My fan cast for the King of Wakanda

My take on a movie of the king of Wakanda

As we've seen with the recent success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe along with the cartoon, The Avengers: Earth Mightiest Heroes. Talks of a Black Panther movie seem to be closer than any other years. Here is my take on the cast of the Black Panther movie. I know some of the faces may not be originally so, feedback truly appreciated.

The Udaku Family

1. The Black Panther - Chiwetel Ejiofor


I know that lately Chiwetel has been a popular choice among fan cast. But after watching him in Endgame and American Gangster, I feel that this role would be perfect for him.

2. T'Chaka Udaku - Isaach de Bankole

After watching him on The Limits of Control, I feel that the role of T'Chaka.

3. S'Yan Udaku - Djimon Hounsou

Originally I would've cast him as T'Challa, but as since this movie took forever to develop, interest in him as the Black Panther decreased. But I would love him still be involved in the movie.

4. N'Yami - Angela Bassett

Though it would only be a small part, I think that she would be a perfect N'Yami.

5. Shuri Udaku - Naomie Harris

Okay before you guys bite my head off, I think that Tia Dalma would be a good fit for the sister of T'Challa. I see her more as the actress in Miami Vice and Ninja Assassin.

Wakanda

N'Gassi - Joe Morton

I couldn't think of anyone else who would've fit better than Joe. Seeing him in several roles, I knew he'd be perfect as a adviser and role model to the future king of Wakanda

W'Buki - Bambadjan Bamba

As one of T'Challa closet comrades and confidants, Bambadjan quiet confidence shows that he is up to the challenge.

Jiru - David Oyelowo

Though a minor role, David has the skill to act as N'Gassi's assistant and loyal warrior to Wakanda when needed.

Zuri and Mubaru - Michael Clarke Duncan and Kevin Grevioux

Once again minor roles, but as representative within Wakanda, I felt that they both would help T'Challa on the path to a better Wakanda.

Allies to the Black Panther

Brother Voodoo - Harold Perrineau

Once again, this isn't a new fan cast, but re-watching the first season of lost, Romeo and Juliet and the last two Matrix movies, Harold has the potential of making this role his.

White Tiger - Michael Ealy

So this was actually pretty hard for me to cast. I knew reading around Boris Kodjoe was a preferred choice, but I felt that Michael Ealy was a better fit.

Enemies of the Black Panther

Man-Ape - Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje

So for this version, I felt the Ultimate version of M'Baku would progress the story further rather just being another warrior looking to control the kingdom. Though repetitive of Thor, in this sense M'Baku would never accept T'Challa thus creating the rift.

Erik Killmonger - Jamal Duff

Ok go ahead and laugh, I know what you guys are saying. But this guy is freaking huge. Standing at 6'8" he is actually taller than Killmonger by like two inches. Plus given a good writer he could actually be a good villain for a second movie.

Ulysses Klaw - Ed Harris

A History of Violence, need I say more?

Just for the fun of it

Hawkeye - Jeremy Renner

On a peace mission from SHIELD to bury the hatchet

Storm - Marsha Thomason

Even though FOX still own the rights to much of the X-Men, I would love to see her as Ororo rather than Storm. Well hopefully eventually turn into Storm.

So that's my fan cast. A synopsis of the movie(s) should be coming soon. Hope you guys like my casting. And remember, criticisms, comments and recommendations are always welcomed.

@raze. I have no clue to be honest. Just looking for a pic that could best represent Zuri. I would've gone with a picture of him as Kingpin but this pic, unfortunately photoshopped, looked better.

Might want to add a lil' bit of Marvel experience to Perrineau--he voiced Blade in the fourth Marvel Anime.

Great fan cast man, each pick is perfect, so I can't really say anything more except for 1 or 2 picks here and there like Ulysses Klaw, I would go with Vincent Cassel for that role and for Storm I would go with Sanaa Lathan or Zoe Saldana

@Flix true. it might open more roles to him

@RedHood HAH!

@Shadow thanks. I was actually going for an older Klaw since he was also an enemy of T'Chaka.

@AsgardianKnight

why u add storm in this fan cast. if they did a Black Panther movie she wont be in the film. plus Monica Lynne was his first love interest

@jazzman I did it just for the fun of it just because I knew the fact that she wouldn't be involved in any Marvel films because (almost) all the X-Men rights belong to FOX. Like I said it would be for fun. Plus my choice for Monica Lynne would be either Sanaa Lathan or Kerry Washington.
