Luke Cage casting call (merged)

[terry78]

You can't just throw every random black actor you know into the pot. You wouldn't do that with Captain America or Iron Man. He has to look similar to the character, have the ability to act, and also have the build.

 

[Max J Power]

I thought Singleton wanted Ving Rhames to play him?

That would be good.

 

[tamron]

Ving is too old. Cage should be younger, Rhames is clearly an OG.

 

[Venom.Symbiote]

Why not Booker T? Now can you dig that SUCKAAAAAAAAA!







I'm kidding of course.

... LL played a death-row inmate in the season premiere of "House" this year.. perhaps he's campaigning on the sly.. though he should laser off those tattoos of his..

what I'm vaguely worried about is Avi Arad's intention to have the film be rated R.. I think it should be PG-13..

I doubt this has been suggested, but i WANT and DEMAND to see Malik Yoba as Luke Cage. MALIK EFFING YOBA!

I would have been ok with him in 1994, have you seen the guy lately? He's way out of shape.

 

[King Ruler]

Actually, no. No I haven't. Well, he can fix that. I mean, Tyrese has to add pounds to get the part of Cage, even though he already has the part.

Gibson for CAGE!

 

[Daredevil \DD/]

Gibson for CAGE!

These are some awesome pics of Gibson.He certainly has that tough look that Cage has.I cant wait for him to start getting into great shape for the role,can you imagine how he may look? I heard he'll be benching alot,this film should be good.

Yo thanks man.

I agree to the fullest,its going to be awesome!

 

[Wolverine84]

LL, hands down.

 

[Frico]

LL, hands down.

Tyrese.

 

[tamron]

I'm not knocking Tyrese's look. He looks enough like Cage. The guy cannot act. It's one thing to look like the character, it's a wohle 'nother thing to actually act it out on screen. Those stills can't prove he can hold down the role. Only his performance can.

 

[ghost113]

Gibson for Cage, go rent FOUR BROTHERS and you will see that he can act.

 

[ghost113]

Even John singleton who is directing the film is thinking of casting Gibson as cage.

 

[deemar325]

I vote Gibson. He got that thing about him that works for Cage.

 

[Frico]

^ Exactly, plus he's already working really hard for this role.



Off topic, why did you get probation deemar?

 

[Hypestyle]

... but is Columbia/Sony studios still committed to the project? Have the rights to develop a movie reverted back to Marvel-- and thus likely to be brought under the self-financing/Paramount-distributed deal?

 

[Frico]

Wikipedia says Marvel.

 

[MangleBoP]

I didn't read this whole thread, but how about the new guy on WWE Friday night Smack Down!, Bobby Lashley? He's got the look, the physique, and so far, pretty good mic skills.(The whole "trash talk" thing wrestlers do requires more acting skills than some movies I've seen!)

 

[ghost113]

Post apic or something we don't all watch wrestling you know.

 

[Frico]

Here he is.

 

[ghost113]

Hell no too big for Luke Cage, Luke cage. You have to remember even though he is a superhero, he is still a normal guy who is built.

Hey, I'm not the one who suggested him. You asked for a pic so I gave it.

I'm totally backing up Gibson on this role. "Baby Boy" was on last night as a matter of fact, which was directed by Singleton. It was a pretty good film, he tried his best at this performance. So I have my faith of course.

You have to remember though, Cage was a regular man when he was in prison. It was after that when he went into the scientic experiment in that prison, is then that he gained his super human strength which the experiment granted if it was a success. And then began his new life.

Thats why its important that they show how he went from where he was then, to how he became what he is today.
