    I think people will complain that he's not 'black enough' or something like that though.

    He's not black enough, dammit!!!
    I wouldn't mind this choice, but I would go for somebody blacker. But I could see Marvel Studios using him as a selling point for Luke Cage, rather than having some random no name actor. But then again, look at what they did with Thor, they could follow its formula.

    Only if he fights Black Kingpin. 
     
    You know what?  No.  Sorry.  There's a reason Kingpin's white, and Cage is Black, and - for better or worse - "blackface" and "whiteface" are frowned upon.

    I agree, Have Terry Crews for this role, For 1 The Rock doesn't fit the Luke Cage mold and 2. Give the dark-skinned brothas a chance.

    id say terry crews or michael ji white....although the rock is currently bigger than both of them (not that it matters since all 3 are top end athletes at one point and can put on muscle fast)..terry deserves a staring role though at least once

    I think he'd be a better Black Adam or even Namor if he tried. 
     
    But I really don't hate this idea. What nationality is he anyway?

    I like the idea of Dwayne Johnson or Terry Crews as Luke Cage. It's a tough call.

    Dwayne Johnson is identical to how I think Cage should look.... a part from him being lighter skinned - and I think a Luke Cage film should have a  focus on the culture of African American life. I mean cmon, this isn't some blonde haired, white guy running round wearing the American flag!

    One of the nice things about Luke Cage is that he's an everyman character. He's really down to earth. A lot of people could play him and get it right. That's part of what makes the character awesome.

    nah, luke cage is pretty much normal family guy with powers and a hot wife. dwayne could play luke cage but he needs to be tougher like ving rhames from babyboy and ving rhames also has a deeper voice and  would be my pick luke cage if he weren't too old. luke cage can't hold a movie by himself he needs more depth. black panther movie could work play by aldis hodge from leverage he's a pretty good actor on that show.

    Terry Crews has played family man roles, Crews is more suited for the role.

    Nah, the Rock is perfect for this role I think. He's a good actor, probably the only good one to ever come from wrestling, and has a lot of talent. Not to mention he has a similar look, and definitely has the bulk. He's got my vote!

    The Rock as Cage? I have two words for this: NO WAY.
    BTW didn't John Singleton want to make a flick starring Tyrese? Are they any new information about that?
