Who would you cast to be Luke Cage in a movie?

[drdonaldblake]

I think Marvel Studios could potentially make a great movie with this character.

 

who would you cast as Luke Cage?

 

 

Denzel Washington?

 

 

Samuel L Jackson?

 

Carl Weathers?

 

Terry crewes?

 

thoughts?

[Dr. Balls]

Carl Weathers FTW.

 

The Rock's on-screen attitude/persona wins me over, but I don't think he'd have the right look.

[Gsims718]

Tom Hardy.

[drdonaldblake]

THe Rock

 

no way I'd pick him

 

he's a actor

 

great steroid gained physique but actor

[jools&jim]

 

Black Dynamite, sucka!

 

 

 

[Davenport]

Scarlett Johansson.

[Old Fashion PB and J]

Tom Hardy.

I was going to say this!!!

[Dr. Balls]

Michael Jai White is also a good candidate. Can someone tell me how we have these Hunger Games krapfests and no sequel to Black Dynamite yet?

[Gsims718]

Tom Hardy.

I was going to say this!!!

Will Smith gets first dibs in any Hollywood movie. Second dibs is his son.

[Aweandlorder]

Michael Clarke Duncan wouldve been so perfect for this

[JazzMan]

Remember that this is a movie version so it doesn't have to follow the comics, so the actor does not need to be black.

[Logan510]

Black Dynamite, sucka!

 

 

 

I was going to say Michael Jai White as well. In his prime Carl Weathers would be an excellent choice IMHO.

Michael Clarke Duncan wouldve been so perfect for this

he didn't have the face for it, and the voice isn't what I'd picture either.

 

Honestly is like more of an unknown cast in the roll.

That would be a PR nightmare.

I'm not sure there's anyone FAMOUS in Hollywood who currently has the potential for the right 'look'. They have to be the right height, the right build, the right age, and for lack of a better term, the right 'color'. I would like a younger, taller Carl Weathers (does he have any sons)?

 

I think the closest right now might be Michael Jai White, in terms of the physicality and maybe even the look, but I think he doesn't have quite enough mass and height.

 

I'm not sure if they've cast the show yet, but I think it'll have to be someone we don't know yet, and they will have to be as big as a football player (defensive lineman) size. Probably similar to the Rock in size.

[mysterio]

Rampage Jackson?

 

[Buzzetta]

Dwayne Johnson

This isn't a FOX movie is it?

Do I smell a double standard?
