It was sort of a close fight i should say. Terry Crews won with 400 votes but not far behind was Michael Jai white with 382 votes. Coming in third place is the main man Idris Elba with 351 votes. I know Terry Crews looks like he just stepped out of a comic book but why exactly do a lot of folks on here want him to play Luke Cage on the big screen?

Sweet Christmas!


Get him if Terry is not available


What the hell! He looks good in a suit.I guess we can go with him

old spice guy
MaddMonkk - 8/16/2011, 10:58 AM
This really needs to be done. Paul Walker as Danny/Iron Fist. We need a action/comedy buddy type movie. How else can he say "Sweet Christmas" in a dark action drama? Go old school like "48 hrs." or "Rush Hour". Not campy just action packed and funny as hell. Give me some support guys!!!!!!
TheSoulEater - 8/16/2011, 10:59 AM
Old Spice guy

seriously
TheSoulEater - 8/16/2011, 10:59 AM
@MaddMonk NO, Keep Paul away from anything marvel!

But have Cameron Gignant as Ironfist sure.
LordHuck - 8/16/2011, 11:00 AM
I see the same tired names marched out over and over again for Luke Cage. We don’t need any of them.

Its not like we are trying to cast a perfect Comic accurate Wolverine here. That would be a hard casting decision.

Southern California is overflowing with Handsome/Rugged, buff black actors over 6 feet tall. Casting Luke Cage will be a cake walk for Marvel.
MaddMonkk - 8/16/2011, 11:02 AM
my girlfriend said Wayne Brady as Luke Cage.I immediately kicked her out.
MaddMonkk - 8/16/2011, 11:05 AM
@Souleater- I thought he would be a good Johnny Blaze but I think I like him as Danny Rand better, good cast call.
selinakyle - 8/16/2011, 11:08 AM
@LordHuck...we wish. They will most likely never go with an unknown. This is hollyweird we are talking about.
braveone - 8/16/2011, 11:11 AM
I don't think terry crews is the perfect man either but out of the three i would've chosen him. Micheal Jae isn't a good actor and you can see that by his movies because they always flunk. Besides he's way too buffed and that's not a good look. Idris, on the other hand, he's definitely the best actor but he simply doesn't look like a luke cage.
Godzillafart - 8/16/2011, 11:17 AM
Looks great, but can he act?
suntansup3rman - 8/16/2011, 11:26 AM
@MaddMonkk I agree that this does and should be made and it should be Rush Hour meets Die Hard.. but as far as Paul I agree with @TheSoulEater Cameron Gignant FTW...
Godzillafart - 8/16/2011, 11:28 AM
They are all good pics...and all a little old.
PaulRom - 8/16/2011, 11:32 AM
Idris Elba's a badass, but I don't want him as Luke Cage (especially since Cage would be in the MCU, which Elba is already a part of). Get Terry Crews or the Spice Guy, save Jai White for Blade.
selinakyle - 8/16/2011, 11:37 AM
Really...Jai white for blade? For Spawn? He was spawn 20 or so years ago! And the guy is not exactly the best actor.
DDD - 8/16/2011, 11:38 AM
The actor needs to be at least 6'3"
(LUKE is listed at MARVEL as 6'6".)

He also should be a little younger than
this list. MJW is only 6' tall, too
short. He'd be better as the new BLADE.

And hell no to the yellow shirt and tiara!
Come on...in this day & age? "Geez!"

It should be LUKE & DANNY along with COLLEEN
& MISTY in a HEROES FOR HIRE movie.
Mareado - 8/16/2011, 11:40 AM
@MaddMonkk

I rather cast Wayne Brady as Malcolm X before casting him as Luke Cage.
DDD - 8/16/2011, 11:41 AM
Well, Idris isn't too old but he
doesn't have LUKE'S physique.

The OLD SPICE guy is a terrible actor
(He was awful on CHUCK!). He's 6'3"
but just all wrong for LUKE.
Mareado - 8/16/2011, 11:45 AM
As far as physique, that can be worked on. But yes you're right DDD, Mustafa would be terrible.
jazzman - 8/16/2011, 11:46 AM
what about Chad Coleman aka Cutty from the Wire as Luke Cage
imnotwearinghockeypants - 8/16/2011, 11:48 AM
@jazzman, good call.
naterator - 8/16/2011, 12:04 PM
@grif...hehehe....yeah he should be a white guy....lol kidding.
tripttwe - 8/16/2011, 12:06 PM
He won because Alex Ross used his face in one of his covers. I don't remember which one, but the image sticks out in my mind. My 2 cents...
plasticman - 8/16/2011, 12:30 PM
From my standpoint Terry Crews fits the bill with his background, looks, and age. I've always viewed Luke Cage in the comics as being a little older, wiser, and expereinced having lived in the environment that he has.

