4) Luke Cage
When’s it out? Finally, a specific date! Luke Cage will arrive on Netflix on September 30th.
Who’s involved? Mike Coulter will reprise his Jessica Jones role as the man with unbreakable skin. Joining him are Simone Missick, Alfre Woodard and Mahershala Ali. NCIS’ Cheo Hodari Coker is the showrunner.
[zergpaid]What’s it about? After an experiment goes wrong and gives him special abilities, Luke Cage tries to rebuild his life in Harlem – and fight a battle for the future of his city. As opposed to JJ’s neo-noir feel, Luke Cage has been described as “The Wire of Marvel television.”
Verdict: Mike Coulter made a fantastic debut as Luke ‘Power Man’ Cage in JJ, so we eagerly await the arrival of his own solo show. Seeing this long-running Marvel character finally getting his own gig is exciting enough, but the success of previous Netflix/Marvel collaborations has us even more pumped.
