Marvel’s Cinematic Universe will expand to Netflix with a series of superhero TV shows based in Hell’s Kitchen, starting when Daredevil – from showrunner Steven DeKnight (Spartacus) – premieres on the streaming service next week. Melissa Rosenberg’s (Dexter) A.K.A. Jessica Jones series will follow sometime later this year, before Luke Cage arrives in 2016.


The 2016 launch for Luke Cage has been confirmed in Marvel’s announcement that Cheo Hodari Coker is set to oversee the project. Coker will pen the first two episodes of the series, in addition to handling showrunner/executive producer duties. However, Mike Colter will first play the title character (a crime-fighter with super-human strength and durability) on Rosenberg’s Marvel/Netflix show – as the love interest for the former superhero turned private investigator Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter).



Coker was previously a writer/producer on TV series like Southland, Almost Human, and Ray Donovan; he also co-wrote the 2009 Notorious B.I.G. biopic Notorious. The extensive amount of crime drama TV work under Coker’s belt (including his experience from working on NCIS: Los Angeles) ought to serve him well as the showrunner on Luke Cage – a series that will examine the life of a superhero fighting street crime, similar to the other Marvel/Netflix programs.
Cheo Hodari Coker is serving as the ‘Luke Cage’ showrunner

That Coker worked on short-lived (but well-received) sci-fi buddy cop show Almost Human is all the more encouraging here, seeing as Luke Cage (like Almost Human) is seeking to combine more grounded character drama with fantastical genre elements – in this case, a world populated by metahumans with super-powers. Marvel’s Netflix shows may wind up serving as a nice compliment to the style of its big-screen features and TV shows (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Agent Carter), thanks to their emphasis on more mature genre content.



Coker, Rosenberg, and DeKnight also represent a nice diverse collection of talent – not just in terms of background, but also the showrunners themselves. One benefit of the Netflix model is the series format allows for greater artistic freedom, so fingers crossed these storytellers’ voices will come through strongly on their respective Marvel comic-based shows. The same goes for the candidate recruited to be the showrunner on the Iron Fist series (and, after that, the team-up mini-series The Defenders).


‘Luke Cage’ star Mike Colter

Daniel Rand a.k.a. Iron Fist is no stranger to Luke Cage in the Marvel comic books, so odds are the character will share the screen with Colter at some point over the course of Coker’s Netflix series. The way things are shaping up, Marvel’s Hell’s Kitchen shows will inter-connect with one another in nice and clean ways, while still including nods to the larger events on Earth in the MCU (see: the Avengers reference in the latest Daredevil trailer).


Lastly, given the speed at which these Netflix shows are coming together, one assumes Iron Fist will debut on Netflix as soon as late 2016 – with The Defenders following in the first half of 2017. It’s nice to see these Marvel series are neither (seemingly) being rushed, nor are they taking as long as Netflix head Ted Sarandos suggested they might.

Daredevil will be available for viewing on Netflix starting April 10th, 2015. A.K.A. Jessica Jones will debut later in 2015, followed by Luke Cage in 2016, and Iron Fist (most likely) in the second half of 2016.

[h=1]Rumor Patrol: ‘Luke Cage’ to Feature Cornell Cottonmouth as Villain[/h]



The successful first season of Marvel and Netflix’s Daredevil not only jump started plans for a second season, but also firmed up the streaming service’s commitment to building their street-level pocket of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We know that Jessica Jones will arrive later in 2015, with Luke Cage debuting in 2016, and Iron Fist and The Defenders still to follow.
Luke Cage will star Mike Colter as the title character (and erstwhile Power Man), who will be introduced in Jessica Jones. So far, that’s all we really know about the series. Anything else – including the assumption that, like in the comic books, Cage and Jessica Jones will be married and have a daughter – is all speculation. Now we can add one more rumor to the mix regarding a potential villain.


According to Heroic Hollywood (via CBM), a villain from the early Power Man comic books will make an appearance: the drug lord Cornell Cottonmouth. There are no additional details or source available, and we don’t know in what context the villain could appear in relation to the still-unknown nature of Luke Cage‘s overall plot, so take this with a grain of salt, as always.
There have been a couple of different villains called Cottonmouth, but the one named Cornell first appeared in Power Man #18 in 1974 as a drug dealer who crossed paths with Luke Cage – then known as Carl Lucas – when Willis Stryker (also known as the villian Diamondback) stole a shipment of Cottonmouth’s drugs, intending to frame Cage. Cornell Cottonmouth possessed super-strength rivalling that of the invulnerable Cage and a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

If Cornell Cottonmouth really does appear as a central villain, the character could also serve as a bridge between Luke Cage and Iron Fist. In later comics Cottonmouth goes to work for the villain Nightshade, and at one point the storyline sees Cage and Iron Fist pitted against each other. More likely, Cottonmouth might emerge in the Netflix series as a crime lord looking to move in on the incarcerated Kingpin’s Hell’s Kitchen territory.
So far, the only concrete plans for Marvel’s Netflix continuum revolve around Daredevil and Jessica Jones. With all the series expected to cross over at some point, we know that Charlie Cox’s Daredevil will have his hands full dealing with Jon Bernthal’s Punisher. Certain aspects of the Iron Fist comic book were teased in Daredevil season 1, but we may end up seeing some of those plot threads played out in Luke Cage. Stay tuned for more details as they emerge.
Daredevil is currently available on Netflix. Jessica Jones premieres in fall 2015, followed by Luke Cage and Daredevil season 2 in 2016.

