-disney owned properties. Look what Fox did with the LAST FF franchise they had on their hands, they fukked up everything EXCEPT for Chris Evans as Johnny.

The shared Marvel Universe has extremely good momentum and buzz right now, if their going to give their Black superheros shine then they need to do it with the same respect for the source characters as they did their white counterparts. Luke Cage is 100% unequivocally BLACK and should be played by an African American actor PERIOD

He writes scripts? Picks and chooses? Like he's Will Smith in the game:laugh:....the Rock doesn't own the companies he does movies for. Sound like you have a psychological problem with how he looks and how his movies does numbers in these non pro Black roles. If he was a joke and a half name like those goofballs posted in this thread. .it wouldn't even be an issue. Some real backward personalities are on this Net shyt..the I hate Black women club in that locker room forum and wack shyt like this exists while propping Drake for being a homo, propping Chris Brown for beating women....stupid.

They obviously cast him for people like me that know little about comics but want to get people into the seats... possibly
