Star Wars actor Ahmed Bestwho played Jar Jar Binks in the prequel trilogy and Kelleran Beq in The Mandalorian, is now looking to get in on the Marvel movie action! The actor recently shared a post on social media about him campaigning for the role of Blue Marvel in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The actor shared some fan art of himself as Blue Marvel and said: “I think I would make a great #bluemarvel […] As my mother would say #manifesting LOL.”
Best also tagged several Marvel accounts, Marvel Studios and, of course, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige. The art for Best as Blue Marvel was created by an artist known as dieselfunk.
Blue Marvel, aka Adam Brashear, is a character who made his debut in Adam: Legend of the Blue Wonder No. 1 in 2008. A brilliant scientist with a doctorate in theoretical physics and a decorated Navy veteran, and during a project to use antimatter as an energy source, Adam was caught in an explosion and became a living antimatter reactor stable and acquired superhuman abilities. These abilities include enormous super strength, flight, near-invulnerability, and energy manipulation. His power level was so immense that he was often compared to some of the most powerful characters in the Marvel Universe.
During the civil rights era of the 1960s, after the public discovered that he was an African-American superhero, social prejudice led the United States government, including John F. Kennedy, to ask him to retire from superhero activities, as they feared the implications of such activity. a powerful black superhero during a racially tumultuous time.
Although Blue Marvel had been sidelined for many years, he eventually resurfaced to help the Avengers and other heroes deal with various threats. He also faced the challenge of reconciling with a world that had changed in his absence and of combating the prejudices and socio-political complexities of his past.
Sounds like a good Marvel character for Best to play! I have no idea if it will ever happen, but if it does, I think the fans would appreciate it. What do you think?
