John Singleton has been attached to direct the Luke Cage film for awhile now and in a recent interview has shown some frustration over the project.

John Singleton: I don’t know if I’m doing Luke Cage. I want to do Luke Cage.

Frustrated with development?

John Singleton: Yeah. For me, the guy’s a hero. I’ve been wanting to do the movie since I was a kid and I’m not going to do it unless it’s right.

With all the comic book movies, why haven’t they jumped on?

John Singleton: Well, because it’s a black superhero and so studios still, some studios, don’t understand that yeah, it is a black superhero but so what? He’s a superhero. That hasn’t been done yet. Like I said, unless it’s right, I ain’t gonna do it.

It is good to hear that a director feels so passionate about respecting the original material. Hopefully someone will be cast in the lead soon and things can move forward.
