Fan CastingQuentin Tarantino’s Luke Cage: Hero For Hire (2008)

Luke Cage, the comic books for which were inspired by Blaxploitation. As Tarantino once told MTV, “After ‘Reservoir Dogs,’ I had considered doing a ‘Luke Cage, Hero for Hire’ movie. [Producer] Ed Pressman owned the rights at that time, and we talked about it. I talked to [Laurence Fishburne] about being Luke Cage, and he really liked that idea. Then I ended up writing ‘Pulp Fiction.'” There has been a renewed interest in Luke Cage following Netflix’s now-cancelled original series, which featured Mike Coulter in the lead role. If Tarantino decided to make his last movie a superhero movie, it’s likely “Luke Cage: Hero For Hire” would be a leading contender. The only issue is that Disney and Marvel have to wait two years from the show’s Netflix cancellation before they begin developing new “Luke Cage” material.
