Ali is a phenomenal actor but I don't know if I could see him as Gordon. I know he's in his 40's but he looks more Ben McKenzie Gordon then Gary Oldman's Gordon.
He's a much better fit for Blade in my opinion.
Although I wonder if this means WB/DC would be going for a black Batgirl or if they've just not through these movies that far. Was
The Lego Batman Movie prophetic
?
That's a random thought. Have there been any Kravitz rumors? I was under the impression Vanessa Kirby was still a front-runner.
I could definitely see Foxx as Gordon more. He has more of the prominent facial hair and he would feel like the "older and wiser" Commissioner for Batman then I think Ali would.
