Mike Colter will make his Marvel debut as Luke Cage alongside
Krysten Ritter on AKA Jessica Jones before he jumps to his own standalone Netflix
series. IGN recently caught up with the actor, who compared the tone of Luke Cage
to the one brought to the first series in the Marvel/Netflix partnership, Daredevil.
"It's geared towards an adult audience, which
is something that will be different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe that
you've seen before on the big screen. I'm excited about playing the
character because I've read the comic books. They're very detailed, gritty; the
world they've written in the comic books is very clear. Marvel does a fantastic
job about bringing human stories – because you're telling big stories with a
heart at the centre of it – and that's what connects all of the characters to
our audience members. Audience members have to feel connected with these
characters, to make them relate to the character's situations and that's what
you see with all of the Marvel characters."
Even with an expected premiere
date of 2016, Luke Cage's production hasn't begun yet, regardless Colter seems
excited with what he has already seen.
"What I’m most excited about is touching on what makes him tick. It
feels good to get a character that has such a story, background, and history.
And when I look at the scripts, I’m really pleased with it because it’s a
slow-burn; there’s nothing happening really fast that gets ahead of itself. I’m
really with where they’re taking it and how they’re developing the characters,
because it’s really cool."
