  Marrese Crump should be considered. He is a trained martial artist and actor.
  Mackie as a superhero....not believeable.

  Do all the African American Marvel heroes come from Harlem? No powerful cocoa beings from Chicago or Atlanta or Detroit? O__O

  The first Captain America movie was Charles Barkley -- turr'ble. Falcon, huh? As long as there are no jokes about fried chicken, *judge's voice* I'll allow it. And is it me or is Anthony Mackie being "groomed" by Hollywood to become the next Morgan Freeman? It's like Hal Jordan getting the ring from Abin Sur.

  Sorry but Falcon is kinda corny... the "Birdman" smh..

  BTW another black hero is slated to return as well...Static returns in Young Justice Season 3. We just don't know what date yet.

  NOOOOO!!! Hollywood, give the role to an unknown who will work hard for the role and do an amazing job like this brother here:https://www.facebook.com/Farley4Falcon

  Does Omari Hardwick even audition for mainstream movies?

  I ain't messing with your boy! You keep bringing him up and I'm trying to understand! Jason George is a TV name who will always work & have series regular roles, but I don't know if he'll ever blow up. He's a good (not great from anything I've seen, though maybe he's never had the right role to showcase his range) actor but incredibly charming and likable.

  Leave Omari alone. LOL. I dont know what your problem is with him. Jason George looks great! How is his acting? Why isnt he a household name? http://greenobles.com/data_images/jason-george/jason-george-01.jpg

  Chris is definitely not a powerhouse and I don't consider myself a fan, but he's more interesting/likable than Omari to me. So are Derek Luke, Anthony Mackie, Jason George, Boris Kodjoe, and bucketloads of other actors of all ethnicities and levels of attractiveness. Even Monsieur Baby Wipes, Terrence Howard is more charming and interesting to watch. I just don't get it yet; maybe I never will.

  Omari is a good actor. I think he does well. Maybe no award winning performance (and corresponding role) yet. He is also good-looking and that matters. I'm not sure Chris Evans (Captain America) is some phenomenal actor.

• Akimbo | July 16, 2012 5:52 PM

  Do you actually think Omari is that good an actor or are you just warm for his form? To me, he's capable, but kind of dull; never impressed, excited, or moved me.

  LOL. I just asked about Falcon (one of my favorites) in another thread and here you go. Tambay, get out of my head! Thanks for the update.

  Can I call it or what? They will probably use the Ultimate version of Falcon that drops the "talk to birds" angle and gives him kinda Christopher Nolan-esque "functional/relaistic" artificial wings.
