Samuel L. Jackson
He’ll play the Eli Wallach character.
We won’t cast Jackson in the original team of seven, but he’s our favorite for the Eli Wallach character, the villain in the movie.
Besides being the only tough guy cool enough to dare to play Shaft, Jackson is a Jedi, for crying out loud. We could end it at “Mace Windu,” but if you want further proof, Marvel recast indisputable comic universe tough guy Nick Fury as an African American without any backlash. Yep, no one blinked.
Jackson is that legit.
