Superhero Hype! got a chance to speak with actor Tyrese Gibson at the Death Race junket in San Diego on Sunday. During the interview, he gave them a very interesting scoop on another big project for him that will hopefully be happening the near future: Thundercats!
Tyrese said that he's been very involved in the attempt to bring the classic '80s cartoon series to the big screen and seemed to hint that a deal is very nearly complete. We asked him what character he'd be playing and he just smiled and said that there's a number of options on the table.
Late last year, the project was announced as a CG-animated feature at Warner Bros. Pictures that would be directed by video game veteran Jerry O'Flaherty. Whether that still stands is unknown.
I could totally see Thundercats as an animated feature, like Final Fantasy: Advent Children or like Beowulf. Either way, I can't really see Thundercats as a live action film. To me the film would look more like Cats rather than Thundercats. As far as his options, Panthro is the only character I can see Tyrese playing. While we're still talking about Tyrese, Don't you think he would have made a perfect Raheim in the big screen adaptation of the popular gay novel, B Boy Blues?
