Luke Cage Gets Tough in First Trailer for New Marvel Netflix Show

The first full trailer for Luke Cage is here. The latest collaboration between Marvel and Netflix arrives at the end of September, and stars Mike Colter as the bullet-proof hero fighting for justice on the mean streets of Harlem. Check the trailer out below:

The character first appeared in a supporting role in last year's Marvel/Netflix show Jessica Jones. Luke Cage also features Mahershala Ali, Alfre Woodard, Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, and Frank Whaley.

In a recent interview with Collider, Colter spoke about playing this reluctant superhero. "He's a guy that has been thrust into a place that he doesn't really want to be," he said. "He's a guy who's been endowed with abilities, as they say. To him, it's not positive. At least he doesn't see it that way. He doesn't want any part of this.

"But ultimately, it's something that he's going to have to deal with. It's perfect for me because I don't really like the spotlight either. I think with him, it feels like a glove."

The events of Luke Cage will eventually tie into The Defenders, the superhero team-up show that will also feature Daredevil, Jessica Jones, and Iron Fist. Prior to that, Iron Fist is expected in 2017, and a first teaser was revealed at SDCC.

It has also been confirmed that Daredevil will return for a third season. Although the show has proved extremely popular, Netflix's increasingly busy Marvel schedule hadn't included a third outing for the blind superhero until last month.
