Does Chiwetel Ejiofor Have Any Interest In Playing A Superhero?

Great actor but not my choice for Black Panther.... They really need to cast an unknown actor for Africa instead trying to cast every great black actor there is... Next up Michael B. Jordan rumoured to play Luke Cage

You better not have ANY aspirations of acting in a comicbook movie. 99.9% of all comic heros created are White, so if you don't lobby for the 1% of Black characters available you're SOL! The comicbook community feels that race is the biggest part of a character eventhough the only thing that indicates his race is the artists depiction of him. Which supersedes the ideals, motivations, powers, conflicts, and characteristics in the minds of your average comicbook fan. Characters who are defined by their race and place of origin like Omega Red, understandably Black characters aren't considered, however any character who is drawn as White, and not necessarily defined as being White, you're still not welcome to play those parts, because the way they were drawn is not Black. Black comicbook fans around the world never had any problems seeing themselves in White hero's like Superman, Batman, Wolverine, Spiderman, etc. Unfortunately, many of their White counterparts are turned off by the notion of attempting to see themselves in Black Comic hero's, that's why they don't sell. So you're stuck in the 1% world of Black Hero's that rooted in them Being Black, not necessarily heroic.

Chiwtel is my pick to play T'Challa based purely on his performance as The Operative in Serenity. He was a chilling and physical badass who played the roll with an outer grace and an inner fire. He is a TREMENDOUS actor and I have a very hard time thinking of someone better.

I wouldn't worry about this Black Panther secretly been in pre-production and has been for ages.

Aldis Hodge and Chiwetel Ejiofor would make a greak T'Challa and T'Chaka

He would be the perfect Black Panther. People tend to forget that he was in Amastad and had a pretty good African accent as well as being fluent in speaking one of the languages. He has the look that T'Chala had without the costume but he would put on about 10lbs of muscle. He also has the ability to sell the movie based off his name alone vs some unknown that has to rely on A list support characters to carry the movie. And people also tend to forget that he is still in his 30'. Should a BP movie be made, it likely wont come out for a minimum of 5 years.The other actors that people want to play the role except Chad Boseman are all in their 40's and 50's.

@RockNRollFrankenstein

I don't think this is sinister? lol :/

@TheBlackNerd, I agree with Chiwetel for T'Chaka but I like Gbenga Akinnagbe also for T'Challa... Black Panthers should at most be in his early 30s to start...

you all flock to these articles like flies round shit.......no wonder piss takers follow suit

john stewart. chadwick bosman can be black panther.

"Should be involved in Black Panther but not the titular character."

This, he doesn't look threatening at all, wouldn't be able to buy this guy in the role, couldn't in Four Brothers where he tried to come across as intimidating. I can see him as a laid back character(Serenity), scientist, or corporate businessman but not as an aggressive ninja type character i'm afraid. Would make a good Baxter Stockman though.

He's probably thinking "I'll wait to see if I win an Oscar for this slave movie, then I'll answer you more definitively."

Since Fox is making a Blacktastic Four movie, he can play Reed Richards.

i don't follow politics and no im not mad that obama is president..im not mad SLJ is Fury
Im not mad at all i find it funny though that all you desperados are so quick to associate every black actor in imdb to either black panther or Luke cage
