The Luke Cage series picks up a few months after the events of Jessica Jones‘ freshman season, with Cage having left Hell’s Kitchen for Harlem in the hopes of starting afresh.
Similar to Marvel/Netflix series past, Luke Cage will embrace a grittier and more adult tone as it explores the life of yet another New York-based vigilante who has “their feet firmly planted on the ground” (as the official Marvel/Netflix press release for the Luke Cage poster puts it).
The first Luke Cage teaser trailer offers a quick glimpse at Cottomouth in particular, but primarily focuses on Luke Cage doing what the future members of Marvel’s The Defenders do best: beating up bad guys in hallways.
Marvel’s Luke Cage is the next addition to the growing Marvel/Netflix TV show lineup and features Mike Colter back in the title role, following his debut as the character on Jessica Jones season 1 last year.
