With little over a month to go until the show’s long-anticipated premiere, Luke Cage has muscled its way onto the cover of SFX Magazine – bursting clean through a plastered wall without so much of a scratch.
Taking point as Marvel’s Power Man is Mike Colter, who will already be familiar to those who binge-watched the inaugural season of Jessica Jones late last year. It was there that Netflix subscribers became accustomed to Luke Cage as a reluctant hero, but come September 30, we’ll see Colter’s Hero for Hire in his native neighborhood of Harlem.
As for this latest issue of SFX, the outlet promises a host of cast interviews along with a full set report, meaning that fans will have plenty to pour over as they wait for next month’s premiere.
On board opposite Mike Colter are Simone Missick as Misty Knight, Frank Whaley as Rafael Scarfe, Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth, Theo Rossi as Shades, Alfre Woodard as Mariah Dillard and Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple.
Come September 30, Luke Cage will burst onto Netflix and you can have a gander at the latest trailer here to whet your appetite – if you haven’t already.
After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city – forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury.
