Idris Elba on Prometheus

  Perhaps the coolest man on the planet is Idris Elba. The British star has appeared in Thor and now Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. I’m still hoping Elba will play King T’Challa in a Black Panther movie.

  Elba is part of Ridley Scott’s Prometheus. While promoting Ghost Rider with Dread Central he talked about his experience on Prometheus.

“It’s incredibly visually stunning. Ridley Scott is a genius,” Elba said. “We’re really mindful of the audience knowing too much before they get there because it’ll spoil it, but it’s a very exciting film. Fans of Ridley and his legacy will be very proud of it.”

Elba plays Captain Janek in Prometheus and will hopefully reprise his role as Heimdall in Thor 2.

What’s Next for the Black Panther

  What a finale for Black Panther: The Most Dangerous Man Alive #529 out this week! Black Panther versus the Kingpin with Lady Bullseye, Typhoid Mary, Luke Cage and Falcon guest starring!

  T’Challa took over numbering and Daredevil’s role as protector of Hell’s Kitchen but his time in New York is at an end.

    What will Marvel do with T’challa?  Will he reclaim his kingdom of Wakanda? Which side will T’Challa choose in Avengers Versus X-Men? T’Challa is a longtime Avenger, Captain America just recruited Storm for Earth’s Mightiest Heroes but she’s in Uncanny X-Men’s Extinction Team so he would be a man in great conflict in AVX.

  Let’s give Black Panther his own team in his own series based in Wakanda. Let’s get Idris Elba as T’Challa, Madds Mikkelsen as Klaw, and Paula Patton as Monica Lynne.
