Michael B Jordan IS Erik Killmonger!

[halo10]

I'd want Jordan to have the African accent, just as Bosman does
as T' Challa/Black Panther does.

and I actually thought they would want a bigger, more thicker, muscular, brute- looking giant to portray the role of Killmonger.
Jordan basically seems too handsome to be a rugged, ruthless looking villain. I wonder if he can convincingly pull it off.

Have you seen Creed?

Jordan can get big and perhaps even bigger for the this role if necessary. Even at comic con he was looking like he's gaining mass.

I think it still works when you have Boseman and Jordan with similar body types going up against each other. These characters are intellectuals and powerful with superhuman skillsets where the focus is going to draw strongly from character emotions and political ideologies. Their altercations are going to be explosively brutal.

Huh, stupid question, but is Killmonger superhuman in the comics? And if so, how did he get so? I mean, given that in the movie, T'challa is clearly superhuman, it follows that Killmonger most likely will as well. I'm just wondering about the mechanics.

 

[Chesterfield]

Killmonger consumed a synthetic version of the hear shaped herb that gives him his super powers.

I'd be interested to hear who is going to get the role as Klaw. As well as how Klaw will look in the Black Panther movie.

Uh, we already have Klaw in the MCU dude... Andy Serkis?

 

[Dark Raven]

Even a couple of years later, when audiences sit down to watch Black Panther in the theatres, FFINO will come on instead, because

Andy Serkis was introduced as Klaw in Avengers: Age Of Ultron.

I'm not worried either way, because Killmonger is one of those guys like Kingpin where his proportions are cartoonishly exaggerated to begin with. As long as he can carry the menace and gravitas (like D'Onofrio as the Kingpin) I can live with him not being as huge.

 

[Chesterfield]

Well just as I said and could see from how he looked at comic con, I found an interview Jordan gave at comic con where he talks about his training and that he's going to be bigger than he was in Creed.

[MbJ]

His training seems to have been paying off.

 

[Chesterfield]

Dude is freakin' cut AF. Were Evans and Hemsworth ever this cut?

 

[Dark Raven]

How come all former Human Torches seem to get extremely pumped to superhuman physicality afterwards?

Also, what are the chances that Captain America could guest star in this movie in a small role? After all, he was seen at the end of Civil War hiding out. It would be cool if he took on Killmonger. Two ex Torches fighting it out.

 

[Chesterfield]

Cap isn't going to take out the main antagonist in this movie. That's Panther's job.

 

[Leo Zelinsky]

The Winter Solider will have BP's back.

 

[Dark Raven]

Is Sebastian Stan even in this movie? Will he get a cameo, at least just lying there in stasis, even he has no actual lines?

No Infos about that

No thanks.

I say why not he's in Wakanda why not help out BP has a couple tough guys he has to fight plus a upgraded Serkis possibly. Nothing wrong with a little back up.

Bringing him back in some way in BP means not having to show it in Infinity War. Screen Time is precious in IW

He's in cold storage. Save that for Infinity War.

Just some Tuesday fan speculation no harm no foul

 

[Inhuman117]

do anybody think he get a costume like in the comics

 

[RockSP]

If he gets a costume it will be an adaptation like all comic book movie costumes. Running around shirtless in red spandex pants definitely won't cut it.

 

[Dark Raven]

I hope they don't make too much of his name "Killmonger" as if asking what kind of a villain name that is, like they did with "Killgrave" in Jessica Jones. There they didn't even allow him to have that as his real name, as if they thought it would sound too unrealistic.

But what about all the Irish people whose surnames start off with "kill" like "Killarny", "Killgore", "Killian", etc?

Why does a Wakandan have an Irish-sounding surname anyway? Erik doesn't sound too African either. Is it like Luke Charles for T'Challa?

His Wakandan name is N'Jadaka. He took on the name Erik Killmonger after he and his family were exiled.

There's gonna be a joke. It's too obvious to pass up.

You realize it's an alias and not his real name right?