[h=1]Marvel’s Luke Cage Netflix Series Casts Alfre Woodard in Major Role[/h]



The Marvel Cinematic Universe first extended into the realm of television with Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., then continued with the 1940s-set Agent Carter and is developing a third series along with ABC centered around S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Additionally, Marvel and Netflix announced a deal in 2013 to create its own New York City-based corer of the MCU, following The Defenders.
The first series, Daredevil, premiered earlier this year and the next, Jessica Jones, will debut on the streaming service later this fall. Marvel Comics characters Luke Cage and Iron Fist will receive their own standalone series as well before the four heroes unite as The Defenders. With Luke Cage set to premiere next year, the cast is beginning to fill out, now with a potentially major character.


Deadline is reporting that Alfre Woodard (State of Affairs, The Last Ship) is finalizing a deal to play the co-starring role of Minetta, a powerful local politician “who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life.” Additionally, it’s being reported that the character is a version of the Luke Cage and Iron Fist villain from the comics, Black Mariah.
Woodard joins the previously cast Mike Colter, who will debut as Luke Cage in Jessica Jones when the series premieres in the fall. Southland and Ray Donovan writer/producer Cheo Hodari Coker will serve as showrunner and executive producer of Luke Cage. Additionally, it was previously reported that Power Man villain Cornell Cottonmouth could appear as an antagonist on the series.
Introduced in 1973, Black Mariah was the leader of a group of New York criminals called the Rat Pack, though she didn’t have any notable powers. After a run in with Luke Cage, she turned to drug dealing, but was defeated by Iron Fist, Power Man and fellow Heroes for Hire. She has only made a handful of appearances throughout the history of the Marvel comics.
Luke Cage and Black Mariah in ‘Luke Cage, Hero For Hire Vol 1′

Based on the description of Minetta, and Black Mariah’s comic counterpart, there’s certainly a way that Luke Cage could blend the characters into a new villain – one that may resemble, at least in broad strokes, Wilson Fisk a.k.a. Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio) from Daredevil. Woodard’s Minetta could be a publicly respected politician with a hand in organized crime, similar to Fisk. The series may even pull directly from Black Mariah’s comic run and portray Minetta leading the Rat Pack or distributing a dangerous drug.
That being said, Marvel has not confirmed whether Woodard’s character will be a new version of Black Mariah, and the description of Minetta doesn’t necessarily paint her as a villain. So, Minetta may be an entirely new character, or she may be based on another recognizable name from Marvel Comics. Both Daredevil and Jessica Jones have incorporated major characters from the heroes’ comic books, so it’s more than likely Woodard will be portraying a known figure – it seems to simply be a matter of which.

[h=1]Luke Cage Gets An Unofficial Plot Summary; Main Villain Revealed?[/h]




Ever since Mike Colter was cast as Marvel hero for hire Luke Cage in the Jessica Jones Marvel Studios/Netflix series, fans have been wondering what shape the own character’s show would take. Months later, it seems that details on Luke Cage are finally beginning to creep out.
Oscar-nominated actress Alfre Woodard has joined the cast of the show in a role that could turn out to be a major villain for the upcoming Hell’s Kitchen-based Marvel series. Now, just days after that announcement, a new report may blow the lid off of the mystery surrounding Luke Cage.


According to Heroic Hollywood, the series will feature a character named Willis Stryker – better known as Diamondback – as the primary antagonist. The villain was reportedly prominently featured in the Luke Cage film script that was in development back in the mid-2000s. Former childhood friends, Luke Cage and Diamondback both fell in love with Reva Connors, who is said to be the love interest on the upcoming Netflix series. Here’s the reported synopsis for the show:
“Luke Cage is a former gang member who is framed for a crime. In prison, he volunteers for a medical experiment that goes awry, giving him super strength and bulletproof skin. Using his newfound powers, Cage escapes and becomes a hero for hire. His archenemy is Willy Stryker, a former childhood friend from Harlem. The two committed petty crimes together, and both fell for the same woman, Reva Connors, which led to their eventual falling out. It was Stryker who framed Cage for a drug deal that sent him to prison.”

Since these details have not been made official, take them with a grain of salt for now. However, having Diamondback as the primary villain fits with previous reports that Marvel villain Cottenmouth would appear, and considering that Diamondback was featured in the film script, he makes sense that he would remain a fixture in Luke Cage’s story, despite its shift from the big screen to Netflix.
Moreover, the betrayal by a close friend adds a deeper sense of personal drama to Luke Cage and instantly fleshes out his backstory, making the character even more accessible to casual viewers unfamiliar with his exploits on the comic book page. It’s easy to see how this reported premise could be turned into a superhero crime drama that would stand head-to-head with Daredevil. After all, these Netflix were always meant to represent street-level Marvel heroes. By the sounds of it, Luke Cage would fit right in.
Daredevil season one is currently available on Netflix. Jessica Jones releases in Fall 2015, followed by Luke Cage season one and Daredevil season two in 2016. Iron Fist and The Defenders will arrive sometime thereafter.

It’s hard for me to believe that they’d use a character whose name is coincidentally so similar to X-Men villain Colonel William Stryker.

Yes, I know Willis Stryker has an old history with Luke Cage, but the similarities in names are just too close, despite their non-relation in the comics.

[h=1]Luke Cage Netflix Series Official Cast & Character Details Confirmed[/h]



Marvel Television officially launched the New York City corner of its cinematic universe on Netflix earlier this year with Daredevil. The second series, Jessica Jones, will arrive on November 20th and the third, Luke Cage, is currently in production. The titular hero will be played by Mike Colter (The Good Wife) and will make his first appearance in Jessica Jones, before his series – helmed by Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland) – hits the streaming service next year.
In addition to Colter, Marvel has recently confirmed Mahershala Ali (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1) will play Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes and Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave, State of Affairs) his cousin Mariah Dillard. Now, Marvel has confirmed four other cast members for Luke Cage and offered official character details.


