Donald Glover

While Glover didn't end up in the Spider-Man suit, his semi-serious campaign for the role helped make a strong and salient point about race and the modern superhero film.  Even though he's got another season of 'Community' coming next year and a role in season two of 'Girls,' chances are he'd be happy to work out his schedule so he could play Prince T'Challa, a great, strong character that could use a little levity if he's going to fit into the Marvel Movie Universe.  Glover hasn't really done the action movie thing so far, but that certainly doesn't mean he can't do it.
