Chadwick Boseman is Black Panther! - Part 5

[Nokio]

I do think Marvel will have a minority led Superhero film because if they announce their entire schedule without Black Panther (although with Carol Danvers), and DC announces Aquaman with Jason Mamoa (who's Hawaiian of Polynesian lineage), then Marvel has some explaining to do. People will ask Kevin Feige:

- You do have a female superhero film on the schedule and that's good, but where's the minority led superhero film?

And they will keep asking him that question when he promotes every Marvel movie, including if they decide on Carol Danvers.

Well it's not up to Feige, I wish people would not assume it's up to him cause its not. He has no power to green light films. Yes I'm sure he has some pull based off his success at running Marvel but it's up to the top Disney Brass that decides to spend the money. Just like at WB, FOX, Universal, and Sony. The same old guard is there with the same mentality and stereotypes about minority films and what they should be and how the actors should be portrayed. This is why we get god awful films like Ride Along and Soul Plane and the over the top loud black comedians like Chris Tucker back in the day and Kevin Heart today. Or the black struggle movies set before Civil rites and the White teacher or savior character that goes into the tough Urban environment to save the bad gang banging, gun toting and drug dealing black and hispanic youths. These are the projects that Studio execs green light with no problem and not films like a well done BP film.

Studio Exec: Can't we put this Black Panther character in the US and he's saving the hood from a ruthless Gang leader that has the citizens in the projects living in terror. You know one or more is gonna love that idea.

Why do you assume that a BP movie will have an all black cast? For all we know, the MCU version of Wakanda could be totally different then the comic book version. It could look more like South Africa in terms of it's racial makeup. Not all characters from the comic books will be used. If there is one thing Marvel Studios has in all of their movies it's characters they made up for the movies, like Phil Coulson, all of the Humans in Thor except Jane Foster, The Other, etc. You should know by now that the MCU likes to divert from the comics a lot.

Plus, BP would be the perfect film for the MCU to use their lesser used heroes like Hawkeye or even Bruce Banner. He could still lead the film. Also Marvel Studios has not finished announcing it's schedule. You need to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

[DrCosmic]

I know your opinion is good theory but it's sadly not the case. Disney is not going to green light a 150 plus million movie (it needs that much to be done right) about a black superhero with a majority black cast. It's just not going to happen at all./

Then... don't have a majority black cast. You're really good at pointing out the problems, but these issues can be addressed.

You don't need to spend much time in Wakanda and BP will be on the run surrounded by white supporting characters??? I'm not sure what movie this will be but it's not Black Panther. The King of the most technologically advanced nation on Earth and he's on the run? From Who? A country that has kept off European armies as they tried to colonize the country as well is keep outsiders in modern times out(something the US can't do) now doesn't have enough of an military where I assume Klaw will prevail single handedly against and a force that's the equivalent to the US Secret Service but with more advanced Tech can't protect their King?? I'm not sure what movie this is but it's not my idea of a BP film. I don't see it and God I hope this isn't the premise. I guess if they go this route they can spend 25 million on the budget, which proves all what I've said about Hollywood.

In most adaptations Klaw puts a puppet leader into power. You seem to know the character, the idea that Klaw beats Wakanda single handedly makes little sense if you know about the many times that Klaw has posed a threat to Wakanda. It wouldn't be the first time T'Challa was ousted from the throne either.

Also, if it's an origin film, T'Challa wouldn't be king yet, and if it's not an origin film, T'Challa often travels from Wakanda in pursuit of whoever and whatever he deems a threat.

Well it's not up to Feige, I wish people would not assume it's up to him cause its not. He has no power to green light films. Yes I'm sure he has some pull based off his success at running Marvel but it's up to the top Disney Brass that decides to spend the money.

First off, Ride Along was a good movie, getcha mind right.

Second, Disney is largely hands off of Marvel Studios, like with Pixar. Whatever Feige says goes, because Disney never contradicts him, because he's very successful, which is why they bought MS in the first place, because Feige's leadership leads to success. They don't interfere with that. They can, sure, but they don't.

