Luke Cage casting call (merged)

[Isildur´s Heir]

Mike Colter!

He is an unknown so far, but you can see him in Million Dollar Baby, in the role of Big Willie Little.
I think the guy makes a great job for such a small role, and it was his first movie for all i know.

The man as the perfect height (he is taller then Eastwood), the body, the face, the voice....

I can´t seem to find any picture of the guy, not even from Million Dollar Baby, so, if anyone find a pic, post it here.

This is the only picture i found of the guy

 

[Chris Wallace]

You had me at "unknown".

 

[primemover]

Just hire Michael Jai White and be done with it.

I saw on IMD message board that Shawn Wayans might play Luke Cage. Any Thoughts?

 

[Chris Wallace]

I've got some thoughts, but they'd likely be censored.

It is bad enough Luke Cage is even being done.

 

[skorponok]

Better Cage than THor

 

[TRUE]

Whats wrong with a cage movie?

 

[Roughneck]

LL Cool J.

LL Cool J.

Sorry I think Henry Simmons IS Luke Cage.

 

[GammaMike]

Cage is one of my favorites, I think it would be a different flavor in superhero movies.

 

[ms.marvelous]

i dont think wayans would fit at all

See Elektra.

 

[Frank Manhattan]

LL Cool J

 

[TheVileOne]

I thought Singleton wanted Ving Rhames to play him?

 

[skorponok]

See Elektra.

The Elektra film has nothing to do with Luke Cage.

 

[MAVSFAN]

And Shawn Wayans will make it a stupid film.

Unless he takes a page from Jamie Foxx and actually becomes serious for a movie for once.

 

[Polomontana]

I was also reading Tyrese Gibson. He could play Cage sort of like his character in 2 Fast 2 Furious.

Here's is a link to a script review. Luke Cage: Hero for Hire.

There can be nobody else for this role. Tyrese...LOL.

I remember an interview from Wizard with the guy who was directing it, and he said "Imagine 50 Cent with superpowers."

Not really looking forward to the Luke Cage movie.

 

[blades_shades]

LL Cool J is Luke Cage.

 

[tamron]

Henry Simmons is a much better choice for Cage acting wise, though I would reluctantly admit LL has more box office potential. I abhor the idea of LL as Luke Cage. He'd simply play himself.

I would concur. But, I think the best way to introduce the Luke Cage character would be through other Marvel movies as a cameo. I think his character could be built up that way, as sort of a mystery hero in future Marvel movies, while his own movie is being developed. I think his popularity can be built up in the general public and then introduce him on a solo film.
I think the same goes for the Black Panther.
