Luke Cage casting call (merged)

[Isildur´s Heir]

One thing i can say about Luke Cage...i just hope Ernie Hudson is there.
But give him a big role....

 

[tamron]

The cast according to IMDb:

K.D. Aubert as Jessica Jones
Tyrese Gibson as Luke Cage (in talks)
Terrence Howard a DiamondBack (in negotiations)
T.I. as unknown (in talks)

I think it's false info.

If it happens to be true, I don't see why they'd make Jessica Jones black, why not just have the female lead be Misty Knight?

I'm really hoping and praying this film never gets off the ground and Marvel gets the rights back. Between Singleton, Tyrese and a script by Ben Ramsey, I just don't think the film will be very good at this point.

I'd like to see Tyrese Gibson playing Cage after watching his movies like 2 Fast 2 Furious and Waist Deep.

I was watching the Rampage vs Liddell slaughter today on pay per view and couldn't help but think this dude Rampage is exactly the type to play Luke Cage. I've never seen him before but the guy has the look for sure and a bit of a personality for this type of thug/convict role.

[Mr. Socko]

I lol'd


And I want Ernie Hudson to have a role too.

Quentin "Rampage" Jackson should get this role...period. He wouldn't even need to act because he's already that character. He's got my vote now for sure. He owned Henderson last night in the Championship fight.

 

[see-m]

Morris Chestnut is also a good choice

 

[TNC9852002]

I almost forgot about him.

Morris has a sort of...cult-like following behind him. He's not a big star at all, yet he's almost become a household name. I'm not sure if he's the right age for it though. I'd prefer someone a little younger.

He's a fighter, not an actor. He may be able to be himself in the ring or wherever, but it's totally different in front of cameras on a real set.

I could see him as Luke Cage.

 

[Mr Jide]

I don't even know why they're bothering with a luke cage film right about now. KD Aubert is hot as hell but her as Jess doesn't sit well with me. Bring on a black panther movie first.

I think this character is different though. The person who plays it needs to come across like a selfish cocky arrogant thug...with charisma. No acting required here.

Acting like a selfish cocky arrogant thug might work for the film, but being a selfish cocky arrogant thug would probably not be so good for the actual production.

 

[Advanced Dark]

The guy is funny as hell. That's what he does to intimidate people but if you watch his interviews the guys pretty cool. He's not a phony clown wrestler.

 

[Docker2.0]

Anyone but freaking Tyrese!! I have never boycotted a superhero flick becuase I don't like the actor playing the role but I'll be damned if I don't do it now!

 

[Closerframe]

Jamie Foxx

 

[Docker2.0]

And him. ANyone but Tyrese or Fox.

 

[Brotha-Man]

I heard that Luke Cage was getting his own movie with John Singleton producing.

I'd love to see that, but I hope Tyrese ain't playing Luke Cage.

Cage should be played by someone who doesn't look the part. Tyrese looks like he's too young for the part, but that's just my opinion.
