TERRY CREWS Can’t Choose Between Colossus or Thing


First things first ya’ll, Mr. Crews would like you to stop picketing Marvel Studios about the whole “Terry Crews for Luke Cage” calamity. In regards to that issue, this muscle bound thespian said:

Some people bring up Luke Cage, but honestly I have to step out of that because Marvel’s never really expressed an interest in making it. If Marvel hasn’t expressed interest in it, why should I?

Had it been 15 years prior, I’ve no doubt Crews would be the perfect Power Man/Luke Cage. The actor simply hasn’t aged, but since this role would likely require a near decade commitment, I’m not sure if even the mighty Mr. Crews could hold onto his youthful looks for that long. As it is now, he’s 45, which is a decade or two older than the comic book version of Cage. He could very well be 55 or 60 by the time his contract with Marvel finishes (since they love their multi-film commitments).

But that’s enough of that. Crews has no interest. Marvel has no interest. And even if we few fanboys have a bit of interest, it’s not strong enough to push either party on the proper road. Although, that doesn’t mean Terry Crews is completely disinterested in Marvel superheroes. In fact, the thespian would love to play Thing or Colossus on the big screen.

One character I always thought I could play is the Thing from Fantastic Four. Another character I’ve always loved as a fan is Colossus. If there was a way to make that happen that worked, I would love to be Colossus.

I suppose Bryan Singer’s already cast Colossus in the X-Men series, but Thing? Well, I’d be onboard with that. Terry Crews would need to spend some time cultivating a Yancy Street accent, but even I have to admit his shiny bald head would be the perfect resting spot for a yarmulke on the very Jewish Thing’s head.
