Isaiah Mustafa could be Power Man/Luke Cage

Old Spice hottie Isaiah Mustafa chats with Super Hero Hype about playing Luke Cage and the possibility of Marvel making it happen.

Here's some highlights from the interview:

SHH: Are you trying to get meetings with Marvel?
Mustafa: I've already had a meeting with Marvel. I talked to them and I told them that I was a gracious reader of their comics and that I wanted to be Luke Cage. So we'll see where they take it.

SHH: We see it, but why Luke Cage? There are a handful of heroes over there that you might be also right for, but why him in particular?
Mustafa: When you say "handful" you're not joking around, but it's because what's going on with him right now in the Marvel Universe. I think all their [early black] characters were these Blaxploitation characters - these jokey, clownish characters - but now they've really developed the African-American characters. Luke Cage has a lot going on. He's this man, he's got all these powers and abilities and he can use them to save whatever major city, but instead of doing that he uses them to help Harlem. He wants to fix his neighborhood, and that's what's so admirable to me. Instead of leaving and going someplace bigger, he stays right where he needs to be and tries to do the best that they can.

SHH: Does Marvel currently have something actively cooking for Luke Cage, or are you trying to help them get a film off the ground?
Mustafa: They have something in mind, I think, and I definitely want them to see that I'm extremely passionate about it. I'm extremely passionate about being that character. I will do anything to get that role. It strikes me. It's very personal to me. I hold onto it. It's something that I desire more than just about anything that I can think of right now, as far as work goes.

I think he could do it.
