Sylvester Stallone Plans To Make A Movie About Jack Johnson. Who Should Play Johnson?

[Eff Pandas]

He's got to be dark skinned and do a good southern accent.

How many guys does that leave?

Someone needs to find Petey Pablo to audition for this. Might be his big comeback.

Dwayne Johnson is 6'5", Jack was about 6 foot nothing. Should be looking for a black guy who is reasonably similar physically to Jack.

Tony Todd played Jack Johnson in a play a while back, that's the guy from 'Candyman', think he's a bit old for it now tho

Idris
or Michael B Jordan, if he can put some weight on

[A.K]

Start with someone fresh that actually looks like him and someone younger so you can go through his life leading up to his prime, Edris and them are too old.

Tarver would be perfect. Stallone already knows him/worked with him.

Yeah but Hollywood doesn't think the Rock is black

they consider him raceless or ambiguous like Vin Diesel's

That's why his on-screen families often look like this



and in this pc times, no way they're gonna cast a non-black in a black role

blackwashing is perfectly fine in Hollywood

but changing a black character's race would be an outrage

If ***** is black then the rock is black

Tarver would be perfect. Stallone already knows him/worked with him.

good shout, he is getting on a bit tho, wonder what timeframe the movie will be based on

[soul_survivor]

I'mma go with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The Rock needs a good boxing movie on his film resume any damn way. How he ain't played a boxer yet is beyond me.

The Rock? LMFAO wthhhh? the guy is way too big to be Johnson and is mixed race anyway.

I think Idris Elba might fit better in the role or Chiewetel or the guy who played BP.

[Dolor]

They need a black man for the role

The Rock isn't considered black

If Achilles can be black, Johnson can be white too.

[Outworn]

Kevin Hart. Just joking. Terry Crews maybe.
