In a great, in depth interview with Scott Tre over at his blog, the martial artist and actor Michael Jai White reveals that he is every bit as passionate about Black Panther as the many fans of his that would love nothing more than to see him in the role..
Scott Tre: If a major studio were to give you two hundred million dollars to make a movie and gave you complete creative control, what kind of movie would you make? What would be the ultimate Michael Jai White star vehicle?
Michael Jai White: If I had two hundred million I'd make like ten movies out of that (laughs). I would definitely make the Paul Robeson story. That would be my drama. I'd make Black Panther. I would do something with Black Panther that would make you forget about Batman. I guarantee you, if I got the chance to do Black Panther, everything would change. The genre would change.
