Morris Chesnut On The Chances Of Him Playing BLACK PANTHER For Marvel Studios

Earlier this year, Kick-Ass 2 star Morris Chesnut sent out a Tweet saying he was getting "familiar" with Black Panther. That of course led to speculation that he was in the running for the role, but the actor has now cleared up his possible involvement with the project. Check it out!

Morris Chesnut has often been suggested by fans as a possible candidate to play Black Panther on the big screen, although he added fuel to the fire earlier this year by telling his Twitter followers that he was doing some research on the King of Wakanda. Well, in an interview with iamROGUE to promote Kick-Ass 2, Chesnut had this to say about the possibility of him being the one to bring T'Challa to life. "Obviously I would love to play that part, but Marvel and that studio they’re a mega-machine, and they have the people in mind that they want to do. Maybe If I had gotten to kick ass in Kick-Ass they would consider me, but you never know what’s going to happen. Stranger things have happened in this industry." What do you guys think? While Chesnut is clearly not attached to the role at this point (we don't even know for sure that a Black Panther movie is in development), he's obviously interested. Would he be a good fit for the role?

Aldis Hodge for Black Panther. He’s young, loves the character, open to multi picture deals, athletic, great actor.

Still think that Djimon Hounsou is the obviously perfect choice.

Marvel should've have been snatched up Michael Jai White for Black Panther. But seriously I'd reach out to Chiwetel Ejiofor that dude would kill as T'Challa.

Other good choices would be David Oyelowo from Jack Reacher or if you want to go younger you could do John Boyega from Attack The Block or Chadwick Boseman who played Jackie Robinson in 42.

Chestnut would be good. First choice is still Aldis Hodge. Young enough for themt to build a franchise around, great actor (see the "Grave Danger Job" on Leverage. Long story short his character gets put 6 feet underground in a coffin and his performance almost made me claustrophobic). Plus he has some background in martial arts, and can portray T'Challa's intelligence (just watch one episode of Levergae) Still holding out hope for AH

@McGee: Thank god Chris Evans was able to pull off Captain America. Didn't think he would but he's born to play the character.

Anyways, my pick for Black Panther is Chadwick Boseman. Ever since I saw 42, he's been my pick.
