With talk of Marvel planning on introducing new characters through short films, chances that we see Luke Cage on the big screen are getting stronger by the minute. If this does happen who do you think should be given the chance to portray one of Marvel's greatest Avengers? How many of you actually care?
This article is to address that subject...
The current candidates are:
Tyrese Gibson - 6' 0½" (1.84 m) Transformers Trilogy (2007-2011), Legion (2010), Baby Boy (2001)...
Morris Chestnut - 6' (1.83 m) "V" (2009-2010), Not Easily Broken (2009), Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)...
Michael Jai White - 6' (1.83 m) Mortal Kombat: Rebirth (2010), Blood and Bone (2009), The Dark Knight (2008)...
Henry Simmons - 6' 4" (1.93 m) CSI: Miami (2009), Shark (2006-2008), NYPD Blue (2000-2005)...
Terry Crews - 6' 2½" (1.89 m) The Family Crews (2010), Terminator Salvation (2009), Everybody Hates Chris (2005-2009)
As many of you can see, all these actors are pretty much 30+. Knowing how Marvel loves to sign actors for multiple films, you gotta wonder are these guys gonna be able to keep up by the time Luke Cage get's introduced into an "Avengers" or "Heroes for Hire" movie? The answer is no. We are looking at possibly another ten years from now. That being said, a lot of you are gonna say to Marvel cast someone we don't know, someone younger who can grow with his character. Surprise us! And for those people there's this guy:
Mehcad Brooks - 6' 3" (1.91 m) Just Wright (2010), True Blood (2008-2009), Glory Road (2006)
So now it's time to vote and find out, How much do people care about Luke Cage?
