Wesley Snipes as Black Panther

Back in 1992, fresh out of the role that kick-started his career, Wesley Snipes was set to become Black Panther. In 1993, the actor was actually very committed to playing this role, saying that there were many superheroes out there, but there were none who were black.

Reportedly, a script was even handed to the studio (Columbia Pictures), and Stan Lee himself liked and approved it.

It didn't really pan out, though. Eventually, Wesley Snipes went out and did two Blade movies. In 2002, he said that he had to choose between doing Blade 3 or Black Panther. Unfortunately, he chose Blade Trinity "“ and we all know how that was.

In 2004, when Wesley Snipes had been set to star in the movie for 11 years, director David S. Goyer said that it would be overkill for Snipes to portray two different Marvel superheroes at the same time.

The "˜90's were Snipes' years "“ so I suspect that he would have been a great Black Panther, even if the story wouldn't have had any meat to it. But, hey, those were the "˜90's, so it would have been entertaining"¦
