Luke Cage casting call (merged)

[ANTOINE X]

Actors can do both comedy and action. Hell, Jamie Foxx did a bunch of comedies before he won an oscar for a dramatic role.

Please! Dont compare Jamie Fox to Terry that's an insult!

 

[RockSP]

To who?

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

no way would i want to see the Game as Cage. Sure there are alot of people who physical ressemble Luke, but i want to see someone with some acting chops under their belts. I don't think giving the Game acting lessons would be a good thing or enough ( Cough Cough Ja rule cough).For me i would want to see someone with some acting experience like Crewes or Anthony Ray Parker might be a good choice too. The only problem with Parker might be that he's too old by now, so again I would go with Crewes.

 

[ANTOINE X]

To who?

Well If I understand you were saying that like Jamie Fox , Terry started his career as a comedian. So if that's what you said then I dont agree cause Terry ain't Jamie;.

Yeah but who said that Luke cage is a complex character? If it was black panther I would never mention his name but were talking about Cage here. That's the most typical black character that you can have on every action movie. The only difference is he's got super power.

He doesn't have to be Jamie to be able to do more than comedy.

yeah and that's cool, but Man! give me somebody with some acting skills not right off the street.I dont care if he's a rapper or what as long as he's been acting for awhile and got some experience, even if it's comedy like Crewes. Plus Crewes can do more than just that. Getting somebody that needs acting lessons is asking for trouble and i think we all want a great Powerman flick.

 

[Savage]

Well they can always pull a Blade with this one. What I mean is actually making the movie version better than the comic book version. I mean if you think the comic book Luke Cage is a shallow character then why not make him more complex and interesting in the movie? It sure worked for Blade and I would love to see another Luke Cage series.

 

[terry78]

That's the problem right there, because it's Luke Cage and not Spider-Man suddenly he can be a one dimensional character?

 

[Savage]

When he's not witten by Bendis he tends to be. Which kinda sucks. Even Brubaker writes him as the one-dimensional token black guy.

Terry is a though guy no doubt but does he have the charisma of The game, The rock , Duncan or MJW? Not really. He's more a big pair of arm than anything else. On most of his roles he played as a big tough 'yes man'. The Game is not my best pick, I Think Micheal Jay White was the man for the job. He's got everything that Luke cage have except He's too small. The Game didn't prove anything yet but I saw him in Waist deep and he got my attention already.

 

[OwlBoy]

What charisma does Game have?

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

I dont know man.I never saw Waist Deep so i cant say much about The Game.I have seen Crewes and even in that silly ass movie Norbit.I think dude has charisma and can be quite intimidating to be Luke cage. Personally I would rather have someone who doesn't resemble Luke exactly who can act then someone who does and can't. Terry Crewes could pull that off.Even If they went with an unknown that would be fine as long as brother man can act. I cant see the game doing a great acting job.I also think cage is much more complex character then people give him credit for, even back in the tiara- wearing days.

 

[ANTOINE X]

Btw Terry look like cage but he can't act like cage. Terry reminds me a lot of MR.T. Do you want a Mr.T in a luke cage Movie?

 

[Hypestyle]

...Game would need his tats covered up.. Cage isn't known for that.. I guess skilled makeup people can do it..

Dr. Claire= Sanaa Lathan

D.W.= Jamie Kennedy

I'm not for Crews, necessarily. He doesn't especially "look" like Cage to me. I mean he's a big black dude but that doesn't mean much. But saying he can't act like Cage is a big assumption, IMO.

 

[Savage]

Well...yeah. Luke Cage is very much like Mr. T. Eat your vegetables and pitying fools and all that. I try to imagine Crewes playing the Cage from New Avengers married to Jessica Jones and with a baby and he really seems perfect for the character. The Game not so much. Crewes may be a joker but he can be serious when he needs to be and he can do it well. Not to mention he's one intimidating bastard.

Sure Crewes looks like Cage.

Um...

[Savage]

Yes, I saw that. I just don't see how. Oh well.

Well Hollywood s gonna take care of that, I dont think thats the first time they come we that problem.

I like Mr.T but he is more for Pg or G movies.

 

[ANTOINE X]

A big assumption? Whatch all his movie one more time and tell me if he knows how to act

I'm not for Crews, necessarily. He doesn't especially "look" like Cage to me. I mean he's a big black dude but that doesn't mean much. But saying he can't act like Cage is a big assumption, IMO.

 

[BLACKVULCAN]

Man.Crewes looks like Cage to me too, but different strokes for different folks. People think Brad Pitt looks like Thor and i don't get that at all. I just think that before an Ant-Man movie there should be a Powerman flick.Hell.Blade started this whole Marvel's movie making stuff off in the 1st place.It's not like people won't come to see a black superhero flick if it's done right.

 

[RockSP]

I don't know of any movies where he was the star. Every movie roll I've seen him in he was a bit player.
