Has Casting Begun On Marvel’s Luke Cage Movie?
The Los Angeles Times is reporting that casting for Marvel’s proposed Luke Cage movie is underway. Check out an excerpt from the article…
“Speaking of Luke Cage, a.k.a. Power Man, I hear that there’s more talk underway about putting the urban hero into his own film and that a notable Hollywood star is now having (very) preliminary talks with Marvel Studios about the property and its potential.”
As of right now, rumours as to who will play Luke Cage point heavily towards Transformers 1 and 2 and Death Race star Tyrese Gibson taking the role on but, as mentioned; his involvement in the project is pure speculation at this point.
2 Fast 2 Furious director John Singleton has reportedly signed on to oversee the project while Dragonball Evolution scribe Ben Ramsey is thought to be handling scripting duties. Marvel is apparently eyeing a 2011 release.
The plot is expected to see Luke Cage, an innocent man escape from prison after gaining super-powers and become a mercenary.
