Offer Sharlto Copley a role within the MCU

    Opening statement: I originally wanted Sharlto Copley to play Ulysses Klaue in Age of Ultron and Black Panther. They both have similar physical features as well as a somewhat similar accent/origin.

    I know that this seems like a very, VERY minor issue compared to the ones society has in the past ten years. But I do want to extend how talented and highly underappreciated this man is.
    For an actor whose most notable works lands within the "International Movies" category, Sharlto Copley has brilliant charisma on screen and, from his record of portrayals, is extremely malleable in character. He can switch from sympathetic, plucky, and likeable protagonist (District 9) to an aggressive, captivating and somehow still likeable antagonist in the next (Elysium). He's even had a shot at the Motion Capture roles as well as voicing acting for his own digitally created character (Chappie).

    I believe a man like this has high potential to act either as a primary antagonist or as a secondary, possibly as a mentor, friend, comic relief ally or anything in between. Along with his voice acting and motion capture capabilities, he could work alongside Vin Diesel or Bradley Cooper in the next Guardians of the Galaxy, or anything new and zany Marvel are planning next.

    Sharlto Copley's South African origins offer an extra stab towards diversity within the Marvel Movies and open other, similar actors up to the attention he could bring towards that ethnic direction within the industry. Not only that, but Copley's previous ties towards his three time movie employer, Neill Blomkamp, could introduce Blomkamp into the film universe as another creative and innovative director, much like James Gunn or more recently and notably Taika Watiti.

    Overall, I feel like Copley's presence would add a significant atmosphere to the franchise, and in doing so, creating another interesting personality for us all to enjoy.
