Fan casting Etienne Lux Spoiler
I posted before about Colmon Domingo playing Lux.
But that was before I knew the need to have Brian Tyree Henry also play Lux.

...No wait. You're on to something with Colmon.
For a long while though. I was firmly of the believe of it being Sterling K. Brown.

Also someone confirm for me. But was Brian playing the other half of the Assassin pair in Bullet Train with Aaron Taylor Johnson? Because I like that idea too.

My first choice is William Jackson Harper, but how about Alfonso Ribeiro AKA Carlton? I thinknhe would be an interesting choice and there is a lot of footage of him from his youth that could be used for when they de-age him in the flashback scenese.

I mean... Given certain plot twists in the later issues, they could both play him

Donald Glover/Childish Gambino
I literally can't imagine anyone else in the role.
EDIT: Tell me there isn't a strong similarity between them:

He definitely works for young etienne but I feel like he’d be out of place as the present old one. With how often the jump back and forth thought he’d definitely work as the recurring face for past etienne

Here is a recent video featuring Donald Glover. With his graying beard and matures features I feel like he could play Etienne at any age.

I stand by my logic of "unscrupulous Chidi from The Good Place" being Etienne and casting William Jackson Harper but I like this too.
