What if Peter Mensah played Black Panther?

[Dasher10]

Given that Marvel seems to take every other actor who's perfect for the role and cast them elsewhere, Peter Mensah remains solely by his obscurity.

That said, I really liked him on Spartacus and now I really can't see anyone but him in the role.

 

[T"Challa]

Peter Mensah is almost 55, plus he already played a character in The Incredible Hulk.

Lol, I forgot he was in that. My new top choice is Barkhad Abdi.

His scene was cut out, wasn't it?

Nope, he's in there.

way too old as T'Challa. at best i can see him making an appearance of
one of T'Challa's advisors, .. personal combat trainer or his father (T'Chaka)
But then Djimon Hounsou (gladiator, never back down, guardians of the galaxy)
would be my choice over Mensah in those capacities.

wesley snipes had long been my choice as Black Panther but he had
a committment to Blade , and a lot of time has past by, if they want
a younger casting of T'Challa, then i don't have that many candidates as
of right now. If Michael Jordan Jr. wasn't in Fanstatic 4, i wouldn't have minded him for the role,
but i'm hearing Chadwick Boseman ( in jackie robinson's "42") is leading the chase for that role as of this date.

i'm not on board with Morris Chestnut, Derek Luke or Michael Jai White
at this time. If any of those were announced i would have
a very "ho-hum", non-enthusiastic response to that. i wouldn't mind
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as a T'Challa enemy, but not as T'Challa himself.

My vote remains with Chiwitel Ejiofor.
