Who to play Kwame in Captain Planet?

Updated: Jul 5, 2020

I've been thinking about the old 90s show Captain Planet and how it can be brought back. In ways of a new animated series and/live action movie. I miss Planeteer Alert! For now... here will be doing casting choices. Starting off with Kwame.



Kwame is the unofficial leader of the Planeteers from Africa. Based on Phil-Cho's artwork

and story (check out here!), I was thinking of Kwame being someone who loves nature & once trained by shamans. Even African stick fighting as his martial art. With the power of the ring of Earth, he'll control all plants, trees & mountains. And stop deforestations like bulldozers from destroying the forests & jungles.


Rorrie D. Travis

Rorrie is an African-American actor who would be a good one since his time in Power Rangers Beast Morphers as Devon the Red Ranger.


Shameik Moore

Actor, singer, dancer & rapper Shameik is Jamaican, but he could pull off an African character like Kwame.


Trevor Jackson

Trevor is an actor & singer since he appeared in Austin & Ally as Trent along with other movies & TV shows like SuperFly.


Stephan James

Jamaican-Canadian actor can pull off being Kwame as he appeared in movies such as If Beale Street Could Talk, Race, Homecoming & 21 Bridges.


John Boyega

British-Nigerian actor Boyega is best known for his roles as Moses in Attack the Block, Jamal in Junkhearts, Melvin Dismukes in Detroit, Jake Pentecost in Pacific Rim, Ugwu in Half of a Yellow Sun and Finn in the third generation of Star Wars films.


Akai Osei


British Ghanaian dancer and actor best known for his roles in 4 O'Clock Club as Nero Johnson, Junior in Street Dance and Street Dance 2, cameos as Jolly Josh in the Horrid Henry Movie and plays Jaden in All Stars.


Luke Youngblood


British Kenyan actor Luke Youngblood best known for his roles as Ben Batambuze in The Story of Tracey Beaker, Lee Jordan in Harry Potter, Magnitude in Community, Frostee Benson in Fast and Furious: Spy Racers and Mitch Williams in Glitch Techs.


Roger Jean Nsengiyumva



Rwandan born British actor Roger Jean Nsengiyumva is best known for his roles as Dadir Hasan in Informer, Rog in Tomb Raider, Fabrice in Africa United, Jumah in SIXTEEN and Cole Eli in Chasing Shadows.


Ncuti Gatwa
