With the second
season of Daredevil already in production, and Jessica Jones just months away
from being launched, Netflix is already thinking about the follow up superhero,
Luke Cage, who will be played Mike Colter (The Following).
The Hero for Hire will
make his debut in Jessica Jones before jumping to his standalone series, which
according to Deadline will also star the multiple award-winning actress Alfre
Woodard in a key role. Woodard will play "Minetta, a powerful woman
in local politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life."
As far as I know, Minetta
is not a character from the comics, and that seems to support what the trade
says when they report that she could be a version of Black Mariah, a "professional
criminal and drug dealer" from the Luke Cage and Iron Fist comic book pages.
No release date for
Luke Cage has yet been set, but I will assume it will premiere sometime in
2016.