Though all were previously reported to be attached to the series, Marvel has confirmed the addition of Simone Missick (Ray Donovan), Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy), Frank Whaley (Ray Donovan), and Rosario Dawson (Daredevil, Sin City) to the season 1 cast. Dawson will reprise her MCU role as Claire Temple, who first appeared in Daredevil and will return for Jessica Jones later this year as well as Daredevil season 2.
As for the other actors, Missick will play a version of Marvel Comics character Misty Knight, “a Harlem police detective who is determined to learn the truth about Luke Cage.” Whaley will portray Misty’s partner Rafael Scarfe, “a hard-nosed NYPD detective.” Rossi, meanwhile, has been confirmed to play the ruthless criminal Shades, who has ties to Cage’s past.

Marvel’s newest confirmation seems to be in line with all previous reports of these actors joining the series, including the characters they will portray. Additionally, the new details offer added insight into how these characters will fit into Cage’s story. Specifically, it seems that Claire will be an ally and Shades an adversary, while Misty and Scarfe may start off the series investigating Cage, but could become his allies as well.
Unofficial plot rumors, combined with the official Marvel synopsis for the series, seem to indicate Cage’s past will come back to haunt the hero – perhaps in the form of Shades. Added to recent set photos that show Cottonmouth and Mariah together, Cage’s history with Shades may have a connection to his battle for Harlem. However, the specific details of how these characters will fit into the Luke Cage storyline remains to be seen, until we are closer to the series’ premieres next year.

[h=1]Luke Cage Set Photos: Mike Colter is a Hero for Hire[/h]



There’s just no stopping Marvel. With the Netflix premiere of Jessica Jonesthe second of four planned Marvel series for the streaming giant — just under two months away, production is already ramping up on the third series, next year’s Luke Cage­.
Starring Mike Colter as the titular “hero for hire,” Luke Cage continues the development of the MCU’s New York corner that was started earlier this year with Daredevil. Luke Cage will make his debut in November’s Jessica Jones before getting his own show, which co-stars Alfre Woodard (12 Years A Slave) as Mariah Dillard, Mahershala Ali (House of Cards) as the villainous Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes, and Rosario Dawson, who is reprising her role as Claire Temple from Daredevil. Added to this list of stars is Frankie Faison (Banshee) whose casting is confirmed thanks to a new series of set photos.


The photos (via Comingsoon.net), reveal little aside from Faison’s involvement, but that in itself is some pretty big news. We also get our first good look at the cast as they’ll appear in the series and, as ever, things are looking pretty solid. Colter appears comfortable alongside Faison. While casting information on Faison is as yet unconfirmed, readers of the comics will note the proximity of Pop’s Barber Shop in the background.
[h=2]Click Here to See the Set Photos[/h]Luke Cage is rumored to follow the character’s backstory as a man wrongfully imprisoned who undergoes a secret experiment that leaves him with bulletproof skin and super strength. Once freed, Cage attempts to lead a normal life in Harlem, before his past lures him into the spotlight as a hero for hire and a defender of the people.
While just a rumor, this closely follows the story of the character in the comics, who made his debut in 1972. The character frequently teamed up with the mystical martial arts master Iron Fist, who will be getting a series of his own on Netflix, following Luke Cage and season 2 of Daredevil. Also of note, Luke Cage is the husband of Jessica Jones in the comics, and the romance between the two has already been teased as a major plot point in Jessica Jones.

This sort of interconnectedness has been the bread and butter of the MCU since its inception, with each new release adding to and deepening the overall mythos of the franchise. Like the movies, the four Netflix series will culminate in a crossover event, The Defenders, which will feature all four heroes teaming up against a singular powerful foe. It’s a formula that has worked wonders with The Avengers and Netflix hopes to continue the trend.
If the success of Daredevil is any indication, Netflix need not worry about their plans for the MCU. The series broke records when it debuted last spring, and excitement for both its second season and for Jessica Jones are already at a fever pitch. The anticipation shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon, further cementing the marriage between Netflix and Marvel Studios.
Daredevil’s season 1 is currently available to stream on Netflix and Jessica Jones premieres November 20. Luke Cage and Daredevil season 2 are scheduled for release in 2016, followed by Iron Fist, and the crossover The Defenders at a later date.

[h=1]Marvel’s Luke Cage: Mike Colter Discusses the Timeline & Setting[/h]



Marvel unveiled the first episode of Jessica Jones – featuring Krysten Ritter as its namesake and Mike Colter (The Good Wife) as Luke Cage – at New York Comic-Con 2015, generating loads of positive buzz for the upcoming Netflix series ahead of its November debut. Colter’s Luke Cage will later headline his own Marvel/Netflix series in 2016, with production on the show currently ongoing under the supervision of the series’ creator and showrunner, Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland, Ray Donovan).
Jessica Jones will include other characters who may play a role in the Luke Cage narrative proceedings – in particular, Carrie-Anne Moss as Jeryn Hogarth, the attorney and manager for the Heroes for Hire business that Cage eventually sets up with Iron Fist (whose own Netflix series is expected to premiere later in 2016). However, that might not happen until closer to end of Luke Cage season 1, as Colter has confirmed that the title character will be “laying low” when the series begins.


