The Defenders
Yesterday ’s Marvel Phase Three proclamation case alter both Marvel Cinematic Universe and the world-wide earth of pic blockbusters in a gravid style , giving fans long - awaited raw characters being brought to the screen ( Inhumans , Black Panther , Doctor StrangeandCaptain Marvel ) , a few big sequels ( Captain America : Civil War , Thor : RagnarokandGuardians of the Galaxy2 ) , and a mega - movie upshot inAvengers : Infinity War - Parts 1 & 2 .
With so much revealed so tight , the fanbase ( include our own perennially typing fingers ) have been going ball trying to unpack and speculate about what the future of the MCU is going to be - even before we get to already schedule Marvel events in 2015 , likeAvengers : Age of Ultron , Ant - Man , and new TV seriesAgent Carteror the NetflixDaredevilseries .
In add-on to all these Modern project , there of course needs to be new casting to help fill them out . Yesterday ’s announcement event came with the news that histrion Chadwick Boseman would be read on the role ofPrince T’Challa in the upcomingBlack Panthermovie , but there ’s certainly going to be more regorge news come , as Doc Strange , Captain Marvel , an entire Inhumans clan and the balance ofMarvel Netflix ’s Defenders team(Luke Cage , Iron Fist , Jessica Jones ) all need actor to represent them .
One histrion / musician / entertainer who has yet to really dunk into the amusing Word moving picture genre is LL Cool J - but could that be changing ? Check out the tweet LL ( aka the " GOAT " or " Greatest of all time " ) place out , which has Marvel fans in a buzz :
I ’m so quick for this role in Marvel movie . — GOAT . ( @llcoolj)October 29 , 2014
This sort of prickteaser marketing is not a new affair : Vin Diesel famouslyteased his Marvel moving picture connectionson social media long before he ever signed on the dotted short letter ( we stillexpect him to playInhumansleader Black Bolt ) , and Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson was postingShazamreferences on the Interwebs for twelvemonth before finally being confirmed as the villain of that DC superhero movie . societal media is a driving force , and star who are savvy can definitely use it to their reward when it comes to gaining attention for potential casting .
The inquiry is , as always , where the assembly line is between studio - orchestrated promotion and a whizz personal wish being expressed in hopes of do something happen . If one read the actual tweet from LL Cool J , it ’s really hard to determine which side of the line this berth falls on . Talks could already be happening , and this is just a tormenter of an announcement ; or LL is plainly react to the massive Marvel ballyhoo currently zoom , and is throwing in his tender to unite perhaps THE biggest Juggernaut in the TV / Film industriousness right now .
If LL is already working with Marvel , the range of opening for casting are hard to predict . The obvious and immediate cerebration is that the actor has the personal appeal , street cred , and ( let ’s face it ) body type to play someone like Power Man / Luke Cage ; but he ’s also 46 , gain it hard to see him leading a major Netflix serial about the part .
Granted , actors Robert Downey Jr. and Mark Ruffalo are older than that - and even new increase Chadwick Boseman is 37 - so it ’s not impossible to have LL ( who hardly look like his chassis is miss at his age ) play Cage . However , a gut feeling says that based on his wording - " So ready for this office in [ a ] Marvel movie " - LL was probably doing more wishful thinking / announcement than anything .
Luke Cage - CLICK FOR FULL SIZE
In the case of Vin Diesel ( who once teased himself bring The Vision ) , it seems as though desirous mentation ( and monolithic whizz mogul , thanks toFast & Furious ) go to a deal . A similar thing happened when it issue forth to Johnson being cast as Black Adam . So even if LL Cool J is just spoil steam - it ’s steam that could in fact lead somewhere .
