Who Is The New Denzel? Hollywood Struggles To Launch Next Black Stars

[dora_da_destroyer]

Stop trying to make Michael B Jordan happen, he aint happening. Y'all gonna learn this the hard way when he ruins that Black Panther movie completely.


Don't say I didn't try to warn y'all

You gonna have to explain this. MBJ is a star, if not only because he’s been luckily cast into great/successful movies (and a large swath of women love him). Now if we’re discussing his skill, then yea, he’s not great.

Thought it was just me, I know I’m not tied into the acting scene at all but absolutely none of those names rang a bell outside of Winston and Letitia and even then, are they really getting play, have they landed stuff outside of BP?

Edit: I forgot she did have a black mirror episode, one of the best episodes actually

There’s a lot of brothas & sistas getting work in Hollywood in meaningful roles which is crazy

If I had to give a guess though I’m going with Damson Idris. The kid is a talented actor and I think he can walk that fine line of Black & White America. He just has to find his way into some big roles.

I think for the women Tessa Thompson is one big one away

 

[Dushane Hill]

Jon Boyega

Stephan James just stood toe to toe with one of the biggest movie stars ever in Julia Roberts. I'd say he has a bright future ahead of him

 

[AnonymityX1000]

All the major players on Atlanta are getting great roles and a lot of them. Good for them and well deserved.
