7. Tyrese Gibson
Tyrese Gibson has pretty much pleaded with Marvel to let him take the role of Luke Cage. I'll let him plead his case with an extract of what he said:
"Listen, to Marvel: this is Tyrese Gibson. Get it together. Let's go ahead and shoot this comic book. "Luke Cage is one of the original Marvel characters. Show some more respect. "Go ahead and get some traction going on Luke Cage. "I'm ready. I've got my headband ready, baby. What's the problem, officer? Go get it!"
And if you think he's not being serious, rest assured that he's stated he's just waiting on receiving the paperwork to sign! The Transformers and Fast and Furious star is no stranger to action and he certainly has the build for the role, so why not? Marvel, if you want him, he's yours!
