Luke Cage: Diamondback Casting Update

---

Hustle & Flow star says he's in talks to play the Harlem gangster.

Terence Howard (Hustle & Flow) told IESB he's in talks to play Diamondback in the Luke Cage film, directed by John Singelton. Tyrese Gibson will be playing Luke Cage and is waiting on the second version of the script.

In the comics, Diamondback (Willis Stryker) "was highly skilled with the use of knives, in both fighting and throwing. He used both conventional knives and some specially designed by Gadget. The special knives contained other weapons, such as gas, sonic attack, and explosives. Stryker was involved with a criminal Syndicate and was assisted by its agents," according to IESB.