Colter, when he spoke to ComicBook at NYCC 205, revealed the following about the timeline for Luke Cage:
“I can tell you what they’ve allowed me to, which is basically, Luke Cage will take place a few months after Jessica Jones. So in real time, if you watch Jessica Jones, you’ll find [at the end] Luke Cage uptown in Harlem, working, trying to make ends meet. Luke Cage really hasn’t figured out what he’s doing. He’s tending bar, he’s bouncing around. And for good reason, he’s a fugitive, he has some skeletons in his closet.”
Cage isn’t able to maintain a low profile for long though, as Colter confirmed he soon hears the call to be a superhero:
“He’s trying to basically stay off the radar. The people he hangs around with, though, are in need. Ultimately, he’d rather be alone, but with the way he’s equipped he does step up. That’s what it’s about, it’s about finding that inner feeling to make you want to take action. Sometimes we just sit around, and sit on our hands and don’t do anything because it’s like ‘hey, that’s not my problem.’ You can’t do that when you’re a superhero. You have these gifts, now use them.”
It appears as though Jessica Jones season 1, like Daredevil before it, will jump right into the main plot of the series; later using flashbacks (and other storytelling devices) to fill in viewers on its protagonist’s backstory along the way. Luke Cage will have the advantage of the Cage character having already been established after Jessica Jones. However, it sounds like Coker’s show will be structured so newcomers can also jump right onboard – showing Cage in his current predicament (trying to not attract attention) and then later exploring other key details (how Cage got his super-powers, his troubled past, and so forth).
Mike Colter as Luke Cage in Jessica Jones

Previously-relased official Luke Cage character descriptions indicated the show will take place primarily in the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Harlem – something that Coulter briefly touched on during his CB interview:
“So I can say you’ll find him uptown in Harlem, and in a completely different world from Hell’s Kitchen.”
The MCU’s Harlem, you may recall, suffered a good deal of damage from the Hulk/Abomination fight that happened there in The Incredible Hulk. It’s plausible that event will be referenced in some fashion during the Luke Cage TV series. Much like how the Battle of New York was said to have affected Hell’s Kitchen’s real estate market in Daredevil, perhaps the events of Incredible Hulk contributed to criminal mastermind Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes (Mahershala Ali) having gained even more power in Harlem during the aftermath. There might also be lingering anti-superhero sentiment in Harlem, fanned by the local politicians (Alfre Woodard’s Mariah Dillard, perhaps?).
It could be that Harlem, unlike Hell’s Kitchen, has a decidedly more anti-hero atmosphere in general; that, in turn, could be another reason why Cage is so cautious about stepping out as a crime-fighter to begin with. Still, Cage won’t be alone once he does decide to take up the fight, what with characters like Rosario Dawson’s nurse Claire Temple due to make an appearance on Luke Cage season 1 (after her roles on Daredevil and Jessica Jones season 1).

eason 1 is currently available on Netflix. Jessica Jones will be made available starting November 20th, 2015, followed by Luke Cage Season 1 and Daredevil Season 2 (a.k.a. Daredevil V Punisher) in 2016. Iron Fist and The Defenders will arrive sometime thereafter.

[h=1]Luke Cage Season 1 Aiming For Late Summer Premiere on Netflix?[/h]




Luke Cage is the next Marvel TV series that’s slated to debut on Netflix, following in the footsteps of Daredevil and Jessica Jones before it. The former, which features Mike Colter reprising his Jessica Jones role as the man armed with bulletproof skin and super strength, is a street-level superhero drama that will embrace the mature tone of its predecessors – at the same time, shifting the action to the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of Harlem (instead of Hell’s Kitchen a la Daredevil and Jessica Jones), a few months after Jessica Jones’ showdown with the villainous Kilgrave (David Tennant) led to Luke quietly skipping town in the immediate aftermath.
Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland, Ray Donovan) began production on the Luge Cage series back in September of 2015 – and a recent Jessica Jones promo indicated that the show’s first season may become available on Netflix this November. However, a fresh report on the matter suggests that Luke Cage season 1 could be aiming for an earlier summer premiere date on Netflix, rather than a fall date in the vein of Jessica Jones season 1.


This update comes from Blackfilm, citing a “trusted source” that says Luke Cage may arrive as soon as late summer 2016. While Daredevil and Jessica Jones season 1 premiered closer than the 8-15 months separation period that Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos originally estimated for the Marvel TV series, the pair were still released about 7 months apart. Daredevil season 2 is scheduled to debut on Netflix on March 18th, 2016, but it’s not out of the question that Luke Cage season 1 may well launch before mid-to-late October (i.e. seven months after Daredevil season 2) – especially seeing as Marvel appears to be increasing its Netflix show output, having ordered Jessica Jones season 2 and reportedly begun exploring the possibility of a Punisher series spinoff for Daredevil season 2.

A late summer debut for Luke Cage does (arguably) make sense, when you step back and examine the 2016 release slate for the MCU as a whole. Daredevil season 2 will debut on Netflix in March of 2016, followed by Captain America: Civil War in theaters less than two months later and then Doctor Strange on the big screen in November this year. That leaves a space in late summer and/or early fall that Luke Cage could fill in nicely, ensuring that a new installment in the MCU (either a movie or TV show) will be launched in each quarter of 2016. On the other hand, though Marvel Studios films and TV series share the same continuity, they do not always coordinate their rollout schedules accordingly – meaning, it is perhaps just as possible that Luke Cage will arrive shortly after Doctor Strange hits theaters, especially as their respective storylines should be far removed from one another.
On that note: in addition to Colter, Luke Cage will also feature the return of Rosario Dawson as Hell’s Kitchen nurse Claire Temple, while other cast members include Mahershala Ali (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 & 2) as the villainous Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes and Alfre Woodard (12 Years a Slave) as his cousin, Mariah Dillard. It remains to be seen if any other familiar faces from Marvel Netflix TV shows past will appear on Luke Cage season 1, but there are certain characters who should play an important role in Luke’s future in the MCU – some of whom were have already met (see: Jessica Jones, Jeryn Hogarth), while others have yet to made their debut in the MCU, but will soon (Daniel Rand/Iron Fist).


