Cool.

 

[OutOfBoose]

Sounds interesting.

 

[Pink Ranger]

What a ****ing amazing true story. And what a gift to have Chadwick Boseman play this role.

 

[MbJ]

I'd heard this story a few years ago on a game forum of all places. Pretty cool if done right.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I just hope this is treated like a real historical film and not an unrealistic period action movie with airwalking, etc.

I hope it has some fantastic action, and not something slow and boring like the one in Blade of the Immortal.

 

[Boy Scout]

They’ve already got my money.

 

[HammerDown]

This could be very cool.

I swear this man is on a mission to play every black man in history and I can't hate on that.

Chadwick Boseman will win an Oscar one day for playing Rachel Dolezal.

Better start learning Japanese, Chadwick!

 

[Webfoot Hero]

Better start learning Japanese, Chadwick!

I bet he's already started.

 

[terry78]

He already probably speaks it, hell.

 

[HarryCanyon1981]

That's what i thought too, must be influenced by Afro Samurai.

 

[Pink Ranger]

Legend says Chadwick does his own dubs for the Japanese DVDs of MCU movies, plus the Mandarin and Hindi releases, and does the dubs for Black Widow because of his ability to mimic Scarlett Johanssen's voice perfectly.

 

[Gold Samurai]

He also built a working version of Wakanda just so his dog can run around

 

[Da-Scribe]

That's what i thought too, must be influenced by Afro Samurai.

I'd say it's the other way around it being a true story and all.

 

[Silvermoth]

Sounds like an amazing story

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Call me when he plays both Malcolm X and Mohammad Ali Clay.

Better start learning Japanese, Chadwick!

He'll probably speak English most of the time, unless he dubs his own lines in Japanese, in which case he'll only need to read what he's told to read.

Complete with a clean cold fusion generator that he invented, that powers his personal waterfall and supplies energy to his entire neighbourhood while absorbing CO2 emissions and converting them into Skittles that contain zero calories, plus protein, anti-oxidants and natural dietary fibre.

There's a video about Yasuke:

 

[Pink Ranger]

Yeah, I was wondering about this project now that Chadwick has sadly left us. I wonder if they're just going to shelve the project, or cast someone else in what could be a career-defining role.
