Growing up I was a big comic book collector, and my two favorite [comic books] were Luke Cage: Hero for Hire, later Luke Cage: Power Man, and Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu.
So, we can blame Tarantino’s opinionated friends for depriving us all of a Tarantino directed Luke Cage movie lead by Laurence Fishburne.
It is interesting to wonder what the comic book genre would look like now had Tarantino ended up adapting Luke Cage.
It was after Reservoir Dogs, it was before Pulp Fiction, and I had thought about doing Luke Cage.