Daredevil
season 1 and Jessica Jones season 1 are now available on Netflix. Daredevil season 2 will debut on Netflix on March 18th, 2016, followed by Luke Cage season 1 later in 2016. Release dates for Iron Fist and The Defenders on Netflix have not yet been announced. Screen Rant will keep you updated on the Punisher spinoff as development continues.

[h=1]Luke Cage: Mike Colter Discusses the Show’s ‘Distinct’ Modern Voice[/h]




Following the success of Netflix’s ventures into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with Daredevil and Jessica Jones, the upcoming Luke Cage already has fans primed with anticipation. Netflix have delivered a somewhat grittier treatment of their Hell’s Kitchen superheroes in comparison to their flashier Avengers counterparts, grounding these characters with the harsher realities of a crime fighting existence – and tackling real world issues such as sexual abuse and political corruption.
Audiences have already been introduced to Luke Cage (Mike Colter) through the lens of his tough cookie comrade Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), but his solo series will give him a new platform to expand from – exploring his origin story and greater personal motivations, in the process. Colter has shared his take on his complex role, his responsibility to the significant existing fan base, and how the story relates to this modernized setting.
Marvel has posted an interview with Colter where he reflects on Jessica Jones season 1, but also looks ahead to the future with Luke Cage – not just what he hopes to bring to the role on the series, but the greater cultural impact he hopes the show can achieve as a reflection of modern society:
“I think what I’m excited about is the chance for fans to see this character that they’ve been waiting for. I’ve met so many fans along the way, over the past few months, over the past year, and their excitement has kind of been intoxicating. It spreads, and it’s one of those things that before I started the project, I felt like I really wanted to do this character justice and I would enjoying playing this character and trying to figure out who he was, but now, I feel [a weight] in a sense that the fans have so many thoughts and expectations.
“I don’t think they’re going to get everything that they want, but I think our vision is very clear of what a modern-day version of Luke Cage is in 2016 and it’s not the version, obviously, from 1972, but it’s very timely. He’s very current and I think he’s got a very clear, distinct voice for the modern generation. That’s what I’m most excited about, how they connect and jibe with what he feels. And hopefully, he can represent a lot of what they’re anticipating to be current topics and what they want to explore.”
ows Distinct Modern Voice' alt='luke cage mike colter setting timeline Luke Cage: Mike Colter Discusses the Shows Distinct Modern Voice' src="http://static.srcdn.com/slir/w786-h393-q90-c786:393/wp-content/uploads/luke-cage-mike-colter-setting-timeline.jpg">

The actor also discussed what he hopes to bring to the role of Luke Cage, now that he’s stepping into the spotlight on his own series:
“I think what I am specifically and uniquely able to bring to this character is the fact that I do look through the world with a global lens and I don’t really think about everything as black and white. When I approach this work, I look at it from the responsibility of an actor who’s trying to bring the nuanced character to form and what I think that makes it unique is the character is black but at the same time, that doesn’t define who he is. When he is thrust into the main stage, he’s not really ready for that.
“Everybody knows Luke’s a reluctant hero at best, because he’s got a lot of secrets and stuff, but I think he’s a renaissance man. He becomes better at everything as time goes on and better at being a man and better at being a super hero and taking on that responsibility.”
Luke Cage‘s Blaxploitation origins need not be a primary focus of the character in today’s world, but as an African American superhero, there is a probably a responsibility felt by the creators to explore how the character will inevitably be affected by the inequalities that do still exist today. Cage’s origin story involves exploitation by law enforcement, which is a timely reference to current issues and events that would be out of character for Netflix to ignore – with their reputation of fearlessly exploring difficult and challenging subject matter. Recent set photos certainly hint that this could be the case.
Sociopolitical elements aside, Colter’s insightful views towards Luke Cage are a positive sign that the TV show will portray another intricate and complicated superhero with a thought-provoking story arc. That’s everything we are all hoping the upcoming Netflix series and its showrunner, Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland, Ray Donovan) will deliver, along with the introduction of even more interesting Marvel comic book characters who are new to the small screen.


Joining Mike Colter in the Luke Cage cast are Mahershala Ali (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 & 2), Alfre Woodard (12 Years A Slave), Simone Missick (Ray Donovan), Theo Rossi (Sons Of Anarchy) and Frank Whaley (Ray Donovan). Rosario Dawson will also be reprising her role as Claire Temple from both Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Daredevil season 1 and Jessica Jones season 1 are currently available on Netflix. Daredevil season 2 will debut on Netflix on March 18th, 2016, followed by Luke Cage season 1 later in 2016. Release dates for Iron Fist and The Defenders on Netflix have not yet been announced. Screen Rant will keep you updated on the Punisher spinoff as development continues.

[h=1]Luke Cage Season 1 Gets a September Premiere Date[/h]


https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=n6mEziDD0h4

Mike Colter made his debut as Luke “Power Man” Cage in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in season 1 of the Marvel/Netflix series Jessica Jones; there, he formed a (tumultuous) relationship with Miss Jones (Krysten Ritter) and ultimately decided to leave Hell’s Kitchen in his rearview mirror for now, his future destination unknown. Colter, for his part, has confirmed that the forthcoming Luke Cage season 1 picks up a few months after the events of Jessica Jones‘ freshman season, with Mike having found his way to the MCU version of Harlem: a place that is as heavily plagued by crime and super-villains as Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Jessica Jones’ home turf of Hell’s Kitchen, it would seem.
Marvel’s Daredevil season 2 will premiere on Netflix in a week (at the time of writing this), but there’s been some back and forth about the premiere date for Luke Cage season 1 – with the Jessica Jones Twitter account having previously hinted at a November 2016 date, while subsequent rumors suggested Luke Cage season 1 could arrive as soon as this summer, instead. Well, now we have an official date for the premiere and it falls in-between those two previously-reported possibilities.