So basically, the problems you bring up are real, so real, but they can be solved.

The angle you want to take BP in is the one Denzel has been traveling along, basically. Black lead, white sidekick, white villain, assorted extras. Django too. It's something Hollywood is familiar with.

Greenlighting these racially diverse leads under a successful banner is something Disney is very familiar with. They do it under their Disney Princess line all the time.

Plus the CEO of Disney has said himself personally that his only involvement with Marvel Studios would be getting coffee for Feige.

Star Wars 7 is very diverse. Two of the main actors: one's a woman and the other is black. There's a Hispanic (Oscar Isaac) and another Black Woman (Lupita). There are also a couple of older actors (Von Sydow, Fisher, Ford and Hamill). Also a lot of women.

White sidekick should be Clint Barton. Already introduced in MCU, saves time on developing a backstory for him. Outside shot of Bruce Banner.

I expect BP not to be an All Black film, but a racially diverse one. That's the reason for my suggestion of MCU version of Wakanda being akin to South Africa if they want to go that route.

 

[XBRoughneck]

I just don't like Boseman for BP. I like the guy as an actor and and he seems cool in interviews that I've seen and he was good in 42 but he just doesn't seem Kingish to me.

Then again he is a good anctor and how many times have we all blasted an actor who was cast or was WTF, only to have the casting turn out good.

I was starting to worry that i was the only person not seeing Bossman as T'Challa. Seriously...in the entire world acting community is je the best we can come up with?

If we're settling I'd rather they go with a less known Lance Gross.

Athletic...can act...black...33 years old.

Nate Parker...34...has that chiseled jaw line...can act...use to be a wrestler...dude fricken looks straight out of marvel.

Sinqua Walls....look him up. He's my choice for T'Challa. A relative unknown actor ...6'3 former basketball player that looks the part...Sir Lancelot.

I wish i shared your faith in Hollywood execs. Again it's not up to Marvel in terms of getting a budget green lit. Sorry man, and again I'm not trying to be negative but as a person of color I know and have seen hollywood's track record. I'm not sure if you're white but if you are their is no reason for you to notice the type of films and boxes that minority characters are always placed in by Hollywood.

Ride Along was a good movie???? Clearly we didn't see the same movie. It wasn't a horrible movie but as Black person it gets old fast when you constantly see the same outline for every so called black film. I can give you a short rundown of films with a majority black cast.

1.Comedy with the jive and loud talking comedian who's the same character in every film or sometimes they dress in drag.

2.A film about slavery or some movie involving the Black struggle in America pre civil rites

3.A white teacher or savior or sorts that comes to the hood to save and help the troubled black youth. The kids are always bad and potty mouthed and the girls are always sassy. The scenario always involve a gun or guns, gangs and drugs and drug dealers and jail.

Did I miss anything. I would go into the list of stereotypes of Black actors and actresses but it's getting off topic

Well what's the point of doing a BP movie if it's going to be altered to the point of BP in name only? Yes I'm sure it won't be a 100 percent black cast but it seems odd if you're going to make a BP film and not include Wakanda much? Wakanda population is all black africans. It may be too much for Disney to get behind such a large cast that not a film about slavery. Man I'm looking at Hollywood's track record. Not much has changed.

Do not delude your self man if you believe that Disney is a 100 percent hands off. Believe me they go over everything that Marvel is going to do. For one main reason is that Execs has a responsibility to the parent company and the Share holders. They indeed give Feige leeway no doubt because of marvel's success but they do not give him a complete blank check. I can 100 percent for sure promise you that Disney will pause on a big budget black superhero film with a majority black cast and a lead that isn't Denzil or Will Smith who both have a good track record with films that make money.

 

[MadVillainy]

I'd take Chadwick Boseman over Lance Gross or Sinqua Walls anyday and everyday.

