The Old Spice Guy Wants to Be Luke Cage



Really. Check out the tail end of this Attack of the Show interview, where Mustafa reveals he’s a “comics junkie” and is desperate to be cast as Luke Cage. I say we let him. Do you know anyone else more manly, or with a more powerful presence, than Isaiah Mustafa, better known as The Old Spice Commercial Guy? Hell, forget Luke Cage — I think Mustafa could pull off Power Man, complete with the yellow shirt and the tiara, and I know there’s not another man alive who can do that. And while we’re on the subject, why the hell are we only talking about a Luke Cage movie? Why not go straight for Power Man and Iron Fist? That’s the Marvel movie I want to see. Anyways, this whole post was basically so I can reprint what Jake R. emailed me when he sent me the tip: “LOOK AT SPIDER-MAN, NOW LOOK AT ME, NOW LOOK AT IRON MAN, NOW BACK
TO ME. LOOK AT THIS, IT’S THOSE BULLETS YOU SHOT AT ME.
THOSE BULLETS ARE NOW DIAMONDS.”
