Should've just got Jean Reno since he already played the same role in the cinematic masterpiece that was Rollerball remake Laughing

dude bears a fair resemblance to vector. Id heard cameron was a big fan of the motorball arc so it kinda makes sense they seem to be trying to get motorball at the center of it all.

If Hollywood had a time machine they could go cast young grace jones as Zafal Takie.

I'm happy to see Mahershala Ali get more work. He was fantastic in Luke Cage.

I really like this choice! I loved his performance as Cottonmouth from Luke Cage and Remy Danton from House of Cards. Hopefully negotiations go well for him to be on the movie. I really wonder how the staff will condense the plot since they're involving Hugo and Vector in the motorball business when in the manga they never had anything to do with it. Oh well, no adaptation can be perfect but I hope the film at least captures the themes and atmosphere. If it can do that along with the actors giving stellar performances then I'll be pleased.

I guess being Harlem King wasn't enough for him spoiler[ For a while before he gets done in by the Black Moriah]
