Luke Cage, one of the many heroes of Marvel, had been cast.
Mike Colter will officially play Cage in the new Marvel show AKA Jessica Jones on Netflix, according to IGN. Colter had been in shows including The Good Wife and Halo: Nightfall, among others. The character of Luke Cage will come on AKA Jessica Jones before he gets his own Netflix show.
“Mike embodies the strength, edge, and depth of Luke Cage,” Melissa Rosenberg, the show’s Executive Producer and showrunner, explained in a Marvel news post. “We’re excited to have him bring this iconic Marvel character to life.”
Jones, played by Krysten Ritter, is a former superhero who becomes a detective and becomes involved in cases that include those with powers, according to Marvel. Taking place in New York City, she comes across Cage, who has his own secrets that will affect Jones.
IGN also reported that AKA Jessica Jones will air after another Marvel show on Netflix, Daredevil. Along with Cage and another character known as Iron Fist, these characters will come together for a planned series called The Defenders.
