The premiere of Marvel’s Luke Cage is only days away and as if anticipation wasn’t already high, Netflix have now dropped a trailer full of action.
Luke Cage is said to follow the pattern of a Western, with Cage as the Cowboy and Cottonmouth as the big baddie, all set to a hip-hop soundtrack.
Described as ‘The Wire of Marvel Television‘ by showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker, Luke Cage is said to be more political than its Marvel/Netflix predecessors, and picks up with Luke after he leaves Hell’s Kitchen.
Starring Mike Colter as Luke Cage, the show also features Mahershala Ali as Cottonmouth, nightclub owner and gunrunner with a tight grip on how things are run underground in Harlem; until the unbreakable Cage turns up, that is.
