Mike Colter Reveals Plot and Character Details for Marvel's 'Luke Cage'
Mike Colter has spoken to EW regarding the upcoming installment into Netflix's growing slate of Marvel series. The logline essentially details a strongman fighting crime on the streets of Harlem.
"There are politicians and then there are shady characters that function on the other side of the law. Who does what? I won’t say, but this becomes a situation where there are a lot of people who want to help Harlem and think they have Harlem’s best interests, but, ultimately, just because they think or say they have Harlem’s best interests, sometimes they’re being very selfish or being very short-sighted. So sometimes what they’re doing is actually harming the community.
"So this is where Luke comes in because Luke is a person who likes to, he observes and he listens and he takes in to account what people tell him, and he’s a pretty smart guy himself and he understands that some peoples’ way may not be the best may not be the best in the big picture so ultimately Luke has to get involved because there are a lot of things that happen, a lot of people get hurt, a lot of lives are lost and unfortunately he’s the only one who is capable of actually helping deal with this because sometimes the law enforcement is actually not the best because they’re not aware or they’re not capable, or maybe they’re corrupt.
"So, without getting into too many details, Luke Cage is gonna have to step up and be the man." There's a good chance we'll see Krysten Ritter appear as Jessica Jones, and Colter was hesitant to respond to the question. “I don’t know. I can’t tell you. I can’t.”
