Don’t mess it up
Can the guy on the left be the guy on the right ? That’s the scuttle butt. This will be s John Singleton Joint. I hope he does better than Shaft.
Having been disappointed with Comic book movies more times than not, I am instinctively skeptical when I here one is coming out. Once in a while there is a good one, like the Spiderman Movies or the first Batman movie. You get all jazzed then you see Daredevil, or Hulk and you are back in the basement again. Haven’t seen FF, Batman Begins, or the last X-men movie yet, but I digress.
To tell you the truth, I haven’t seen much of the work that Tyreese has done. So I can’t account for his acting abilities but as a physical type I don’t think I would have casted him for this role. But I willing to be surprised. After all who could have thought that Will Smith could be Ali, or Jamie Fox could Ray Charles, or Samuel L Jackson could be Shaft … ok he didn’t quite pull that off. But you get my drift.
Anyway this guy says he’s previewed the script. Yea I know but read it anyway its kind of funny

TYRESE as Luke Cage? That warrants a “C’mon Bruh!”. That baldheaded cat doesn’t bleed “indestructable”. *Shakes Head*. Singleton doing superhero? I hope my man does his homework.

I have seen Tyrese in what should be the most physical role possible, Annapolis. He was fine in that.
But it that movie, he was not playing a 6′6″ 425 miniature Hulk.
As if al that weren’t enough, Tyrese says that he has to bulk up for the part, that by then he’ll be benching 400 lbs.
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
How ignorant can anyone be about a character? 400 lbs is not much for anyone to bench. I do that to warm up on the way to doing heavy stuff. I do NOT look like Luke Cage.
The perfect build for Luke Cage is Michael Clarke Duncan in Armageddon or as King Pin in Daredevil.
Luke Cage is so big he makes a person’s jaw drop.
Tyrese is 6′1″.
Okay, so they work it so he’s 4″ talller, as MCD was in the Green Mile, when he was supposed to be 7′+, and he looked it.
He still does not look like Luke Cage.
The right build for Cage is WWE’s Goldberg.
Or get a Ronnie Coleman type and make him look 6′6″.
Luke Cage is my second-favorite super hero, a close 2nd to Captain America/Steve Rogers. Find a copy of CAGE MAX or Black Panther using Cage as a bodyguard or anything in the 90s Cage series of 20 books or Heroes for Hire and tell yourself that Tyrese Gibson can look like that.
Yes, Will Smith bulked up to play Ali.
Ali is not Luke Cage.
