The Old Spice Guy Campaigns To Play Luke Cage. I’m Not Sold, Are You?

It seems that  Isaiah Mustafa has gone full Sean Young on us and is campaigning to be Luke Cage. There’s a short teaser he, and some other mysterious and undefined powers that be, have cut. Hit the jump for the trailer and my take on the entire thing.

My take: it’s a cool teaser, but it isn’t Luke Cage to me. For starters, I’m not down with the whole Power Man swing. I know he was the role for a good amount of time, but I like the new Bendis-fueled Luke Cage as a guy from the streets who lays down slatherings of smack and is generally indestructible. As well, Mustafa doesn’t swing the hard edge whatsoever. He’s a good looking guy trying to come off as intimidating.

It’s a very well done trailer, I just don’t think it sells the good man as Cage.

Thoughts?