Colter revealed that Luke Cage season 1 will be available for streaming on Netflix starting September 30th, 2016, while he was in attendance for the NYC Daredevil season 2 premiere/press event. The series, which was created by showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland, Ray Donovan), will also costar Mahershala Ali (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 & 2) as the villainous Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes, Alfre Woodard (State of Affairs) as Stokes’ cousin Mariah Dillard, and Simone Missick (Ray Donovan, Scandal) as Missy a.k.a. bionic-armed vigilante Misty Knight from Marvel Comics. Colter has further promised that Luke Cage season 1 will be “action-packed from the beginning to the very end,” as you can see by watching the below video.
Beautiful people, fighting, & BREAKING NEWS! Have a look at last night's NYC premiere for @Marvel's #Daredevil.https://t.co/NvHhd7SKAk
— Daredevil (@Daredevil) March 11, 2016
Luke Cage, similar to the Daredevil and Jessica Jones Marvel/Netflix series before it, is expected to embrace a darker and more adult tone relative to other MCU movies and TV series alike – at the same time, grappling with timely subject matter (think issues like #BlackLivesMatter ), bringing to mind how Daredevil season 1 looked at gentrification, Jessica Jones season 1 tackled rape culture, and Daredevil season 2 will examine gun violence. There’s little reason to doubt Colter’s claim that Luke Cage season 1 will also be “action-packed” (in addition to being thought-provoking), given both the nature of the show’s comic book source material and Coker’s own experience developing quality (and gritty) crime drama/thriller genre on television. Not to mention, Luke Cage season 1 should help pave the way for the eventual Iron Fist season 1 too, seeing as Luke Cage and Daniel Rand/Iron Fist (who will be played by Finn Jones in the MCU) are expected to go on to form their Heroes for Hire business in a future Marvel/Netflix series (just like they did in the world of Marvel Comics).
In short: between all that and more on the horizon (see also Jessica Jones season 2 and the eventual Defenders crossover mini-series), it’s a good time to be a fan of the Netflix corner of the MCU.

[h=1]Luke Cage Won’t Be ‘Locked Into’ Hell’s Kitchen[/h]



Marvel recently revealed that its third Netflix series, Luke Cage, will premiere in September. Although there’s been relatively little information revealed so far, fans have been excited for the series long before its release date was announced. And while the Netflix-Marvel Hype Train has been focused primarily on Daredevil season 2, that doesn’t mean there isn’t room to discuss Cage’s upcoming show. In fact, while at the recent Daredevil season premiere event, Marvel Entertainment’s chief creative officer, Joe Quesada took a moment to discuss not only Luke Cage, but also the upcoming Iron Fist.
Quesada was asked whether Iron Fist would have a lighter or more magical tone than Daredevil or Jessica Jones. Without revealing too much, the CCO explained the shows all take place in the same world, but they offer different perspectives (which one could assume will result in a different tone). He also used the question as an opportunity to shift the focus a bit more toward Luke Cage, since it’s Marvel’s next Netflix show after Daredevil‘s new season:
“It still takes place in the same world. I think the Danny Rand character himself will have a different perspective on the world than some of the characters that you’re seeing now — as will Luke Cage. I mean you guys haven’t seen that show yet, either.”



Speaking with Decider, Quesada also said Luke Cage wasn’t going to take place in Hell’s Kitchen, like Daredevil and Jessica Jones. Early reports suggested Cage would take on street gangs and drug dealers in Harlem, but it was unknown how much of the season would be comprised of that, and whether or not the character would return to Hell’s Kitchen at any point. Based on what Quesada said, it’s unlikely we’ll see much of Matt Murdock’s stomping grounds at all:
“Oh no, it will be a different side of Manhattan. We’re not just locking ourselves into Hell’s Kitchen — although a lot of stuff does go on in Hell’s Kitchen. Luke Cage’s world is still New York, but it’s a different neighborhood. Again, I don’t want to reveal too much more than that, but the show itself will have a different palate, a different feel, a tone. It will sound different. So stay tuned.”
Quesada also dropped a hint that the shows are starting to do more world-building for the Defenders team-up miniseries, which should reassure fans who were worried by rumors that Defenders had been canceled. It’s also possible the miniseries will be a bit bigger in scope than previously thought:
“All roads lead to Defenders here, so seeing this stuff come together…seeing The Punisher and Elektra appear [in Daredevil Season 2]…I’m really, really anxious to see Daredevil premiere and to see fans’ reactions to both Jon [Bernthal] and Elodie [Yung]’s portrayals of the characters.”
Of course, as Marvel’s CCO, it’s part of Quesada’s job to be excited about the new stuff the studio is working on. If Luke Cage and Iron Fist (and Daredevil season 2) are setting up Defenders, though, there might be a reason to be excited. Both Daredevil and Jessica Jones seemed like they were focused more on establishing the Netflix corner of the MCU than working up to the crossover, so it’s possible we’ll see much more connection in the stories moving forward as they build toward something big. It will also be interesting to see how Marvel fleshes out other parts of New York beyond what we’ve seen in Hell’s Kitchen and the MCU movies.

