COVID NITES – Day 2 (Actually Day 54) – Chuck Norris vs. Corona and Luke Cage Directed by Quentin Tarantino

Luke Cage Directed by Quentin Tarantino?

Tarantino nearly directed a ‘Luke Cage’ movie which would have starred Laurence Fishburne from r/MarvelStudiosSpoilers

Yeah, Lawerence Fishburne as Luke Cage is a hard “NO” for me and an even harder “NO” for having Wesley Snipes playing Cage. Wesley will always and forever be Blade.

“So what killed the idea? Tarantino pins it on bickering with his “comic-geek friends,” who didn’t like his idea to have Fishburne play Luke. At the time, Fishburne was on a roll with performances in films like Spike Lee’s “School Daze” and Abel Ferrara’s polarizing crime thriller “King of New York,” the latter of which Tarantino thought was proof he was ready for the role. But Tarantino’s friends thought that someone else should play the hero: Wesley Snipes.”
