Just about a month from now and Marvel premieres its Netflix original series Daredevil on April 10. After that A.K.A. Jessica Jones will be on Netflix in approximately 6-10 months and it is currently filming the series right now.
Jessica Jones will debut actor Mike Colter as Luke Cage. Not much is known about Luke Cage but the actor did reveal hints in an interview with The List.
"Marvel actually gives you a special training class in how not to say too much in interviews [laughs]. We’re in the middle of shooting AKA Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is a very interesting character who just happens to have super strength and unbreakable skin. He’s a neighborhood hero, very much linked to New York and Jessica Jones. It’s all part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but Luke Cage is a darker, grittier, more tangible character than Iron Man or Thor. He likes to keep things close to his chest, operate on the hush-hush. He has these abilities but he’s not sure how and when to use them. He’s a very nuanced character."
In the comics, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones work together a lot before becoming a couple and it remains to be seen if the latter will be adapted in their Netflix series. To read more about Luke Cage, click here to go to his official Marvel character page.
