5. Black Panther Peter Mensah
Black Panther is an incredibly smart man who is also extremely physically fit, because apparently some people have all the luck. Of course, all superheroes are like this to some degree, as befitting their status, but aside from Tony Stark, it appears as if Black Panther aka TChalia aka Luke Charles might just be the smartest man in the room. This requires a certain level of finesse in casting you have to bring in a man whos not only as physically imposing as an Olympian, you also have to make sure theres an air of intelligence to him as well. Sadly, this rules out The Rock, who mightve been awesome (hell, the Rocks awesome as anything). On the balance of these probabilities, Id offer Peter Mensah the part. You may remember him as the guy Gerard Butler Sparta-kicks down a well in 300, but to some of us hes also known as one of the most bitchingly awesome characters ever committed to the small screen Oenomaus, the Doctore in the Spartacus series. For those of you who havent seen any Spartacus, go watch some Spartacus. Seriously, Ill wait you owe it to yourself to watch porn and violence with some oddly brilliant actorly performances. Its what happens when you chuck three 14-year-old boys and Shakespeare into a room together, and its fantastic. For me, the MVP of that series was Mensah, who puts on a terrifically layered performance. Hes simply all sorts of brilliant calm and composed in a eloquent-but-furious way and always the wisest man in the room, I think such mannerisms would make for a perfect Black Panther. Of course, it doesnt hurt that hes built like a god either, and If for nothing else, someone needs to put his cod-British accent in a Marvel film its like a picnic in your eardrums.
