ENEMIES

Daniel Craig as Ulysses Klaw

Cress Williams as Man-Ape

Erik King as Erik Killmonger

Killmonger


Erik Killmonger is a powerful warrior and strategic genius in politics and economics, who will stop at nothing to have the Kingdom of Wakanda for his own.

I also think that this movie (made by Marvel Studios) would be the perfect chance to introduce some all new characters including...

Omar Epps as Black Goliath

not bad, like most of your picks, but djimon hounsu will always be my number 1 pick for t`challa

woo hoo!
JeffBridges
JeffBridges - 12/6/2009, 7:06 PM
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje would be better for Killmonger, I think.
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 12/6/2009, 7:15 PM
Not bad, but if you don't have Djimon for T'Challa, at least put him as T'Chaka, I just can't see Wasington for the role
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/6/2009, 7:23 PM
jallanr: Thanks, Hounsu was my #1 choice as well and he's an amazing actor but I find it easier to imagine Agbaje in this type of role! He also just looks more like I imagine T'Challa would!

JeffBridges: I actually considered casting him in that role when I was set on Hounsu as Black Panther but I think King would make an even better Killmonger! His intense performance in Dexter showed that he would make a brilliant villain if given the right character IMO!

THEHAWK: Cheers man! I considered Hounsu for the role of T'Chaka but I just imagine that character being a little older and I think Washington would be a little better at portraying the "aged warrior" type interpretation of the character!

Nice Casting but dang, I was working on my own Black Panther fancast! Oh, well, there goes that! :D

But definitely a fine cast Josh@, as usual!

DDD: Thanks bud! :) Please dont let this stop you though! I'd really like to see your version of the cast for a Black Panther movie!

VERY GOOD !! of course! I have no complants what so ever.


Be on the look out for my DANGER GIRL cast, I just posted it! so it should be up in a couple of minutes.

Good cast Josh.

The only one I can legitimately say I disagree with is Storm. I'm not the biggest fan of Newton's, I think there are better fits for the role.

I have my own Black Panther (which will be revealed in my upcoming Avengers cast, wink wink), but yours is pretty good too :)
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/6/2009, 8:02 PM
PETE: Thanks a lot man! :) I'll head straight over to your fan cast and check it out!

TYLER: Thanks mate! I actually agree with you about there being better fits for the role but when I imagine the more regal Queen version of Storm seen in the more recent comic books, Newton is the first actress that pops into my head, lol!

Haha, damn thats quite a tease - I look forward to taking a look at your Avengers cast and Im now especially intrigued by who you might of cast as BP! When are you gonna be putting it up?
InTylerWeTrust
InTylerWeTrust - 12/6/2009, 8:10 PM
Josh: I'm shooting for some time this week, I have to consider what time range I'm putting it up, because my last 2 casts have been buried in only a day.

I'm thinking of putting it up maybe really early in the morning. That might work out. Though I wouldn't be able to promote it on other articles, I'm pretty occupied until about 2:30.
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/6/2009, 8:20 PM
TYLER: As I live in the UK, I find that the quitest time on CBM is when I wake up and the busiest is usually as I'm just about to go to sleep, lol! I just try to post them whenever I can - my Defenders cast got buried pretty quickly but I was lucky that it was quiet when I posted it so it still was seen by a fair few at least! And no worries man, I'll promote it for you if you dont get chance, lol! :)
StephenStrange
StephenStrange - 12/6/2009, 8:23 PM
wow... that's a pretty wicked casting there. Except for the Thandie Newton as Storm thing I like it.

Daniel Craig as Klaw?? lol I don't know about that man. Too much talent for a guy that gets turned into solidified sound. I am pretty sure Klaw should just be CGI with a voice over, ya know? Especially if they are shooting for a look that is anywhere near classic.
SlaughterHouse
SlaughterHouse - 12/6/2009, 8:29 PM
I agree with Tyler, Newton is the only one I don't like. While she might be able to pull of the regalness of Queen Monroe, if it was made by Marvel Studios and she crossed over between Black Panther and X-Men, then she would have to be able to pull off the X-Men version of Storm as well.

JOSH @ Whoaaaa dude you have changed ya BLACK PANTHER dude a big kudos from me man!!!!

Never liked DJIMON for the part ever!!!

ADEWALE IS THE BLACK PANTHER!!! ; D

Like 'em all dude, though theres no info on the actors at all???!!! Do know more than half of 'em though lol, so its cool!

Only one not liking is "RUN FAT BOY RUN/NORBIT" chic, cant see her as STORM at all bud???!

I'd pick ZOE SALAMANDER or whatever her name is for the role, tyhough then again shes in too many comic book roles, so maybe not lol, not done a X-MEN cast, reason why too many lol!

