While promoting his next film SinnersThe actor veteran spoke candidly with Entertainment Weekly on his now deceased MARVEL STUDIOS Troubled involvement Lama Restart.

Although he could not reveal who should have played, Lindo clarified that the version of Lama Initially he signed for a long time. He explained:

“When Marvel came to me, they seemed really interested in my contribution. And in the various conversations I had with the producers, the writer, the director at the time, everything led to being very inclusive.

“It was really conceptually exciting, but it was also exciting in terms of the character who would have formed. And then, for any reason, he just came out of the rails.”

Lindo continued to describe a character who could have brought to the film a unique ideological and cultural depth.

“There was a component of Marcus Garvey to those who were preparing. I am not saying that it would have been a garvey-hest out and outside. Not that, but only in terms of how the philosophy of this man, his ethos and what was guiding him.

“He was a character he had, very similar to SinnersHe created a community, a black community. He was a character who was the head of this community. “

It is a kind of sin that the vision will not see the light of the day, especially if you consider Lama He has already crossed multiple directors, rewrites and delays.

He also touched another blocked project, Amazon’s Guys from AnansiBased on Neil Gaiman’s novel and used it to reflect on how uncertain the industry can be:

“Don’t count your hens, friend. It’s a shame. I could be wrong Guys from Anansi. Maybe it will be released. This is another reason to knock on wood. Because there are banana peels throughout the landscape.

“It doesn’t matter how experienced the level of talent involved has been, you can always slip, which brings me back to knocking on wood. S can happen, friend. At any time.”

This actually marks Lindo’s second collaboration with Marvel. In 2016, he was ready to act in Shield agents spin off More refinedBut that series was demolished before it took off.

Despite the door of the MCU which ends once again on Lindo, it does not seem bitter, simply realistic.
