> implying Sacha isn't a great actor
>>83614800
I am utterly indifferent.
>>83614800
>The first superhero in comics
Every golden age pulp character seems to claim that distinction.
>>83614800
Interesting. Not much else to say since it's in such an early stage.
>>83614800
All I ever wanted was Dolph Lundgren as Stardust, and now it's just too late.
>>83615115
But he wasn't a pulp character
Now, follow it up with a new Phantom and Flash Gordon film, then we can make this movie happen
>>83614800
Hope he does a weird autistic Mandrake
>>83615330
OUT OF THE SKY
>>83614800
At least it wasn't Johnny Depp.
>>83614800
>The first superhero
He was a magician, technically wearing regular clothes
>>83615609
He also fought crime and had powers. A magician does tricks. Mandrake could do magic.
>>83615163
First comic book superhero. Also first comic book superhero with a black best friend. Will they cast Idris Elba?
>>83614800
Mandrake inspired Zatara. Zatara led to Zatana. If it weren't for Mandrake we wouldn't have Zatana and likely many more heroes. Also, nice double o's.
>>83614978
A few years ago when it was first in development it was going to be Hayden Christiensen.
>>83616411
They'll need a big guy. Apparently Sacha and Elba are both 6'3".
>>83614800
Holy shit I didn't even know Mandrake was getting a movie, fuck yeah!
>>83615410
HIS ROCKETS IGNITE
>>83616651
It's too bad we don't have MCD anymore. Terry Crews and Kevin Grevioux are both 6'3 but are really big guys.
>>83614800
That's not a bad choice, really.
I'm done with this "movie universe" shit, but I'd be lying that I wouldn't love a series of classic noir hero movies leading up to Defenders of the Earth. Heroes like Phantom and Mandrake deserve more love.
>>83615237
Too late for that but how about a detective that can smell crime
>>83616746
Omar Sy (Bishop in X-Men DOFP) is also 6'3. Weird. I could have sworn they were all taller.
>>83616746
>>83616848
>>83616651
Shit. And the Killer Croc and Kurse guy is only 6'2.
>>83615115
It's Gold Bat, technically. 1931.
>>83616651
tfw at 6'5, Tyler Perry is the tallest black man in Hollywood
>>83615315
Was he in comic strips or comic books?
>>83614800
>Mandrake the Magician
What the fuck?
I mean, that's pretty cool, but I'm blown away that it's an actual movie they're making.
