When we found out that Marvel would be working on producing TV series, everyone got excited. Especially on this site it was unanimous that a Heroes For Hire show needs to be done. I absolutely agree but Jeph Loeb seems to think that rebooting the Hulk and Jessica Jones is the most profitable option. Well he's right!..
Unless he has my cast! I hand picked a team of stars that I think are the best people to fill these parts. The show I would watch, would be centered around Daniel Rand who returns to New York to find his best friend Luke Cage and his Hero for Hire business drowning in debt. Danny decides to buy out his friends business to save it from bankruptcy. Cage clearly didn't want saving but Danny being the business man he is knows he had no other choice...
As a writer there's so much drama to juice from a conflict like that. This is Luke Cage's company that he built from scratch and his best friends comes back to town and decides to make himself boss! Now add in the Daughters of the Dragon and Black Cat and you have a show that would captivate millions of viewers.
This is the perfect cast! See for yourself...
MAIN CAST:
First Off is Ryan Philippe as Danny Rand. I needed an A'ish list actor for the lead role to attract viewers... Ryan doesn't do movies that often so I figured he's perfect for the role. He knows how to fight and is a great actor all around.
Henry Simmons is my pick to play Luke Cage. He's best known for his time on "Shark". He's been bouncing around making one time appearances since. There's quite a few candidates for this role but I wanted someone younger than Terry Crews and better at acting than Tyrese Gibson!
Every hero needs a love interest and Iron Fist has Misty Knight. I picked Meagan Good for this role like I always do. She's hasn't done TV in a while she does movies every now and then. She was in Saw V and I happen to think no other actress fits this role more than she does.
Devon Aoki as Coleen Wing is an obvious choice. She looks exactly like the character does in the comics not to mention she was in Sin City! I she's already familiar with katana and other swords. She's just right for the part!
Black Cat completes my roster for the main cast. Sure she doesn't join the team until a lot later but that's minor details. Rosters for superhero show are whatever the creators decides. Elisha Cuthbert would be an amazing Black Cat. She has the acting skills and she definitely has the body. Check out "The Girl Next Door" if you don't believe me!
GUEST APPEARANCES:
NOW THAT'S THE GOOD GUYS... BUT WHO DO YOU THINK THEY SHOULD GO UP AGAINST?
