All they need is Denzel in this shit to make it complete. The best and most athletically explosive cast of all time. Get a cameo with SLJ as Nick Fury just for good measure.

btw, I love the complaints. 90% of everything everywhere has a white male lead. The few times a mainstream movie, show, or game comes along that features a black guy, the bigots start lamenting.

"B-b-b-but racism!"

"If I made a movie called White Panther, they'd say I was being racist!"

 

[SoberAwakening]

Holy crap! Angela Bassett is going to be in this movie?! This is a stacked cast.

It's the same with sexism.

When a dominant group loses some power, they don't handle it well.

"This isn't needed, everything is OK now, they don't want equality, they want superiority" said every bigot ever in the face of positive change.

 

[JackWhite]

Stoked for Bassett being added to the cast.

 

[FyrFytr998]

Any word if Andy Serkis being attached has advanced beyond rumor.

AB joining the cast is exciting. Would be excited as well to see John Khani doing some flashback work with her.

 

[Rob Battisti]

Awesome! Really excited for this!

 

[Strychnine]

This is getting better and better every time I hear about it!

I'm not surprised by this casting at all, good choice.

Thanks for the tag! I'm glad to see they're not trying to white people it up for PC/financial reasons.

 

[MMA since 1993]

Hot Damn. Angela Bassett still got it going on at 58.

 

[D Train]

BP was one of my favorite characters as a kid. He was rad as hell in CW and I am excited about this film.
