Lol so the article mentions they don't know who Jordan would play.. That it could be a villain.. ROFL I mean what happened with Craptastic Four? Wasn't that "movie" from just last year? I thought there were talks about a sequel?

Is he going to be playing two characters in Marvel? It'd be funny if him and Chris Evans would do a scene together down the line and make a joke about it.

I like Michael B. Jordan, but he's no human torch IMO.. In fact, the rest of the fantastic four didn't capture their respective roles IMO

The actors were fine with the crap they were given. The script was a piece of shit.

the thing is a lot of great black actors have already been cast in the Marvel movies :/

Perfect time to give new actors and actresses an opportunity then. What better way to push them than by giving them a role in MCU?

Let's hope it does a lot better outside the US than Empire then. That show cratered.

Emperor_EL · May 13, 2016

Maybe they'll race swap White Wolf. My other unlikely picks are Night Thrasher or Josiah X.

RastaMentality · May 13, 2016

The one thing we got from the BP pushback is that it's gonna be released in Black History month now. Better be black excellence flames everywhere.

It still actually is if you consider the fact that it took 13 or 14 films for a film starring a non white man, and even BP got pushed back right when Marvel got Spider-man back.

But then we should praise Diversity whereever it goes, its fucking awesome that Black Panther is going to bre hot fire, the fact that Thor is being directed by a Maori Man with a Black love interest, or the fact that Aquaman is being played by a Samoan and directed by an Asian Man.

While it is our job to put companies on notice, we should turn this company has more diversity then this one is fucking 2016.

I love the mental gymnastics DC-GAF does to diminish the MCU success. Everyone else is just happy Black Panther was done so perfectly in CW.

He's not wasted at all. It's just that the Thor movies focus on Thor

Everyone does. Hell, I probably need to start from the beginning again.

They broke that with Civil War. I remember seeing 5 black characters, 5!! Just wait till people get a good look at Wakanda proper.

Thor is wasted in his own movies. Everybody's in for Loki anyway and Marvel knows that.

I don't care what anybody says, Tony Stark getting hit with that Black Motherhood is what really started the Civil War

See now your trying to twist my words, I didn't comment on the success of the MCU, Marvel has been goddamn successful becuase they put out a quality product. Civil War is way better than Batman v Superman, and boseman killed it as T'challa.

However I wasn't arguing about the success of the MCU but how they fucking deserve criticism for taking nine years and 16-17 movies to have something with a Poc as nothing other than the side characters.

It's also fucking insulting to say haha DC thinks they're more diverse like that's a bad fucking aim., especially when the next movie is suicide Squad which has an incredibly diverse cast.

Wow-This movie is really going to be amazing. It's too far away. Can't they please just film 3 Black Panther movies back to back?

I'm not feeling Namor like some of you are, you need a special brand of douchebaggery to play that guy and I don't feel that from Jordan.

KodaRuss · May 13, 2016

Wow, awesome news. I liked Black Panther a lot more than I thought I would in CW. He was really badass, really looking forward to this movie.

Marvel will start a legacy of saving Human Torch's from Fox.

People will play him, in hopes of being picked up by Marvel. xD

How the fuck could he play Namor
Isn't that locked up in rights hell

I thought the rights were similar to the HULK. You can't make a Namor movie, but you can bring him out in other movies?

for real, like ewwww. Jordan ain't old enough to pull off Namor. Even Black Namor had grown ass kids

With this director, cast, and that it's Black Panther, I'll not expect anything short of terrific.

Triggerhappytel · May 13, 2016

Who could he be playing? Does BP have any side character heroes, like the Robin to his Batman for example? Big fan Michael B. Jordan and I'd like to see him as a proper hero in the MCU.

shintoki · May 13, 2016

Has any Marvel movie had this stacked of a cast for the first go?
