That or they could have pulled another Nick Fury and turned a white super hero black.
But yeah! Probably Luke Cage.

Falcon is already confirmed as being in the next Captain America film.IndianaJonny said:Whoa, Falcon [//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falcon_(comics)] didn't make the list at all? Granted, "super strength" isn't one of his given abilities (but then neither is it one of Black Panther's) but if a Captain America-connection is all that is needed to make the list, I'm surprised the Falcon's name hasn't been passed around - especially given he's (arguably) mainstream comics' first African-American superhero.
Whedon could be lying, you know. He does that.Mr. Q said:Damn, Bob! Major speed run on this speculation list. Sadly, Luke Cage would have to be dropped since Whedon had said that the mystery man isn't Luke Cage. But the rest of the list is a good selection of possible candidates. As for my pick, I'd have to go with either Rage of the second Power Man but don't quote me. The best piece of evidence we've got is a brief shot of our hero's arm at 2:14 on the full trailer.
Nick Fury's black in the Ultimate comic line and to top it off, he was depicted as looking like Jackson with his permission.Nomanslander said:That or they could have pulled another Nick Fury and turned a white super hero black.

Same thought at the same time. Although I wouldn't say white dude turned black. Just a black actor who happens to play a character that was white in the comics.Hindkjaer said:Is it to much to hope that it could also be like Heimdahl from Thor. As in A white dude, turned Black.. I know it's a long shot, but maybe, JUST MAYBE it could be the case...
Given that it's accompanied by Coulsons' voice saying "We're not the only ones interested in those who have powers", it could be something to do with the series main enemy. Meaning that it still could be Luke Cage. It certainly doesn't look "heroic".BabySinclair said:I don't think that it will be Cage because of the thing on his arm.
While Marvel reps have flat-out lied in the past, particularly when a mystery is guessed right out of the gate, my money is actually on Moon Knight. No, he's never been portrayed as a black man, but neither was Nick Fury before the Ultimates and neither was Heimdall before "Thor". Also, it would make the hoodie a clever costume choice. Still, it would mean they changed a lot of his backstory and gave him powers right from the beginning, so it might be a bit of a stretch, but I like banking on the long-shot.Honestly, we were looking for this part, and we just said, look, all our parts are open to all diversity. So the fact that we have a black dude who is awesome and it's J, was just because he was the best actor. It wasn?t like, ?You know who?!?
Same here, as someone who never really reads coomic books getting some insight into the characters of one of the biggest TV/Movie thing going on at the moment is very interesting.MB202 said:Aww man, I love hearing about all these comic book characters and potential for new movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
It's weird - I'm certain I saw an official website for the series linked from somewhere. The blurb I read says that your theory was pretty much exactly what happened - Coulson "held his breath" and played dead so the Avengers could be motivated. Honestly, I'm hoping that's not true because A)That's horrific trolling and not a good way to start a series, and B)It takes away the one legitimate "accomplishment" Loki's had in his cinematic existence, and that's really sad considering one of the most iconic villains of comics has so far turned out to be surprisingly terrible at his job (I'm just hoping that leads to some redemptive arc later in the movie series, maybe starting in Thor 2).Strain42 said:I think the reason behind Coulson's survival is pretty simple...Fury just kinda trolled them. A lie within a lie basically. We knew he lied about the cards, but I guess he also lied about the death of Coulson too.
To paraphrase Kung Pow
"We only saw him do this...hrrrk...guhhhh........that doesn't mean a person is dead."
