In a week that has had a few strange news stories, this one might be the strangest (or most random).
AllHipHop.com was reporting that Ice Cube could potentially become the next actor to play J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man reboot. Here’s what the report said:
I always have mixed feelings on rappers entering the world of comics, but there is an issue that people have in general. The reassigning of color to formerly white characters. I get it. To make progress they have simply made former main characters that were white BLACK. Nick Fury transformed. Johnny Storm was Sue Storms sister. Somehow they made him a brother and her a…never mind. The latest character they are allegedly seeking to make Black is J. Jonah Jameson, the editor-in-chief at The Daily Bugle. He’s Peter Parker’s (Spiderman) boss. Here he is.
And now there is reportedly rumors that Ice Cube might become that boss in the Spiderman Universe. This also links him to The Avengers. T.I. is also linked to The Avengers as well through the “Ant-Man” movie.
It also appears that Ice Cube came out and denounced it as a rumor but who knows? Maybe he’s trying to keep it a secret.
This is news to me:
