Common is just as bad as Tyrese and Crewes,

Idris Elba FTW

Yeah Common can't carry a flick (yet). He's been bad in his little roles.

 

[WillardNation]

I could see Idris Elba but I think Common was real good in Smokin' Aces and he barely had any screen time in Wanted

I want Henry Simmons for Cage. He's not a "name", but other than that he's absolutely perfect. Size, voice, presence; it's all there.

Hey, idk if anyone has or had a thread about this but i found an article about tyrese gibson playing the role of luke cage in a movie thats supposedlly supposed to come out in 2009. Being that marvel was going to be a little short on movies for the coming year i was really excited to see that we'd get another, of course, in addition to Wolverine. What do you guys think??



Can you talk about your upcoming role as Luke Cage in the Marvel big screen adaptation of that property? Are you looking to jump directly into another franchise here?

Tyrese Gibson: I am hoping to be a part of it. I met with Avi Arad a while ago about the project. Right now they are just starting to tweak the script. I will definitely be the first one to put my eyes on it. And we will figure out what happens after that.

How do you hope to see the character of Luke Cage evolve on screen? Do you have any ideas about what you want to bring to the project?

Tyrese Gibson: I really can't speak on it too much. It is something that I am really exciting about potentially being a part of.

This movie will not be coming out in 2009.

well, either way, im still excited

 

[COAL TIGER]

I want another black superhero movie but I was hoping it's Black Panther next. We just had one black superhero this year that was in jail. I don't want to see another one in jail soon.

 

[Spider-Vader]

But the thing is Luke Cage is umpteen times better than Hancock will ever be. I'd like both Black Panther & Luke Cage, I bet they'll be Marvel's next after The Avengers.

I think J. August Richards could be a great Luke Cage if he put on a bit more weight and muscle.

Ditto!

if all else fails.. Will Smith!

I'm going with Anthony Mackie from Half Nelson and We Are Marshall. Serious talent in this young man. A little thin but maybe he can work on that.

I think he was in She Hate Me, too..

 

[cerealkiller182]

After finally catching RocknRolla, I have solidifed Idris Elba as the best choice for Luke Cage. In it he was a criminal, but like a lot of Guy Ritchie movies, he is also witty, charismatic, bold, and street savvy. Hes a fairly big dude who could easily buff up. He can do an American accent (hes british)

 

[MilkmanDan]

I agree. He was also great as Stringer Bell in The Wire.

 

[WillardNation]

he looks a little old

 

[Rich Santoro]

Old ???

CK... He looks a little to smooth, New Jack City in that pic. Can he play a street tough / raised-as-a-troubled-Harlem-youth type???

 

[WillardNation]

Old ???

maybe it's the pic, but it looks like he has some gray in his beard and on his head.

 

[FLEX HECTIC]

Luke Cage should appear in the Black Panther Movie so that having one a king will offset the black man in jail story line!

 

[[A]]

2011, 2012.. if it ever comes out

 

[WillardNation]

and let's hope and pray and that no talent Tyrese is not going to be in it!

 

[Hypestyle]

nice for a quasi-update.. but of course these things can go any direction.. still hoping that a good Power Man project still ends up happening..

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Hmmmm...I'm not sure about Tyrese. He always seems to try too hard, like he is overacting. He was pretty good in Death Race though.
