Michael Clark Duncan looks too old to play Cage. In my opinion Henry Simmons is a better choice. --Previous Message-- : Precisely *because* people have different : perceptions. : : Movies may use a current look, i.e. the one : from Black Panther, Cage, H4H and so on; : they may go with the original look; or they : may go another way altogether, as the X-Men : movies. : : Arvi Arad said he didn't do spandex in Blade : and so on because it looked stupid to put a : real person in an outfit like that. : : He might also think that, in 2006 or : whenever, that yellow shirt looked stupid. : : NA and Secret War did not go with any look : Cage ever had. Luke Cage never melted into : the background. That's blowing it as far as : I'm concerned. : : Henry Simmons would be better than Tyrese. : I'd rather have Michael Clark Duncan. We : know he has screen presence, that he can do : Luke Cage's attitude, and he's a reasonable : size at 6'5" and as heavy as 375 lbs. : : --Previous Message-- : : True, but if it is just a different : perception then how could the artist of : "NA and Secret Wars blew it" by : drawing him like he was drawn in the 70's : and 80's. : And why would you only include his history : in the late 80's early 90's if there : "is no reason for people who know his : history to forget it." : What about Henry Simmons from NYPD Blue how : do you think he would do as cage, I agree : that tyrese is too small for the part. : : --Previous Message-- : We all have our different perceptions. : : --Previous Message-- : : --Previous Message-- : That's what Luke Cage lukes like to me. It's : how he looked in the 90s. : I don't remember Luke looking like -that- in : the 90s. He's big, yeah, but he's not a : bodybuilder in level of cut-upped-ness. : : Luke Cage is not supposed to look like some : guy. He's huge. Just because NA and Secret : Wars blew it is no reason for people who : know his history to forget it. : : What about those of us who remember his : history back from the 70s and 80s? Luke was : a cool cat back in the day, but he wasn't : built like the Rhino. : : I agree, I looked through my collection of : cage comics and while he has always looked : big he has never looked like a professional : body builder. I will concede that in the : cage series in the '90's he did look body : builder big but that was more the artist : then anything, the captain and wonderman : were both the same size as cage when they : guest starred, wonderman even held cage up : with one hand by the neck while standing up : and cage was way smaller then the hulk or : the rhino. I think Henry Simmons from NYPD : Blue is exactly how cage should look. on one : episode simmons character was looking for a : kid on a basket ball court and I half : expected him to say "What's my : name?" : : : : : : :
