Wesley Snipes has not given up hope of starring in long-gestating comicbook flick Black Panther. "I've always been attracted to the story because the protagonist is a strong African figure - a monarch who is very intelligent and powerful who uses his gifts to protect his people from external forces," he says. "I'd absolutely love to do Black Panther in Nigeria." David Goyer, who directed Snipes in the Blade films, was attached to the project at one stage but the two had a falling out and negotiations hit a brick wall. Apparently Snipes got a bit snippy about giving up screen time to (yep, you've guessed it) Ryan Reynolds in Blade Trinity. No doubt he'd be perfect for the role of the catty antihero - miaow! |
