 Daredevil is set to premiere in May 2015 | With production wrapping on the first of the Marvel/Netflix original series, Daredevil, and the recent casting of Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) Marvel is continuing its momentum by casting the lead for its next hero lead, Luke Cage. Meet Mike Colter! |
The character of Luke Cage, in the comics, marries and fathers a child with Jessica Jones, so it is no surprise that they will be introducing his character on the A.K.A. Jessica Jones series.
The only Defender left uncast is Iron Fist - who I expect will be introduced during the Luke Cage series (since they are partners in 'Heroes for Hire.') This will lead up to the final mini-series- The Defenders.
I love that they are broadening the scope of the MCU and creating more characters that can and will be impacted as the feature films continue to roll out.
