In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, LUKE CAGE executive producer, writer and showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker compared his series to HBO's The Wire.
“It’s very sophisticated. I mean, it’s got a ’90s hip-hop vibe, but it’s really forward-thinking. We have Adrian Younge and Ali Shaheed Muhammad doing the scoring for us. We have a lot of different musical appearances, but at the same time, we’ve got the Marvel action. We’ve got drama. I would like this to be, I mean, I know this is heavy but, The Wire of Marvel television, because we really deal with a lot of different issues.”
That is a big comparison and hopefully LUKE CAGE will fall in line with this claim when it premieres on Netflix on September 30.
And in case you missed the teaser trailer for LUKE CAGE, here it is.
Synopsis: "After a sabotaged experiment leaves him with super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City. But he is soon pulled out of the shadows and must fight a battle for the heart of his city--forcing him to confront a past he had tried to bury."