Boseman is an incredible talent and incredicbly versatile. Not "kingish" is a very silly complaint against him I think. It doesnt even really make sense.
Boseman did start off small much like where Gross and Walls are now, but he has proven himself two times over to be an Oscar caliber actor who can play different characters. And he's still not good enough?

It reminds me of people being against Joaquin Phoenix as Dr. Strange. Of course everyone is allowed their own opinion. And it's good because if everyone agree things would be boring. But I dont know what else Boseman needs to do for the doubters


Now Nate Parker? I like him a lot and I'd be down for him to play T'Challa too.

Well dude it's Star Wars so it's going to make cash. Not a good comparison with BP.

Wait so Wakanda is know like South Africa? Wouldn't that take away all the history of Wankanda (although fictional)being the only other African nation besides Ethiopia that was unable to be colonized by the European powers??? So I guess in the movie version it was colonized. Why would there be a King still to this day that rules when all monarchies no longer rules and the power is more in the hands of the people. I just don't see it. The reason Wakanda flourished and surpassed the rest of the world to become the most advanced nation on Earth is because of great leadership and left alone from outside influences.

 

[E-Man]

Fuqua was my number 1 choice for a Black Panther director, but after seeing The Equalizer today he pulled ahead of the pack. It's a damn good movie that gives me even more faith in the guy.

 

[Dr. Evil]

How would you feel about Gross as Luke Cage?

Parker would be an interesting choice. I'd be interested if he can do an accent.

 

[Dr. Evil]

BTW, I want to see Wakanda portrayed as more like this country, minus the Fascist Expansion of the 1930's and 1940's:

THe only thing of Gross Ive seen is one movie and a couple of episodes...all Tyler Perry works. I havent seen enough of him to make a good impression.

I will say his voice is not how I pictured Cage sounding

He was good in the short lived Crisis. I think they will go with an unknown for Cage and someone who is closer to age of Evans and Hemsworth (Early 30's) than someone closer in age of RDJ and Ruffalo (Mid 40's).

Hmm....Nate Parker as Cage?

I just remembered Gross' voice from that recent NBC series that got canned. He played a secret service agent. Hated it...removing his name from the hat.

Sinquo to me looks the part imo even though Boseman may be the better actor.

We'll agree to disagree. I wouldn't be mad if Boseman got the gig. I'd just rather they pick someone that fits my perception of what the Wakandan king would look like.

Hell...i don't like who they chose to play Wonder Woman and i honestly wouldnt have chosen the guy from Boardwalk to be Matt Murdock simply because i have a different vision of what those characters "should" look like.

Doesn't mean my opinion is more valid.



And yes, I think Sinqua has a more regal, more attractive look than Boseman.

Can we stop talking about Black Hollywood in this thread? You want to talk about it make a separate thread for it.

All we want to talk about is casting ideas, plot ideas and the director suggestions. No more talking about Black Hollywood anymore. We need to put a moratorium on talking about race in Hollywood in this thread.

Who's your idea for BP?

 

[Dr. Evil]

BTW, I'm moving more towards the David Oyelowo bandwagon for T'Challa. Nothing against Chiwetel Ejiofor at all, but he's my new choice for En Saba Nur.

That is assuming of course, Oyelowo has any interest in a Superhero movie. He has not said anything about that yet.

And I think you can forget about Denzel as T'Chaka. Not going to happen unless T'Chaka is beefed up dramatically.

 

[CaptainWagner]

You don't need to spend much time in Wakanda and BP will be on the run surrounded by white supporting characters??? I'm not sure what movie this will be but it's not Black Panther. The King of the most technologically advanced nation on Earth and he's on the run? From Who? A country that has kept off European armies as they tried to colonize the country as well is keep outsiders in modern times out(something the US can't do) now doesn't have enough of an military where I assume Klaw will prevail single handedly against and a force that's the equivalent to the US Secret Service but with more advanced Tech can't protect their King?? I'm not sure what movie this is but it's not my idea of a BP film. I don't see it and God I hope this isn't the premise. I guess if they go this route they can spend 25 million on the budget, which proves all what I've said about Hollywood.

