Bishop was a character created by Whilce Portacio and John Byrne for Uncanny X-Men, and the character then headed up the X-treme X-Men comic by Chris Claremont, Salvador Larroca and Igor Kordey. He was portrayed by Omar Sy in X-Men: Days Of Future Past based on the Claremont/Byrne comic.
And he’s currently locking lips with Jean Grey over in Age Of X-Man.
But Chris Claremont has just seen the trailer for Hobbs & Shaw. And has an idea.
Dang! I mean, *Dang!* Just saw the Hobbs & Shaw trailer. Aside from the fact that they’d make a great F&F team-up cross-over with John Wick, the total revelation is Idris Elba as, wait for it, the Bad Guy. I’m sorry, I find myself rooting for him because, well, he’s him. And speaking purely from my X-perspective, he is *so* totally perfect for (my vision of) Bishop! Not to mention 007, bit that’s *so* another path entirely. Perhaps he could team-up with the Rock but if so who the heck could the studio find to prove a decent adversary? This could turn out to be a *very* enticing cinema summer …
No reason folk from the far future can’t look like gods from the present, right?
