Quentin Tarantino grew up collecting Luke Cage comics, and he wanted to make a film adaptation starring Laurence Fishburne after directing Le iene (1992). He later explained, "What actually dissuaded me from doing it... was my comic geek friends talked me out of it... Because I had an idea that Larry Fishburne would've been the perfect guy to play Luke Cage... But all my friends were like, 'No, no, listen, it's got to be Wesley Snipes.' And I go, 'Look, I like Wesley Snipes, but Larry Fishburne is practically Marlon Brando. I think Fish is the man.' And they're like, 'Yeah, but he'd have to get in shape in a big way. Snipes is that way already!' And I go, 'Fuck that! That's not that important! Fuck you, you ruined the whole damn thing!'" He made Pulp Fiction (1994) instead.
