Damn, just saw dude in Four Brothers the other night and wondered why he didn’t get cast for a role in the Black Panther yet. Guess, they thought he’d make a good villain here too. I’ve no gripe with the role they gave him, just feels a little random compared to the other options they had. Great actor though, no doubt he’ll kill that role and then some. Hopefully they got him under contract for multiple films.
I guess Brother Voodoo/Doctor Voodoo is dropped? Could be found too racist. If Eijofor is the villain here, I think there’s like 85% chances he will just die in this movie XD LOL Marvel.
The only chance I see for him this time is they could amalgam Mordo/Voodoo into a single character and make him more of a rival for Strange… Don’t see it happening, though
Doctor Strange is one of those movies that CAN pull that off.
I have immense problems with taking twins, and making one of them black and one of them adopted. It kinda ruins that whole twin magic vibe you get from twins. You know, when they have zero relation to each other.
But a comic like Doctor Strange? Doctor Strange could be pretty much anybody (or at least, the Sorceror Supreme could be ;)). The Ancient One is a fucking Ancient One. Could be any race, any religion, any creed, any sex. The chick they went with plays creepy Ancient beings quite well, given her performance in Constantine. Fuck, she was probably the best part of that whole fucking trainwreck. Speaking of which, I love when Marvel steals DC rejects and then makes them into pure gold, so this is another bonus for me.
Mordo just needs a good goatee, in my books. He’s another mage that could come from anywhere in the world.
Characters like Spider-Man are weird. They’re dependent on the time period, the location, and so many other factors. That’s why Miles Morales took off so well. But some characters are defined by their family and their relationships just as much, hence why you get stories like the Fantastic Four being so hard to do when you make even the most subtle of changes to the formula. Some characters, I complete agree you could make any race or sex you wanted to, and the stories would still work 100%. Some characters, you just gotta go with what works, because it’s what worked.
In this case, yet again you prove why you should have never advanced beyond colour by number books, and left comic books and anything involving thinking, reading, imagination, or not being fucking retarded water baby from birth and demanding a Jerry’s Kid’s telethon in your honour, to the rest of us non-simpleton’s.
It seems you don’t even know how to read, because I just said I’m cool with the changes… But do they have the potential of sparking controversy, instead of “making people shut up”? Of course they have. You better don’t understimate the power of SJW over-analizers, and whatever I gave it was only a quick example.
Nevertheless, I agree Doctor Strange can pull that off, but only because the characters from that license are basically unknown for almost everyone, unlike Spider-Man or the Fantastic Four.
Jones is impossible to be T’Chaka, the character is supposed to be an early old man, probably in his mid 50s, but still incredibly fit, muscular and still able to win 9/10 fights against opponents 20 years younger and double his size. Nice voice aside, Jones just wouldn’t fill for the role.
Danny Glover is the logical choice for this role, he can sell anything and is after all the greatest black actor of all time. Plus we get to hear him say this before hes murked…
By the way, Deadline says Mordo “may not necessarily be the film’s primary antagonist” and he will be “an amalgamation of characters culled from Doctor Strange‘s mythology.” I can only think of Brother Voodoo.
I’d like the idea of Mordo pretending to serve Dormammu, then revealing everything was a plan to destroy him.