Well, I was using the assumption that they would use his classic origin, where Klaw kills T'Chaka and T'Challa has to come back to avenge him and take the throne.

Yes please.
Get a mod to co sign this or something.

Ive participated in it in the past but it's gotten pretty annoying that anytime we get a decent convo in here it turns to race politics in Hollywood

It's so repetitive and boring. It really ruins this thread and actually alienates a lot of people.

And I think you can forget about Denzel as T'Chaka. Not going to happen unless T'Chaka is beefed up dramatically.

Chewy was my top choice for a while.
I was actually gonna post that Chewy is too old for what I want in a BP origin story, but turns out him and Boseman are the same age

In any case, Boseman can play younger than Chewy can. But if this was 5-10 years ago or they want to go for an older T'Challa, I'd say Chewy all the way.

Oyelowo is a good actor. I like him a lot. Not sure about him for T'Challa. I wouldnt be mad if he got the role though.

Anthony Mackie and Derek Luke both wouldve been great for T'Challa if they werent already in the MCU. Damn they really wasted Derek Luke.

1. Boseman
2. Parker

Those are my top choices.

And I think you can forget about Denzel as T'Chaka. Not going to happen unless T'Chaka is beefed up dramatically.

That's what they should do. Beef up T'Chaka a bit more.
Or you'll never know if he has a Anthony Hopkins as Odin size role he could do it especially if they throw money at him.

He was good in the short lived Crisis. I think they will go with an unknown for Cage and someone who is closer to age of Evans and Hemsworth (Early 30's) than someone closer in age of RDJ and Ruffalo (Mid 40's).

Hmm....Nate Parker as Cage?

Nah I think Parker is better than Cage and better suited for something else.

Honestly, I still think a really good choice for Cage is Tyrese.

I know a lot of people HATE him for the role. But honestly I think he can do everything required of being Cage, especially now that it's a TV show.

He can act tough (which he does in most movies), he can be funny (which he has done in the Fast and Furious movies), he has a somewhat gritty sounding, rough sounding, and voice with a slight "hood" accent (which is weird because his R&B voice is really smooth)

That's all I really expect from Luke Cage

That's all I really expect from Luke Cage

Ejiofor is 36 and Boseman is 32. Tyrese as Luke Cage would be an interesting option, but after seeing him in How to Get Away with Murder, Billy Brown would be an interesting choice too.

I saw earlier today an interesting choice for Shuri if Lupita is unavailable: Samira Wiley from Orange is the New Black. I saw her in a commercial for Pay Pal whole watching Shark Tank.

Denzel as T'Chaka in an Odin type role would be interesting although he's not a sequels type of actor.

Oyelowo would be my second choice for En Sabah Nur.

I thought he was younger but when I google Boseman it says he's 37. Whatever

I think Shuri should be younger. Samira Wiley is great. I love her on Orange is the New Black. I think she did not get enough recognition for her role this season. I like Lupita too.
I think for Shuri that Keke Palmer or someone of that sort would be better.


Billy Brown? Billy Brown?!

I never thought about it but he would be f***ing great as Luke Cage. I'd put him as my top choice.
I doubt he'll be able to get out of his commitment to How to Get Away With Murder

I think you should have T'Chaka killed off by Klaw, but closer to the end of the film. Like maybe during the climax of the 2nd act.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Earlier, I had Tika Sumpter playing Monica Lynne. Now I'm not so sure. Jennifer Hudson is a possibility. I saw the Meagan Good option, I don't know if she can sing though. I want to know if Gugu Mbatha Raw can sing (she's in the film "Beyond the Lights" also starring Nate Parker) before I can put her in my fan casting.

Would they swerve the love interest and make it another Monica? What is that relationship in the comics outside of their current team up in the Might Avengers?
