A "disservice" to have a man who has a black heritage to play a black man?

In that picture of Luke he looks even more light-skinned than ever. Rock with a goatee could pull that off.

^ I'd add Aquaman to that. Aquaman is cool.

Hawkman, too. Maybe the JSA and the Titans. Luke Cage, Black Panther, and Namor.

i wish to GOD they would have done this.

I feel he looks retarded with Pants and treaded boot soles. if they are so "alien" or even "magic" why would he have slacks on?

No thanks, The Rock just doesn't fit the role other than the body.

Is there a way to get a thread with a list of the rumors/info and which have been debunked and which have been proven.

I know a few other sections did that and it helps from going through all the different pages and new speculation threads.

Mods?

This. As mentioned before, Moon Knight is just a Batman ripoff who cant even sell a successful comic nowadays. His series just got cancelled...and it was being written by Marvel's biggest writer. Nova is basically a Green Lantern ripoff. Like you said, not everyone deserves to have a movie. Assuming you can make a movie out of any character is simply naive.

Focus on making movies for character with a specific niche or power that we havent seen onscreen. With Namor, you could have the first underwater superhero epic. With Dr. Strange, you have a superhero dealing in the occult and magic realms. With Nick Fury and SHIELD, you have the superhero version of James Bond. The audience dosent need Moon Knight when Batman is a better and more compelling version of Moon Knights archetype.

Umm... DC has plenty of heroes, too. Quantity isn't the reason that Marvel's ahead. It's because DC is the WB's *****.

Cage here looks to be about the same tone as the Rock is.

Also regardless of your personal opinion, it would not be a 'disservice' to the black community to have the Rock play Luke Cage since he is black. He just also happens to be Samoan as well.

Though personally I wouldn't cast the Rock as Luke Cage. I'd love to see him in a Marvel movie, but I've never really pictured him as Cage.

[Captain Marvel]

So if not Luke Cage then who should the Rock play?

And yeah, I'd love to see him in a Marvel movie, too. The man's just oodles of fun to see onscreen.

He should play the character no one.

[TheVileOne]

Really hope that 2 and a half hour running time is legit.

If they were to cast Will Smith as Blue Marvel, I guarantee you, he'd instantly become an A-List character.

Ok, I'll bite. How is one "socially" black enough? What're the prerequisites for that?

2 hours and 30 minutes is perfect! Really hope it's legit.

[Iceman]

2 & 1/2 hours would be perfect. Where is that from venom?
