4. Isaiah Mustafa

LC5

Isaiah Mustafa wants to be Luke Cage so much, he even created a video of himself as the superhero in a bid to convince Marvel that he’s the right man for the job (you can check it out by clicking here). As you’ll more than likely agree after watching it, Mustafa certainly seems to have what it takes visually, but can the man best known for starring in a series of Old Spice commercials actually act?! Yes actually, and a role such as this one could help put him on the path to taking on meatier roles than just brief appearances in the likes of Chuck and Nikita. His passion for Cage and comic books in general is also inspiring to fans sick and tired of actors pretending they’ve had more than just a cursory glance at the source material the projects they’re working on are based on. Being a fan is far from essential, but it would give Mustafa the advantage when it comes to what he should bring to this role!
