    @spideysense44: I don't get it. You post mismatched battles in the general discussion forum, and general discussions in the battle forum. If you're trying to give the impression that you're a troll, you're doing a marvelous job.

    Idris Elba is already Heimdall.

    I'd say get Chiwetel Ejiofor for T'challa

    Idris Elba or Michael Jai White. Both are great actors and look pretty much as T'Challa.

    That's true, on one side, he "is a legitimate holder of seven black belts of varying degrees in seven different Martial Arts forms" (citation from the official Michael Jai White web site), but is already 40. Idris Elba is not a martial artist, but looks very similar to the King of Wakanda, and his performance is not worse than Michael Jai White's.

    @cyberwarrior: The only problem is idris plays in Thor :(

    I've forgotten about that :) , as they are both placed in the Marvel Cinematis Universe, this might get a bit fishy...

    I like Chiwetel Ejiofor for BP as well. For Hank Pym, I still prefer the Adrien Brody rumors, but Alan Tudyk could do a bang-up job too.

    I say Elba has the voice and the physique, though I'm not sure about martial arts. Another thing is that Elba has the ruthlessness and the harder edge to pull off T'Challa.

    I say replace Heimdall with someone else. Elba's awesomeness shouldn't be contained to such a minor supporting character!

    Have you read Christopher Priest's BP run? I don't know, me personally, I think Elba would fit that incarnation of the character perfectly.

    I actually liked the way Whedon wrote the team in the first movie though. Cap was kinda the 'leader' in the sense that he gave all the orders, but it seemed more like an equal team partnership thing.

    Damn shame that Djimon Hounsou is all ready 50 years old otherwise he would an absolute perfect T'Challa. Perhaps cast him as T'Chaka or S'yan instead

    Otherwise I think Chiwetei Ejiofor is solid choice if he's not too old (36). Assuming they want to go with a young T'Challa just taking over the throne he might be. Michael B Jordan would be the youngest (26) best actor I could think of for T'Challa. But rumor has it he's the new Johnny Storm.

    As far as the Panther goes Chiwetel Ejiofor would be perfect but the Chadwick Bosemanwho played Jackie Robinson in 42 would also be a great choice.
