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...

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.
To be fair, Idris Elba is the best black actor there is right now. He would kill as John Stewart or T'Challa. Absolutely kill.
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.
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
