The Final Netflix Trailer For Luke Cage Season 2 Isn't About Luke Cage

Netflix has released the final trailer for Luke Cage before the new season premieres on June 22. The trailer gives a pretty good look into what the new season will entail, but what is particularly interesting is that the trailer seems to barely focus on Cage at all but instead places heavy focus on the villains of the season, Mariah Dillard and Bushmaster.

Dillard appeared consistently in Season 1, and while she wasn't necessarily considered the big bad at that point, she was one of the central crime bosses around which the story revolved. In this season, on the other hand, Dillard is taking center stage. She clearly has some sympathetic intentions toward the Harlem neighborhood, but this isn't particularly redeeming considering her actions in Season 1 as well as what appears to be some pretty shady behavior involving black market gun sales in the upcoming season which you can see in the video below.

Bushmaster, on the other hand is an entirely unsympathetic character, coming after Dillard in a war for control over Harlem. The trailer makes it seem like destroying Dillard is equally--or perhaps even more important to him--than gaining control of Harlem considering that the two are engaged in a conflict that could tear the neighborhood apart.

Naturally, this season looks like it's going to be very action heavy. The trailer showed off some pretty cool action sequences including a shot of Cage and Bushmaster engaged in an epic battle; both characters appear to have bulletproof skin. Looks like this season is going to be just as exciting as the first one. Luke Cage Season 2 premieres June 22.
