Luke Cage has some unfinished enterprise. At the least, that’s what Cage’s actor Mike Colter mentioned in regards to the character he performed within the Netflix collection Luke Cage. Throughout two seasons, Cage established himself because the superman of Harlem, a wrongfully-convicted man who gained tremendous power and invulnerability resulting from jail experiments. He was final seen alongside not simply the Iron Fist Danny Rand, Cage’s associate within the comics, but in addition with Jessica Jones and Matt Murdock a.okay.a. Daredevil. Now Murdock has come to the MCU with Daredevil: Born Once more, which can welcome again Jessica Jones in its second season.
Is Cage far behind? Colter isn’t saying for certain. “I’ve had conversations and I’ll depart it at that,” he slyly admitted whereas visiting Shawn Stockman’s On That Notice. “Daredevil’s again. Jessica’s again. We’re in a greater place to see this come into fruition sooner than we predict.” Which isn’t a robust “sure.” However that isn’t a “no” both.
Whereas a lot of the dialog with Stockman focuses on music—which is, in spite of everything, the subject of his present—he and Colter can not assist however categorical their love of Luke Cage a.okay.a. Powerman, one of the vital outstanding Black superheroes in comics. Created by Archie Goodwin, George Tuska, Roy Thomas, and John Romita Sr., Cage first appeared in 1972’s Luke Cage, Hero for Rent #1.
In the identical manner that Iron Fist and Shang-Chi sought to leap on the martial arts craze and Blade and Werewolf By Evening wished to seize a few of the horror buzz, Cage was created to reap the benefits of a bigger curiosity in Blaxploitation movies, and his earliest appearances matched the tone of Shaft and Superfly, albeit in an all-ages comedian guide tone. Nevertheless, Cage actually discovered his footing when being paired with Iron Fist for style heavy adventures, which continued to outline the character even when he was elevated to Avengers standing within the mid-2000s by author Brian Michael Bendis.
