So still no confirmed Dr. Strange actor...
I know we should be hearing about Luke Cage, Jessica Jones and Danny Rand any day now.
I also know that the Internet and Terry Crews seem to want Terry Crews as Luke Cage.
I can't agree to this. I think it's problematic.
Crews is 46 and looks at least 40. This would be fine except for Jessica Jones.
Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are normally around 20. Of course, we could have Terry Crews as Luke with a much younger actress for Jessica Jones but then, people might feel he's taking advantage of her by being so much older.
Okay, let's make both Jessica and Luke older...which would make a lot of the viewing audience think they were way too old for one-time unprotected sex resulting in a child.
Thus, Jessica and Luke should remain in that 20-25 range. ..maybe they could do the storyline from Ultimate Spider-Man where his parents are found alive and his dad could be Terry Crews?
One of the quickest ways to piss me off in a Fandom discussion is to say that we won't see Miles Morales on the big screen in the next thirty years...this comment has been said to me MULTIPLE times!
Don't let a Disney XD animated series be more progressive than the actual films!

In America's Top Model there's a guy called Keith who would be perfect! He's got the look (he only has one look), he's muscly, he's sexy, he'd be great. Can he act? Probably not. There my plan fails. Maybe they'll find some up and coming guy they can make into a star. No one really knew much about Chris Helmsworth before Thor, not outside of Australian soapies, anyway.

Terry Crews is a phenomenal person and very well-rounded, have you seen his artwork?
However, apart from something like The Next Avengers, a flash forward or some other circumstance requiring an older Luke Cage, I think he's missed his window for playing Luke.
The actor who's playing Matt Murdock, their first Netflix series like Luke Cage and Jessica Jones are going to be, is Charlie Cox. I recognized the name when it was announced but couldn't place it with anything. I think the rest of the Netflix leads will be the same way.