[h=1]Luke Cage Showrunner Reveals First 3 Episode Titles[/h]



Netflix has been making a lot of fans happy lately, with a quality lineup of original series based off of Marvel comics properties. We’ve already gotten two seasons of Daredevil, the most recent of which introduced us to Frank Castle a.k.a. The Punisher whose own show is currently in development. We also followed Jessica Jones, who crossed paths more than once with the indestructible Luke Cage. Cage’s own series will drop onto Netflix in its entirety on September 30th. It’s promised to be one of the most unique, being compared to The Wire by writer and showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker (Notorious) for its far reach into the many facets of the criminal world.
Despite numerous hints at the direction of the series through interviews, and a killer new Comic-Con trailer, we still only have an inkling of an idea of the direction Luke Cage will take. Will it be an entirely personal story? Will much of the series be told in flashbacks? Will Cage’s relationship with Jessica Jones play into the story? Will we get hints of his friendship with his comic book bestie Danny Rand from the upcoming Iron Fist? Will Cage’s story, in any way, lead directly into The Defenders team up?
In a recent Tweet, Coker gave us just a little bit more to go off of, when he revealed the titles of the first three chapters of the new series:
#LukeCage . One "Moment of Truth." Two: "Code of The Streets". Three: "Who's Gonna Take The Weight?
— Cheo Hodari Coker (@cheo_coker) July 29, 2016
Look for new titles every Friday until SWEET September 30th.
— Cheo Hodari Coker (@cheo_coker) July 29, 2016
Coker previously revealed that every episode of Luke Cage season 1 would be named after a Gang Starr tune and thus far, that has proven to be the case. “Moment of Truth”, for example, is the name of the hip-hop group’s fifth album (which was released in 1998). “Code of the Streets” was a track on Gang Starr’s 1994 album Hard to Earn and “Who’s Gonna Take the Weight?” is from their 1991 album, Step in the Arena.
With only two months to go before Luke Cage is unleashed on the world, we won’t have to wait too long to see what Coker’s titles are hinting at. In the meantime, it sounds like we’ll have a steady stream of new bread crumbs to nibble on.

[h=1]Marvel’s Luke Cage Poster; New Trailer Arrives Tomorrow[/h]




Marvel’s Luke Cage is the next addition to the growing Marvel/Netflix TV show lineup and features Mike Colter back in the title role, following his debut as the character on Jessica Jones season 1 last year. The Luke Cage series picks up a few months after the events of Jessica Jones‘ freshman season, with Cage having left Hell’s Kitchen for Harlem in the hopes of starting afresh. Of course, when you’re a bullet-proof man with a soft spot for helping others, you can only stay out of trouble for so long.
Luke Cage features Cheo Hodari Coker (a writer/producer who has worked on series like Southland and Ray Donovan in the past) as showrunner, with a cast that includes Mahershala Ali (House of Cards) as Harlem crime boss Cornell Stokes/Cottonmouth and Simone Missick (Wayward Pines) as noble police officer Mercedes “Misty” Knight. The first Luke Cage teaser trailer offers a quick glimpse at Cottomouth in particular, but primarily focuses on Luke Cage doing what the future members of Marvel’s The Defenders do best: beating up bad guys in hallways.
Marvel/Netflix has now unveiled an official poster for Luke Cage and revealed that a new trailer for the series will arrive tomorrow (Tuesday, August 9th, at the time of writing this). You can check out the one-sheet with Colter in character as the “Power Man”, below.



Similar to Marvel/Netflix series past, Luke Cage will embrace a grittier and more adult tone as it explores the life of yet another New York-based vigilante who has “their feet firmly planted on the ground” (as the official Marvel/Netflix press release for the Luke Cage poster puts it). Where Daredevil seasons 1 and 2 effectively blend mob drama with martial arts super-heroics and Jessica Jones season 1 unfolds as a taut psychological thriller with a neo-Noir steak, the Luke Cage series is shaping up to be more of a pure crime drama set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe – one that has a distinct hip-hop influence, too.
Coker has made it no secret that Luke Cage will wear its black superhero identity on its sleeve, with every season 1 episode being named after a Gang Starr song and leaked set photos showing Cage (dressed in a hoodie) crossing paths with cops in what comes off as being a clear shout-out to the Black Lives Matter movement. That’s all the more appropriate too, seeing as the Luke Cage comic book property has always been a politically-charged one, going back to the character’s roots in the Blaxploitation cinema of the 1970s. If everything works out, then Coker’s comparison of Luke Cage being “The Wire of Marvel television” may well prove to be all the more accurate, in the best way possible.

[h=1]Luke Cage Premiere Early Reviews: Another Hit for Marvel & Netflix[/h]



Though Marvel has mainly been known for its billion-dollar cinematic efforts, the studio’s recent foray into television via Netflix has left fans stunned–in a good way. Last year, the streaming conglomerate debuted Daredevil and Jessica Jones to much fanfare, including several Emmy nominations for both and a Peabody award for Jessica Jones. The shows, set in modern-day Hell’s Kitchen, have featured some notable crossover moments, so all fans of Marvel’s Power Man comics were at attention when Jessica Jones introduced the character Luke Cage. Finally, earlier this year, Marvel announced that a Luke Cage spinoff series would debut this fall.
When we last saw Luke Cage in Jessica Jones, he was recovering from an explosion with the aid of Claire Temple, a Daredevil regular. The gruff bartender, played by Mike Colter, has bulletproof skin, super-strength, and a history with Jessica Jones, though the hero’s solo series follows him as he tries to go incognito in Harlem, months after the events of Jessica Jones. When Netflix released the show’s first official trailer last month – featuring thrilling fight scenes, a peek at the hero’s backstory, and beautiful portrayals of Harlem – fans became even more hyped about the impending show. According to early reviews published today, it looks like they have every right to be.


Though Luke Cage doesn’t hit Netflix until later this month, we’ve compiled excerpts from early reviews of the show for your reading pleasure. Don’t worry, these snippets and their accompanying reviews are all SPOILER FREE. If you want to check out the full reviews, we’ve included links to each, along with the below excerpts.



