Sequels Offical Bishop Casting thread

[RaisingStorm]

sick, wow, even after his fantastic portrayle of Marcellus Wallace you can only see him as the thug in that ****ty movie aye?

I was just messing about the baby boy thing...good lawwdd!!!!
he is a great actor, but I just dont see much Bishop in him, is just like Halle Berry...Hey! she is an Oscar Winner and an excelent acress, did she do a good job as sortm... I think she did what she could, does she really portray Storm to most fans?....Hardly, it takes more than acting skills to portray a comic character, I would give him Green Lantern if they were to make a Justice League movie, but for bishop, I dont quite feel him. But he is a great actor thou.

Taye diggs as bishop? eh? he's a good actor and physical, seen him in equilbrium?

but so far i really like the guy from antwone fisher and the guy from stargate atlantis, the Hawian guy

 

[RagingTempest]

Shemar Moore
Ving Rhames
Richard T. Jones

 

[Matt.S99]

haha... jason momoa? hawaii represent! but he is much too young and... not african american. he's hawaiian/caucasian.

he also looks to light skinned to be bishop

 

[ObakeTora]

You mean Ving Rhames??? he looks too thuged out for bishop, and for some reason I can get him out of his role in Baby Boy, is like everytime I see him in whatever movie, every single phrase or sentence out of his mouth in my mind I hear him always ending them with "baby"

"Ethan, we're with you".....baby"

Hell no! Dont pretty boy, house ni66a up my favorite x character. Ving Rhames is perfect for Bishop, you should stop watching those cliched out hackneyed gangsta movies and see his performance in the movie Rosewood.

He is too short, he is like 5'6 and too Clean Cut Cutsie looking

I was just Joking man!!! I love Ving. It was just a funny joke my roomate was doing, I think he would make a hell of a job playing as Bishop as the great actor he is, Like I said, is Just like Halle, she is an oscar winner, that doesnt mean she portrays Storm like Angela Basset or Nona Gaye could have, and thats my thing with Ving, I dont see much Bishop in him, I guess it be aiight if they do Bald Bishop, I dunno how Ving would look with them dreads. And if I have to pick between Ving and Shemar or any of those light skined pissy looking dudes they been posting, of course I would go with Ving, Bishop does not need to sacrifice his skintone just to be more "appealing", My only issue if they put Bishop in a movie, I am afraid they gona make him like Storm in the first two movies...hella wack, or even worst, like colosus, that seems like he had nothing to say. Anyhow, I know there is somebody else out there perfect to be Bishop weather is Ving or not, but I would be willing to give Ving a Chance...Baby! (J/K again)

BTW...how you know I am a Pretty boy....LOL j/k

I don't want to see Bishop in dreads thats so overdone!!! You should make him into a pimp like Whilce Portacio had intended. BRING BACK THE LONG STRAIGHT HAIR!!!!!!!!!

the black dude in "Jesus is Magic" would be good.

Bishop isnt african american either.
he is native australian, otherwise known as aboriginal. and australapoid is as different a race as negroid is to caucasoid.
actually, the guy from Stargate is closer to being the correecxt race, as polynesian is believed to be the result of breeding between mongoloid(chinese, japanese, taiwanese...what we used to call oriental) and australapoid races

someone like Aaron Pedersen, with a bit of bulking up and a wig,

So you mean to tell us all that stuff about races just to make the point of what???... Just take a closer look at bishop in the comics, he looks African American to me, thats all, I am not saying he is, nobody really knows for sure, but anyways we dont need no little speeches about how a pissy looking dude is better fited to be Bishop, nobody cares, to most of us he Looks African American so based on HOW HE LOOKS and not WHERE HE COMES FROM, we are sugesting African American Actors... but to see my point, more than a narrow mind is needed. Anyways, Bishop's Origins have not yet been revealed or confirmed 100%, there is a lot of theories about his origin, like he having a relationship with Storm and creating a paradox wich will lead into he being his own decendant, there is also said somewhere that he was Born in America but he is filipino ethnicity. nothing has been 100% confirmed yet, so since that has not been confirmed, we will go by what we SEE, which is pretty much a Black Dude.

Does anybody really care about australian aboriginal against african american anyways??? is stuff like that what comes tu ruin good, well intended threads.

i agree with you

and even if i wouldn't be dumb enough to think that FOX would go out of it's way to make Bishop aboriginal, considering they havent lost sleep over storm not being african, or Colossus not being russian, or Rogue being a lousy Southern Belle

Bishop will end up being an African American actor

Im not norrow minded at all. Im just making the point that actors that are of a close ethnic background shouldnt be discounted because they are not of the wrong ethnic background. all smells of "well, they all look the same", which, fyi, australian natives dont.

as for his background not being clear, well, Gateway is his great grandfather, so i doubt its a relationship with storm and bishop that leads to his birth. and thats official, btw. check it on marvel.com.(and yes, Im well aware that he was born in the usa. but his parents were australian. they fled australia according to the official bio.)

Are you done?? cause nobody really cares.

Anyways for your 411 I have read 3 diferent Origins of Bishop and all of them from Official Marvel sources including his creator Whilce Portacio. I am not going to sit here and play the fool when Marvel itself has given 2 diferent "oficial" explantions and after all they have not been confirmed, you can check the Marvel 'Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe' also there is an official series of cards from Marvel that state that he is of American nationality but of Filipino ethnicity, which is very posible since Bishop's creator is himself half Filipino.

I check more than ONE source before I open my Mouth

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bishop_%28comics%29

Again, does he look filipino?? NO
does he look aboriginal?? NO
Does anybody really care?? again NO, please lets stay in topic, is called "BISHOP"S OFFICIAL CASTING THREAD" not "Bishops official ethnic background discusion thread" this is for the movieverse, take it to the comic section if you dont like it. Sugest your favorite and if nobody like him, not your fault, thats all this is about. checking who everybody agrees the most to play him, no who would be politically correct to play him. and if you want to come back at me, PM me, lets leave the thread in topic, like I said, nobody else really cares.

 

[ObakeTora]

That was a dumb idea making gateway his grandfather. Ive studied anthropology and Bishop looks nothing like austroloid.

 

[logansoldcigar]

wikpedia isnt the official marvel bio. any one could get in an amend that. what does it say on marvel.com?

Ill say it again..some one else discounted a choice because "they werent african american"..whatever that is..hell, Charlize Theron is more african american than Bishop
as for if anyone cares, i suggest you go and look at the threads that followed Michael Clarke Duncan's casting in daredevil.

and i think you really oughtta lay off the caffeine. you take yerself wayyyyyy too seriously.

 

[logansoldcigar]

Thats cos bishops a drawing.( I genuinly attribute it to "they all look the same, who will know", which is damn insulting..and all the more reason, IMO, that of Bishop ever does get on the screen, that they should make an effort to find a suitable actor of aboriginal australian background, even if they end up with some one more polynesian in appearance like the guy that was posted earlier in this thread)

I do agree with you though, in as much as i have no doubt that him being aboriginal probably wasnt the idea at the time he was created, its now official,and on his Marvel bio.(the only thing i can think of is that at the beginning he had pretty straight hair, which is a common australoid trait, but not a common negroid one.and Bishop never struck me as the type to have a set of straightening irons in his kit bag.

sorry dude i am a NOOB i dont know how to do pictures on here i have tried but failed and i really can't be bothered!!

 

[RaZaTrOn]

The cop from Charmed? He seems too goody-goody for me but I'd give him a chance.

yeah the cop from Charmed i reckon if he worked out more and grew more hair then he is Bishop baby.
