I personally like Stewart more then Hal as well, but outside of Elba, I do not know any black actors that I think could carry a singular film by themselves.

Maybe Michael Jai White, but I do not think he has the name recognition. You could do Will Smith (I know, but remember, he actually is a pretty good actor when he wants to be), but he is in SS now.

I got nothing. I could see Common playing the role, but only in a supportive role.

wat?

Chiwetel Ejiofor, David Oyelowo,Terrence Howard, Jeffrey Wright, Courtney Vance, Wood Harris, Lorenz Tateall, all say hi.

Man I like Elba but holy fricking shite this board has overrated him to the extreme at this point. He is not the end all be all of black actors.

I'd like to see Adrian Lester given a shot. He was on an awesome show called Hustle. He's British but Im sure like Elba he could pull off an American accent.