Den of Geek!— Mike Cecchini
Oh, and the tunes! The glorious tunes! This probably shouldn’t be a surprise considering that showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker wrote for Rolling Stone, Vibe, The Source, and XXL, but music plays the most active role in a superhero production since Guardians of the Galaxy. The show’s mix of rap, R&B gems, and deep blues cuts is tremendous (John Lee Hooker’s I’m Bad Like Jesse James is quietly used to extraordinary effect in one scene). Equally impressive is the original score by Adrian Younge (the Black Dynamite soundtrack) and A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali Shaheed Muhammad, which adds a perfect veneer of 70s style to the proceedings.
Comics Beat— Kyle Pinion


One of the best aspects of each of Marvel’s Netflix offerings is the richness of their villains, as both Fisk and Kilgrave proved to be menacing and mostly multi-faceted creations that blow away their big screen counterparts, save for Loki. But again, both The Kingpin and The Purple Man are well-crafted characters that have much to draw from, regardless of how exceptional both D’Onofrio and David Tennant’s performances were. So when I say that Mahershala Ali’s Stokes is easily their equal, if not even more richly defined, that achievement is a both a credit to what’s on the script page and just what sort of meditative ferocity Ali is able to conjure behind this figure, who is at once terrifying and incredibly sympathetic. This is a character so rich that, while being the clear antagonist of the series’ machinations, one can’t help but be amazed at the moral gray tones that he’s swathed in.
Heroic Hollywood — Andy Behbakht
If I were to describe Luke Cage with just one word: it would be soul. Not just the character of Luke, but the show itself with all of its characters, the story that it is telling and more. There is a lot of great and fun action because let’s face it, when you are dealing with a superhero who is unbreakable and super-strong, you are in for a treat. The tone of the series also do fit in quite nicely within the MCU, while being able to stand on its own, but again, definitely matches this big world that Marvel Studios has built.
Collider — Allison Keene


Like we saw glimpses of in Jessica Jones, [Mike Colter] gives Cage a sense of reticence mixed with righteous defiance that hits all the right notes for a hero who uses his strength only as a last resort, and he does so in low tones and with a casual confidence. Though Cage isn’t always confident, he’s extremely principled with a magnetic charisma, making him a kind of Captain America to this ragtag group of vigilantes. Though he may struggle to define his heroism and what it means for himself and Harlem, there are no complications for viewers. He is the hero we’ve been waiting for.



According to critics, this show is groundbreaking in every way, from its much-needed representations of race to its reverent use of sound. Each review praises the show’s ability to balance violence with levity, and notes that the show is considerably less gritty than its counterparts, in a good way. Introducing Harlem as a new setting adds a much-needed fresh environment to the MCU TV canon, and apparently it’s been done impeccably. Harlem is iconic in its own right, yet introducing Cage’s story in the upper Manhattan neighborhood amplifies his story, rather than overshadowing it.
Critics and viewers alike have noted the importance of a hero like Luke Cage today, when police shootings are a constant feature in the news. As a bulletproof black man, Cage represents something bigger than just a hero, yet the series allows him to be a complicated, multifaceted person. Fans can also expect more appearances by the much-beloved Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), as well as intriguing villains and a love interest who’s more than just a love interest. On all fronts, it seems Luke Cage will set a new standard for superhero storytelling — but, of course, we still have to wait and see what other fans think.
Daredevil season 1 & 2 and Jessica Jones season 1 are now available on Netflix. Luke Cage season 1 will arrive on September 30th, 2016. The Defenders and Iron Fist arrive in 2017. Release dates for Jessica Jones season 2, The Punisher and Daredevil season 3 have not yet been announced.

[h=1]Luke Cage: Simone Missick Explains Misty Knight’s ‘Superpower’[/h]



Netflix’s September launch of Luke Cage is fast approaching. The bulletproof superhero and Hero for Hire is set to be the third in Marvel and Netflix’s street-level superhero series, with Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland) serving as the showrunner and Mike Colter returning as the titular hero following his first appearance on Jessica Jones season 1. Both the Daredevil and Jessica Jones series have so far been well received, with two more – Iron Fist and a team-up Defenders mini-series – on the way next year.
Luke Cage will also feature the appearance of another important Marvel Comics character: Misty Knight, who is being played by Simone Missick. In the comics, Misty is a police detective turned private eye with a cybernetic arm and tremendous fighting skills. She teams up with Colleen Wing (who will be appearing in Iron Fist) to form the Daughters of the Dragon.
Spotted by CBR, Missick discussed her role on Luke Cage on Hallmark Channel with Mark Steines and Debbie Matenopoulos. Most notably, she shared what she saw as her character’s personal superpowers:
“She is bad… badass… She’s a detective in Harlem… Homebred and she really is passionate about her community and passionate about the people who live there. She was an athlete growing up, so you see a strong woman, not only mentally but physically. She also has this amazing superpower called Misty-vision, that she uses as a detective. She has the ability to look at a crime scene and figure out what happened, so she’s got this amazing clearance rate.”



While some comic fans may argue the merits of keen detective skills and athleticism as “superpowers,” it is worth noting that these qualities defined Misty as a hero before her tragic accident necessitated a Stark-tech cyborg arm. It’s unsure whether the Netflix series will ever show this character development, though fans will certainly be keeping their fingers crossed for a Daughters of the Dragon team-up series at some point in the future.
Missick also noted that the show would be leaning into controversy, rather than away from it. Seen in the trailer, Luke Cage’s hoodie was chosen specifically to highlight the fact that “just because a person has on a piece of clothing and is of color, doesn’t mean they’re a bad person.”


Daredevil
season 1 & 2 and Jessica Jones season 1 are now available on Netflix. Luke Cage season 1 will arrive on September 30th, 2016. The Defenders and Iron Fist arrive in 2017. Release dates for Jessica Jones season 2, The Punisher and Daredevil season 3 have not yet been announced.
