"We're talking to Marvel about Black Panther," Akinnuoye-Agbaje said. "This is the first round, so you know, hopefully they'll look at G.I. Joe and see the potential. But it's about time we have a black superhero, isn't it?"
for more on Akinnuoye-Agbaje's thoughts on the adaptation. The actor will portray Roadblock in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which will hit theaters August 7.

Djimon Hounsou has that classic african look and style
He could portray Balck Panther very well

Black Panther was already being adapted into a film for Wesley Snipes. The executives weren't sure if it would interfere with him already playing Blade or if Snipes was doing a fourth installment.
I have to agree with he idea of Djimon Honsou. He seems more worthy of the character but Adewale Akinnuoye-Abaje seems like a good choice. He's definitely a good actor: he was a co-star on Oz for HBO; he was in The Bourne Idenitity and Get Rich or Die Tryin'.
This is probably going to get a recast. We'll see.

Djimon Hounsou would be best.
This guy is cool but he seems kind of old.
He also seems like more of a villain type. I know Hounsou is busy with that Lee Falk character, but they should seriously try to get him on board for this.

I actually agree Djimon Hounsou is the only character i can see or want in this role.
I'm gonna guess, its cheaper to hire Adewale Agbaje, as the main role.
I wonder if they will incorporate the Storm backstory into this...

We seriously posted the exact same thing at the exact same time. lol. I agree though, I don't think this guy could do the character justice.

No. Hell no! Djimon Hounsou is the perfect choice, and I heard they wanted him to portray him. Why the change of mind?
