Did LL Cool J get cast in a Marvel movie? According to him, the answer is yes. The NCIS: Los Angeles actor took to twitter last night and said he's prepared for a Marvel role. Which role? Well, that's still a mystery.

Assuming this pans out, there's a lot of questions. Many may automatically assume he'll be Luke Cage, but that's a Netflix series, not a movie. Maybe he just used the wrong word? And what if he isn't even talking about a Marvel Studios movie? Fox and Sony are making plenty of "Marvel" movies, after all. He most likely means Marvel Studios, but seeing as that's all of the information that has been released, we can't really jump to conclusions just yet. If the actor is going to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who would you like to see him play? Let's keep an eye on his twitter page and see if he ever says, "Sweet Christmas!"

I can't see how a Luke Cage TV series could work. It should be a movie instead.

He didn't even use proper grammar in his tweet. Maybe Hollywood is making a movie called MARVEL and he has a part in it? *Though I wouldn't mind him as Luke at all*

I'm thinking Man-Ape, somewhere else someone mentioned Gauntlet and that also could work.

Luke Cage isn't getting a movie, and Feige said there were no plans for the Netflix characters to appear on film.

In addition, he's too old to play Luke.

I'm guessing he could be Bill Foster in Ant-Man or a Guardians of the Galaxy 2 character. Or maybe he's in a Fox film.

Or the new Nick Fury since he's younger. :)

Oddly, "male storm" is an anagram of "maelstrom", which describes "a powerful whirlpool in the sea or a river", which could also be a good name for a weather power character.

A male Storm seems unlikely. Would he suit such a part though?

See this:

It’s crowded, so the Netflix Defenders characters are not likely to be in the features, but they are the same continuity so anything is possible.

http://www.newsarama.com/22570-marvel-studios-event-live.html

Well he doesn't say it won't happen, just unlikely. Though I'm sure they'd want to wait and see how they're received before they start having these characters make appearances in the movies anyways.

True, I just said there were no plans, not that it would never happen.

I don't think he meant it literally. I think he was saying "I am ready for A marvel role" as in marvel I would love to work with you. I could be totally wrong and with the announcement of a black panther film a lot of roles for black actors are up for the grabs so he could be playing anyone. I cant believe I never thought of mr. cool himself to play luke, that would be awesome though terry crews will always be my first choice for luke

Yeah, if Agent Carter is good, hopefully we'll see a Nick Fury show set during his younger years. I wouldn't mind seeing the next Nick Fury actor being a little young either.

He's has the look, but I haven't seen him in anything. Also, google says he's 5'11. Not sure if it's true or if that's a big deal.

Not that it means anything, but he did favorite my tweet.

Could he just be saying he has or will be auditioning for this part and is pumping himself up so they will see his confidence or something.

It would be cool, but he could be playing anyone. I remember when Dinklage was cast people said this:

@shadowswordmaster: Thanks. Curious as to if he did so because he likes the idea of being one of those characters or if he's actually in talks for one of them.
