Quentin Tarantino Wanted To Make A ‘Luke Cage’ Film Starring Laurence Fishburne

etcanada.com:

Quentin Tarantino has always insisted that he will only make 10 films but one of those was almost “Luke Cage”. The director recently revealed that he was working on the idea of a Marvel film, “Luke Cage: Hero for Hire” with Laurence Fishburne in the title role.

The news came while he was on Amy Schumer’s podcast “3 Girls, 1 Keith”. “There was a time before all this Marvel s**t was coming out,” Tarantino said. “It was after ‘Reservoir Dogs,’ it was before ‘Pulp Fiction,’ and I had thought about doing ‘Luke Cage.’ Growing up I was a big comic-book collector, and my two favourite [comic books] were ‘Luke Cage: Hero for Hire,’ later ‘Luke Cage: Power Man,’ and ‘Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu.’” RELATED: Quentin Tarantino Has Been Writing Movie
