Luke Cage casting call (merged)

[RockSP]

Why cant be Luke cage be a Light Skinned African American? I'm a light skinned black guy and I never see those type of Superheros, just the same sterotypical black Superheros who talk slang and live in the ghetto.

Light skin blacks don't talk slang and live in the ghetto?

 

[Roughneck]

By the way LL could do a heros for hire with ray park. Think Rush Hour meets comics. What do yall think?

That would be phenomenal.

 

[reflect4ever]

That would be phenomenal.

 

[Spider-Kurt]

LL's the man but I don't wanna see Luke Cage licking his lips for 90 minutes, beating up bad guys for Fubu gear. Simmons is perfect IMO!

 

[Kmack]

I say an unknown.

lol

 

[Lobo]

I always wanted LL as Cage, but I thought Tyrese alraedy had the part locked. And for those who don't know who Tyrese is

 

[Red Mask]

Please do NOT put Iron Fist in a Luke Cage film.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

Former Spawn, Michael Jai White

But he has no starpower.

Guys i like luke cage but isn't it just a little ridiculous to think he can support a film? I would love to see him team up with a group or even him and iron fist doing a heros for hire buddy film would be very original and funny. Plus i'm a little pissed marvel will get behind a luke film gung ho and leave Captain Freakin America waiting till who knows when?!?

Urban films draw. "Are We There Yet?" easily doubled it's production budget. Luke Cage can be made quickly, with a modest budget, and if marketed well, can be successful. I think a Heroes for Hire fim in the vein of Rush Hour might be marketable than Cage alone, but they could always have each do their own solo films and then build up the crossover.

Why not, theyre best friends and frankly a Heroes for Hire movie would be ten times more interesting that a solo Luke Cage or Iron Fist movie.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

No...no...no, you need a Luke Cage and Iron Fist solo movie first (believe me when i say, you can make a kick ass solo movie about both characters) and then go with the Heroes for Hire movie.

As for Luke Cage, Mike Colter is the man for the job.

Luke Cage maybe. I still dont think that Iron Fist can carry his own movie. Both are capable of making awesome movies but it depends on how its handled especially with iron Fist, we can have another Blade (the first one) or another Elektra. It all depends on how they handle it and I have little faith.

 

[Red Mask]

I'm surprised Iron Fist hasn't been made yet. They made Elektra, but not Iron Fist? Anyway, Luke Cage and Iron Fist should be separate so they could work on their origins and characters separately.

 

[Roughneck]

Heres what you do.

Make a Cage movie. Have his origin in Brief and set up the fact that he is an already established hero with an unrevealed past. Have him fight his fight and celan up the streets or whatever.

Make and Iron Fist Film. Show his origin then jump forward ten years or so and have him fight his solo fight and defen K'hun L'hun or whatever. At the end ther phone rings and it is Cage.

Make a Heroes For Hire film in which Iron Fist and Luke Cage team up. Establish the fact that they are old buddies who have formed an agency to make money (Heroes for Hire) Their first case is something that has ties to their past. Do the movie in a dual time format both in the present and in the past.

This way we can see Cage in his Yellow shirt.

PLEASE!!! Keep this joke of an actor AWAY!! from Luke Cage!!

I say they should go with Michael Jai White all the way!!!

 

[Guardsman01]

I think Mekhi Phifer should play Luke Cage

 

[Lobo]

Hey he's not my choice, but he was rumored to be a lock a while back, and I haven't heard anything to contradict it so you might have to deal with Tyrese as Cage. I want LL to be Cage. I could deal with tyrese in the part though.

 

[swifty]

LL is equally bad, so keep him away also, I don't want to see him lick his lips every 5 seconds!!!

 

[swifty]

I don't think Luc Cage is a profitable character, not many people are familiar with it and if they do decide to go with likes of Tyrese or LL then it will be a guranteed flop

 

[Red Mask]

It depends on how it's made and how you market it.

 

[Lobo]

99% of the people that saw Blade didn't know he was a comic character and it turned out quite profitable. I like LL for his size, and his name has a mass appeal which would help to sell more tickets and help prevent it from flopping. I just think he'd be great in the role, but that is my opinion. I wish Michael jai White would do Spawn 2. Sigleton is direcitng and Tyrese is the rumor. You don't like LL for the role, that's cool, to each his own.

sidenote

is it just me or does Maleev's Cage look like Tyrese?

This is pretty much what I had in mind. If you do two origin movies first you get all that crap out of the way. If they do them well it would be a nice set-up for a Heroes For Hire movie. And that could be a big movie.

 

[Chris Wallace]

hey so was blade when he first came out.

Maybe you're right. And maybe the right filmmaker could make him worthwhile, 'cause I haven't seen it in any comic he's appeared in. Hell, Blade stopped talking like a street thug YEARS ago, but Cage is still too ghetto for my liking. And while the RIGHT filmmaker could turn the character around, John Singleton is not that filmmaker.

 

[Chris Wallace]

ideas on Cuba Gooding Jr as Cage? He and Singleton have a good history.

I have an idea; it'd suck.
