Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Continues His Campaign To Play LUKE CAGE

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Continues His Campaign To Play LUKE CAGE

As we know, Marvel head honcho Kevin Feige recently stated that he'd love to have Johnson come aboard the MCU. Now the former WWE champ has acknowledged this on Twitter, and of course has a very specific character in mind that he'd like to play..

While this is obviously all very awesome, all you need to do is take a look at the article right below this one to see that (as far as Feige is willing to reveal anyway) Marvel don't seem to have any big-screen plans for Luke Cage over the next few years -- unless of course The Rock knows something we don't! But barring Cage, and assuming that both parties will eventually come together as they clearly would like to, who else in the Marvel Comics universe would be a good fit for Johnson to play? Sound off in the usual place.

Sweet Christmas.

I still toss Michael Jai White's name out there, but The Rock would be more likely to get it.

Not to sound racist, but I want a black guy who actually is black playing Luke Cage, BUT I don't think he has to be black. Unlike Black Panther who MUST be ALL THE WAY black, no exceptions.

I can see Rock in the role, but id go with Crews or Isiah Mustafa (old spice guy) since he lobbied for the role a couple of years ago and even made his own fan made trailer (tho it has since been taken down). Tyrese from Walking Dead also recently said he wants to play Cage as well.

I find it hilarious that there are some that don't want the Rock to play Luke Cage because "he's not black enough" however those same people are ok with Michael B. Jordan playing Johnny Storm.

I don't really think "The Rock" when I look at Like Cage. And I like Terry Crews, but I think Chad Coleman (Tyrese on Walking Dead) has been campaigning for that part too. I'd rather see him in that role; or an outright unknown. Luke Cage is a bit more reserved in his demeanor. The Rock and Crews should play other characters, I just don't which ones.

This could be an awesome buddy-buddy superhero film. The Rock as Luke Cage and Ray Park as Danny Rand being street level heroes in the MCU while the bigger heroes are busy with the world.

Nope! To remain consistent on what I always say. He needs to be played by a black actor. The Rock is a decent enough actor, but nope... I would LOVE to see Terry Crews in this role! The guy has a great range and totally looks the part.

I wasn't aware that Luke Cage's skin color was so important to his character. o.O

Is this "black enough" for you?



I think he'd do a great job.

Well, he is at least half Black(The other half samoan) so i wouldn't mind him as Luke Cage at all.. But i would prefer Terry Crews!
