Mike Colter is Luke Cage. He was born for this role. He will die in this role. He’s found his typecast and as long as Marvel can stay afloat (forever with the help of Disney), Colter will be employed.
Netflix has spearheaded much of the best work to come out of Marvel in the last three years. Jessica Jones and Daredevil are some of the best series to come out in the last two years. Not in the genre. In the larger scale of all things that have been done in the last two years, Jessica Jones and Daredevil are sky-high on that list.
We could waste time going over Luke Cage’s characterization. Where Mike Colter come from. And why the subtle nuances in the newly released trailer are so important to what will inevitably be another hit series. But instead I’m just gonna let you watch it. It’s visually appealing. People like anything with Wu Tang Clan referenced whether they know it or not. You’re gonna watch it. And you’re gonna like it.
Bring it. #LukeCagehttps://t.co/J04pZrEGPQ