Answer me this, Selina or anyone else, is Idris Elba the guy that was on The Office and in The Losers? That guy is my second favorite choice.
IsaiahBradley - 8/16/2011, 12:31 PM
Michael Jai White or Henry Simmons....
JoshJones - 8/16/2011, 12:33 PM
C'mon. Crews is cool, but too damn old at this point. +He's not the best looking guy around. Cage should be somewhat handsome.
JoshJones - 8/16/2011, 12:34 PM
@Plasticman. Yeah, that's Idris Elba
selinakyle - 8/16/2011, 12:38 PM
I dont watch the office but yeah he is the one in the losers.
Shaman - 8/16/2011, 12:49 PM
Yes, Henry Simmons would have won this poll hands down.
phoe1 - 8/16/2011, 1:00 PM
only cuz rick pryor is dead lol.
tracydavis001 - 8/16/2011, 1:07 PM
Was tyrese considered because I think hes the one who's popular and bankable to make a movie about luke cage work, or show up in a marvel movie as a co-star!!! Thats just what I think
Fonzieismypal - 8/16/2011, 1:08 PM
John Cena! I wanna see a white Power Man! Hell, we almost had a black Spider-Man, right? lol
tracydavis001 - 8/16/2011, 1:12 PM
Ok I went and looked again at the results , Tyrese had alot but he's the better choice other than Idris who a little old now.
selinakyle - 8/16/2011, 1:13 PM
yes tyrese was on the poll.
mandoe40 - 8/16/2011, 1:22 PM
Michael Jai White would be better, but he could still play another marvel character.....BISHOP!
MaddMonkk - 8/16/2011, 1:24 PM
@Fonzieismypal- please let's not get into a racial debate. Luke Cage is a black man. I would say "african american" but I believe that "american" is enough. Crews has the skill and the attitude, HE IS LUKE CAGE!
MaddMonkk - 8/16/2011, 1:26 PM
Common is made to play BISHOP
plasticman - 8/16/2011, 1:36 PM
Crews as Luke Cage. Elba as Bishop.

@ Selina- Thank you, I forgot how much I like Idris. He definitely needs a bigger part in a comic book movie. Maybe even John Stewart in the next Green Lantern movie and transition him into a Justice League movie!
Talontd - 8/16/2011, 2:37 PM
Too bad you were so damn stubborn and refused to put HENRY SIMMONS in the poll...


...the poll might have actually represented the opinions OF THE FANS...smh.
schuellerdg - 8/16/2011, 2:37 PM
micheal Jai White has the voice and the look for Luke Cage. He was my first pic for James Rhodes too
GUNSMITH - 8/16/2011, 2:38 PM
TERRY CREWS, NOBODY ELSE BETTER
thatiscrazy - 8/16/2011, 2:39 PM
Terry Crews hands down!

Micheal Jai white= worst actor ever

Micheal Jai white= worst actor ever

Micheal Jai white= worst actor ever

Micheal Jai white= worst actor ever
Talontd - 8/16/2011, 2:40 PM
Seriously.....where the fcuk is the EDIT button?
skiteman - 8/16/2011, 2:50 PM
Terry Crews would be able to ground Luke as a real life character. He could add the humor that needs to be there and he could be intimidating as well.
Ha1frican - 8/16/2011, 3:05 PM
i would say idris elba, but he was heimdall in Thor so i say MJW
RedHood13 - 8/16/2011, 3:11 PM
TYRESE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
rbfn04 - 8/16/2011, 3:36 PM
One word: Shaq! ROFL
Peteyparker - 8/16/2011, 3:51 PM
RAY PARK as IRON FIST!!!!

and a MUCH better acting Terry Crews
selinakyle - 8/16/2011, 4:18 PM
ugh...look, get over it! it was too late to put him in the poll. Now calm the [frick] down!
Phlegmbot - 8/16/2011, 5:20 PM
Terry Crews is not much of an actor...to say the least.

Let's leave the casting to the pros.
