who should play black panther in a movie?

who should play black panther in a movie?
I think Morris Chestnut would fit as the Wakandan King.

This project almost happened in the early 90's - Wesley Snipes was attached. Now, he may be a bit past it. What about Taye Diggs?

I bet Spike Lee will pull some s**t to get the directing gig!

That guy who played "Spawn".

I dunno, but it definately shouldn't be Wesley Snipes. I would not be able to stomach that...

Wesley Snipes is a good, heroic actor. But he's been Blade already. You can't have EVERY Black hero played by the same guy. tbh, though, I'm not exactly rife with ideas.... I know few actors and even fewer black ones. =(

That was Michael Jai White.

How about Usher?

How about Chiwetel Ejiofor? I thought he was great in Dirty Pretty Things.

Bet they will come up with a mentor figure who schools T'challa -

Samuel L. Jackson with a big bamboo cane!

Djimon Hounsou. No one else would be able to play him in my eyes. He was in Amistad as a slave, in Gladiator as Maximus's ( Russell Crowe ) companion in the Gladitorial Arena and played Papa Midnite in Constantine. He's PERFECT.

Djimon Hounsou is good, yes.

Sayyy, this is a good idea. Good work. 👆

Anyone but Wesley Snipes, there should be a rule against actors playing more than 1 superhero, so that way they only get 1 chance to screw a character up. I know that rule would have saved everyone some grief if it was implied before catwoman.
