14 Actors Almost Cast In The MCU (And Who They Could Still Play)
8. Chad L. Coleman
Who he almost played: Though the Black Panther casting process was done completely in secret, The Wire and The Walking Dead star was one of the actors rumoured to have been in contention at some point.
Who he could still play: With Marvel having recently re-acquired the rights to the character, Coleman could easily go from chopping down zombies to chopping down vampires as Blade, the superhuman daywalker.
Made famous by Wesley Snipes, Blade seems like a prime candidate for the Netflix/TV corner of the Marvel universe. Coleman has plenty of experience as a noted badass on TV and could slide right into the role next to Daredevil and the Punisher.
