Maybe. It's fundamentally a Rocky film, but it does enough stylistically to stand on its own. Give it a shot.

Ah ok. I understand where your reaction comes from now. It would probably be best to get someone unknown then. Camera trickery to try to fit Chestnut in the role seems excessive. He's not enough of a draw to make that worth it, I think.

I really hope the movie opens with him at the UN just laughing at shit when they ask him for things.
THe movie should have Ross walking into the UN with no pants on saying "I have seen shit that will turn you white"
The Space Jam has consumed you. I will not let it consume me. The living have a real jam going now. Here is your chance. Alright.

just wondering, will every character from Wakanda have accent like Black Phanter?

Please be killmonger
How could anyone possibly know that?
First of all, that's not how acting works. Second of all, how on earth is his character in Fruitville Station the same character as the human torch?

We all work for Disney?
Probably? I don't see why they wouldn't really. Weird question.

Odds on Everett Ross being the viewpoint character?
Please don't do that, it would be the worst possible thing.
I think Everett Ross will be the guy that the council behind the Accords sends to Wakanda to extradite Bucky, and then he gets tangled up in the conflict of the film. Just gotta balance the Martin Freeman with the Everett Ross effectively.
Oh, no. I don't want that either. I'm fine with him being the good antagonist sort of speak.
Kind of like John C. Reily in GotG.
he didnt quit, the president forced him out on the consideration of black people across the country. then gave him a white woman who was constantly keeping tabs on him
Of all the fuckery in comics that shit will be forever in my top 5

Good shit him and Lupita in this too? It has me most excited! I have an inkling that Lupita will be Shuri.

I personally think in terms of the cinematic universe it would be more interesting for Shuri to be Peter's age than closer to BP/the rest of the Marvel heroes.
I like the way you think.

But Lupita would make for a great Shuri.....
Screw age she looks young enough. Plus Black don't crack.

She would, but maybe there's another young black actresses that would make a great one, too. And you know people would flip their shit over a Shuri/Peter romance.
running hard at a wall on this one arent you?

you're wrong as can be unless you think just being a black person is being the same.
his character in the wire was vastly different than his character in friday night lights.
then in chronicle he played a vastly different character yet again...unlike any of his tv roles.
in fruitvale station his character was unique tho this character shared some similarities both with his wire and friday night lights characters. So I will give you that...
but then Creed came along and this character was unique in its own way and different again from his previous roles.
basically you're wrong.
Black Panther has a Vibranium arm made for Bucky when he awakes from being frozen, but Klaw comes in and steals it while shit is going down in the Black Panther movie.
he gotta come back this time prepared and making a deal with a bitter man ape tribe.
Face it Tiger..

I think he's an excellent actor. But he's physically amazing Charismatic as hell. A natural athlete and natural artist. In a superhero movie.

Can Marvel please un-delay this and let Spider-Man rot in irrelevance where he belongs?

And while Klaw uses it in his action setpiece, there's weird shit like mental calibration so Klaw turns the hand on his new arm into a freakin' Vibranium bionic claw that can shoot out and AAAAAAGH
Maybe they shouldn't do this. >_>
You know, it's so weird going back and reading comments from Whedon to the effect of him not thinking of Civil War and Black Panther and other future films while making AoU because, like, guy, it seems like you were thinking about em. >_>
I'm wondering how they could use Klaw... Not the prologue action scene throw-away baddie, right? I mean, if anything it could be like Batroc where they take them down but they still have some presence later on in the film (as limited as it was for Batroc), or he's the mastermind behind the baddies in the first half? Hmm...
Too much money involved with Spider-Man.
Also, Sony needs that movie for the summer. That's probably non-negotiable.
Also, February 16th is a fantastic date because it's 2 days before my birthday.
Besides, it's original date was November 2017. It's only a 3-month delay.

Michael B Jordan is nowhere near "talented as fuck" brah. He's just an average actor. If Michael B Jordan is "talented as fuck," then the bar is low for acting around here.
Dude couldn't even wrestle the spotlight from fuckin old ass Sly in Creed. Fruitvale was straight, but whats left? Red Tails? Pastor Brown? Fantastic Four? Episodes of Burn Notice?
At this moment, calling him possibly the next Will Smith is laughable. No hate, I'm just not seeing it. Granted, he's still getting his filmography together.. but yeah.. he definitely has a long way to go.
Yup, really glad to see him doing well.
