LL Cool J Set To Appear in An Upcoming Marvel Movie? T'Chaka 'Black Panther' Fan-Casting Begins

Yesterday Marvel officially announced their slate of films leading through 2020 including Captain Marvel, The Inhumans and Black Panther. Well several hours later singer-songwriter and actor LL Col J released a tweet teasing a possible role in one of those upcoming films:

I'm so ready for this role in Marvel movie.

Many though the actor was simply campaigning for a role after the massive buzz Marvel started with their film slate. Some thought he could be playing Luke Cage in a Netflix series but the actor went onto clarify it was specifically for a movie:

It's a movie

So that's a no to Luke Cage so maybe he has a supporting role in Marvel's Black Panther starring Chadwick Boseman? Some think he could play the villain M'Baku alongside Andy Serkis's Ulysses Klaw. But nothing has been confirmed...

And I mean if they can hire T.I in Ant-Man why not LL Cool J?


Speaking of supporting roles in Black Panther the guys over at Latino-Review dropped what is more like a fan-casting then an actual scoop that Denzal Washington should play T'Challa's father T'Chaka the first Black Panther:

Denzel as BLACK PANTHERS'S father. Imagine?

Now while Denzal in anything would be great another great suggestion would be Black Sails, X-Men: Origins and Gotham Nigerien actor Hakeem Kae-Kazim (Above) especially if you listen to his accent which would be perfect as an African king:
