I know that Chiwetel Ejiofor is one of the most popular choices to play Black Panther if they introduce him in an Avengers sequel.
I think it's a great choice too but I also think that Michael would make a great BP based on his performance in Chronicle.
Anyone with me on this?

shareHaven't seen Chronicle yet (or Red Tails for that matter, horrible fan I know) but what age bracket are they going for with The Avengers?
Chiwe would have the advantage in that regard, I would think. It would be a bit awkward if all the other guys were older. For some reason I'm thinking they won't have a young black panther. I could see Michael maybe pulling it off but the only part that worries me...I don't know he could build up...but the accent. Hard call.
I'm a Chiwe fan as well and I could get behind him as BP, but somehow he isn't my first choice. Since I watched that Black Panther series I can't picture anyone but Djimon. I know that's not really possible as they likely will set him up for his own movie. And possibly (not really counting on it) more BP movies. So they would want a younger guy to grow into the series. I like the idea of an unknown.
I definitely think MBJ has the acting skills, the presence, could maybe bulk up and he'd just have to rise to the occasion on the voice. Its not just the accent, which Chiwe can do, his problem is consistency. It's also having the right sound. They need someone with a great voice, someone to transform and BE Black Panther. If the voice was good with only a slight accent, I personally wouldn't mind. But I'm not a hardcore fan of Black Panther.
Regardless I'd support either of them in this role but I'm not sure either is a perfect fit. Sure would like to see him get a shot at such an opportunity.
Rest in Peace Johnny Otis, Etta James, a Rhythm & Blues legend & a true artist you will be missed.
I'd rather see him as Patriot in a Cap sequel.
I have an unusual set of skills...
But Michael is pretty much the same age as the Thor & Black Widow characters. He would fit in just fine. I'm a little over Chiwe at this point.
shareYou're right. Not sure how old Scarlett Johannson is, I thought she was at least 5 years older than MBJ and Thor is young but reads older in my opinion. Anyway, MBJ still looks pretty young. That was my point. I just thought that was one of the reasons they would go with someone else, he reads younger. Again, I'm not really opposed to MBJ I just think that Chiwe is a more reliable choice overall and he seriously needs/deserves another breakthrough. I just have a feeling they are going to go with someone who is more established. Honestly, I'd rather them go with an unknown (though not likely to happen) and if possible an African or someone who is very convincing to be from this place untouched by European influence.
Rest in peace Sherman Hemsley. You will be missed.
I always thought Michael Jai white be great as black panther, just my opinion.
A hero need not speak, when he is gone, the world will speak for him...
Michael jai white would be awesome as black panther.
Michael BJ, has a babyface and deserves nothing better than the upcoming FF re-dud.
