GOTG's Djimon Hounsou In Talks For Guy Ritchie's KING ARTHUR Movie

Aww sh*t. "Merlin type role."

I would have liked to say Idris but this would still be kickass.

uh..what? Merlin type role? yuck. But I like Hunnam and Law

ah, a new King Arthur movie, look forward to it (how long before they do a Marvel Cinematic Universe on it)

And I hope they give Djimon a better role in this movie than he had in Guardians. As Captain Obvious said above, any old actor could have played Korath...or screw it, they could have just left the pointless Korath out, and give his few reasons to be in the movie, to Nebula

Seriously, not trying to hate on Marvel, but one of their major flaws is giving their black actors terrible roles. Idris Elba (even though I love him in the little he does as Heimdall) is underused in Thor, any goddamn wrestler or stuntman could have played Kurse in Thor 2 and Korath was pointless in Guardians

Seriously, and it had to be 3 wonderful and pretty fantastic actors in Idris, Adewale and Djimon, who should have been kept for superior Marvel roles. they cant even be re-used for other Marvel characters (like Karen Gillan etc), because we clearly saw their faces in their respective roles!

I dont criticise Marvel on much, but this was one of the things I did

@dancingmonkey08

I guess it's just some of the auditions. In the meantime.









And soon.

Djimon missed the widow for the current Black Panther, but he can still be T'Chaka.

A six-part King Arthur with a black guy.

Oh, SUUUUURE.

Yup.

It's Twenty-Fecking-Fourteen.

The world has lost its collective mind.

sorry about missing the obvious...Don Cheadle has done a decent job as Rhodey

I happily await Panther and Cage

No, that's generally not how casting works.

But a Black guy in an Arthur movie is cool (maybe he'll be a Moor?), but why in a "Merlin-type" role? Who's Merlin? This reeks of magical Negro to me, especially because he's replacing Elba. "Oh, we lost Hollywood's main Black guy, let's just go down the list."

I still say that they should have made "Camelot 3000" instead of this.

this project is doomed to fail.
the old bizness methods dont work anymore

the old bizness method was if something made money copy it and flog it until it dies....

Audiences will not go and see this movie .
They will never make six instalments.

Excalibur is definitive.

Camelot 3000 would maybe have worked.

Getting rid of Merlin ,who is a main character is ridiculous.

Andre must so butthurt now that Guardians beat Man of Steel and his sucky Turtles movie.

Hold up. King Arthur was "Mediocre"? Have you seen the director's cut? It's by far the best King Arthur story put to screen, partly because it bases the legend in a historically plausible setting. I don't see how it was mediocre.