But [frick]ing good show man, im giving you a thumbs up even with the STORM pick. Good stuff dude, quality casting, maybe even ya best one yet!
Upupandaway
Upupandaway - 12/6/2009, 10:58 PM
Great casting! I've always liked Angela Bassett for Storm. Though she's not the youngest actress, she's got a very toned build and is a great actress.
DDD
DDD - 12/6/2009, 11:17 PM
Josh@ it would be utterly redundant to
post my Black panther fanfic 'cause I
have the same pick for BP, AAA! Oh, well!
I'll just go to work on some other idea!
THEHAWK
THEHAWK - 12/6/2009, 11:31 PM
@Josh. Well, I am a big fan of Denzel, but I honestly don' think he can pull off the regal bad ass rquired fofr the role.
CRITIC17
CRITIC17 - 12/7/2009, 4:30 AM
Awesome!!!!!! All the roles are PERFECT!!!! GReat job josh!
JoshWilding
JoshWilding - 12/7/2009, 6:49 AM
DARTH: Thanks bud! I totally agree with you about Klaw - however, if he's going to be the main villain of the movie I can imagine them wanting to get a big name actor for the part and Craig does actuall look pretty similar to the human Klaw and I'd be happy then to see them stick with CGI using his likeness and voice!

SlaughterHouse: Great point - I guess I was just thinking about her as a Black Panther character rather than an X-Men one as well! I do think he could play a decent storm in either movie but I do actually have a younger choice for Storm that I'll be including in a future X-Men cast Im planning! :)

LEE: Thanks a lot man - I appreciate that! :) I was going to put a little bit of info on the actors but it was late and I was too tired, lol! I can guess the ones you might not know though so here's a quick list of what they've been in that I know them from!

Morris Chestnut - V
Lee Thompson Young - Smallville, Scrubs, FlashForward
Eugene Byrd - Bones
Cress Williams - Prison Break
Erik King - Dexter
Omar Epps - House
Robert Wisdom - Prison Break

They've all done a fair bit more than just these shows but IMO they're all excellent actors who are good fits for these characters! Thats the sad thing about TV actors - they give amazing performances in these shows (Young in particular is brilliant in everything I've seen him in) but they mostly seem to end up just being on TV when many of them could carry a movie by themselves with no trouble!

As for Black Panther, I decided to choose a new actor because I think that Hounsu is chosen mainly based on his (excellent) performance in Blood Diamiond - thats actually why I originally picked him for the role! However, when you actually look at the guy he not only doesnt look right for the part (at least IMO) and is just a bit too old! I know that Adewale is only a few years younger but he actually looks considerably younger! I've only seen Newton in W, The Pursuit of Happyness and 2012 but I think she's a decent fit for Storm (mainly the older more regal version) but I think that there's a better actress out there for future X-Men movies!

Upupandaway: Thanks! Im not too familiar with her as an actress but she looks the part to an extent (but may be a bit too old by the time we get another X-Men movie)

DDD: Damn, now I feel guilty! Just leave it a while and post it man! We all have the same choices for a fair few of these characters! (hell, you cant go on a Captain America or Avengers cast without a 70% of seeing either Jensen Ackles or Sam Worthington, lol!) :P

HAWK: I get what you're saying but I can only imagine him in the role for some reason!

CRITIC: Hey, thanks man!! Havent seen you on CBM for a while!

ASSASSIN666
ASSASSIN666 - 12/7/2009, 8:03 AM
Very solid casting, but I don't think Denzel is African enough for this role. Still great choices there.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 12/7/2009, 8:44 AM
ANIL @ How about NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

ADEWALE = PERFECT BLACK PANTHER!!!!

[frick] DIJMON! : D

Actually though, DIJMON would make a certain great X-MAN!!!

JOSH @ Whao dude, didn't mean for you to do a big reply man!! But kudos,, yeah i know the ones from PRISON BREAK (One of my all time fav shows), didn't know the HOUSE and BONES ones, plus now you've said V i know that guy MORRIS cheers!!

They could all carry a movie very well!!!

Great stuff dude, this is one casting i'll never have to do, and the more i think about it, STORMS growing on me too dude, near perfect man i tell ya! ; )

Awesome fan cast! I wish I had looked at it before cutting this fan trailer:

Kevin Grevioux suggested to me that he'd like to play Killmonger. I told him that he'd be a better Man-Ape, though. I hope that they give him a role in the film whenever they make it.

I have the unconventional picks of Tim Russ for T'Chaka and Dennis Haysbert for N'Gassi, as well as Mads Mikkelson for Klaw. Pretty good list, though.
