Luke Cage casting call (merged)

[ghost113]

Wow, even Luke cage wants Gibson to play Luke Cage.

 

[tamron]

I'm not suggesting him for the role, as he's not an actor, but bodybuilder Darrem Charles looks exactly as I imagine a real life Luke Cage.

 

[terry78]

I still would've gone with Henry Simmons.

Yeah, but I bet he's like 5'2" or 5'8" at most in height.

 

[tamron]

Without question Henry Simmons is the best viable candidate for Luke Cage. Tyrese is a joke.

And yes, Charles is only 5'8".

 

[terry78]

If Bokeem Woodbine was a little younger and didn't have that gap, I'd go with him.

 

[deemar325]

^ Nah! he to corny.

Here it comes... The one you didn't think of and probably don't want to think of... WILL SMITH.

... but think about it... he can be buff (as seen in Ali and I, Robot), He looks good in a knit cap and sunglasses (as seen in I, Robot and the Men in Black films), and he can be a bad ass (as seen in the Bad Boys films), and, of course, he can be funny (as seen in almost every one of his films).

Its pretty much been decided that Tyrese will be Luke Cage, but yes I would have sooner seen Will Smith or Henry Simmons as Cage.

Unfortunately, you're probably right. Tyrese, at least to me, seems to small and not very intimidating. Let's face it, he's far too much of a pretty boy *****... plus he annoys the SHlT outta me.

 

[TobeyBEATShaydn]

Props to Philly, by the way... best city in the world.

That's like saying Tom Hanks would make a great Conan.

Sony is going to totally lose these rights this year if they don't start principal photography. Yeah for Marvel! That would bring Iron Fist & Luke Cage under the same studio.

...no LGF does not have Iron Fist rights.

hmm.. power man & iron fist.. neat..


for iron fist, there should be another actor besides Ray Park who can do it..

 

[Advanced Dark]

^ Jude Law for Iron Fist!

I think that we'd have a better chance of seeing a "Cake Girl" Spider-Man spinoff movie than that ever happening. A Heroes for Hire movie would make too much sense.

Back on the subject of Luke Cage, does anybody know if Singleton is still planning on using Terrence Howard as Diamondback?

 

[tamron]

Singleton still wants him, the question is, with the monster '05 he had, culminating in an Oscar nomination, will Howard, like Jamie Foxx before him, move on?

It cant be any lower than being in a Mary J Blige video.

 

[terry78]

Will Smith. And a Luke Cage theme song to boot.

"Luke Cage, Hero for Hire, I'm on fire
Helping the cause, nary a pause"

*cue choreographed dance number*

Still having those "Wild Wild West" flashbacks, terry?

I'm not saying Luke Cage is beneath Foxx or Howard, I'm just saying when you get nominated for an Oscar, win or lose, your profile goes up. Howard, like Foxx did after winning the Oscar for Ray, may get a chance to work on some great projects that he just can't pass up. Looking at Howard's IMDB page, he's currently attached to no less than 5 projects, including one playing Thurgood Marshall. But since Howard and Singlteon seem to be pretty cool, chances are at least 50/50.

Did we miss posting a pile of Luke Cage casting announcements?

I was over at IMDb and the movie's cast looks to be shaping up...or is this another case where all the announcements are just crappy figments of somebody's imagination and IMDb is too lazy to actually verify their truth?

 

[Darthphere]

Aww what the hell, they made Jessica Jones black?
