Looks Like We Have Our First LUKE CAGE Villain

It seems the first villain Luke Cage (Mike Colter) will be squaring off against in his solo TV show will be one of the first he encountered in the pages of Power Man way back in 1974. Heroic Hollywood reports that Cornell Cottonmouth (not to be confused with the Serpent Society member) is going to be causing problems for Cage when Marvel's third Netflix series finally gets underway.

It sounds like he'll be introduced as a second tier baddie, working for the show's main antagonist, and may also have ties to Daredevil's Wilson Fisk. In the comics Cottonmouth has super strength and razor sharp golden teeth, but it remains to be seen if that'll carry over into live-action of course.

The only other detail we have on Luke Cage so far is that Cheo Hodari Coker (Southland, Ray Donovan) is on board as showrunner, but we should hear some official casting info pretty soon.

I really wish they would've set all of these in the 70s. That would've been so cool. Then we could've seen Joe Carnahan's Daredevil and a true (slightly more serious) blaxploitation Luke Cage. Then a Bruce Lee kung-fu film style Iron Fist movie and...no Jessica Jones. Replace her series with Daughters of the Dragon. Half blaxploitation / half Kung-Fu film.

Be pretty cool if the story from Jessica Jones carried over into Luke Cage and the main villain of Luke Cage is Purple Man. Although, I reckon the main villain is gonna be Power Broker.

I know and I love it.

I hope Iron Fist gets cancelled. @Blackandyellow has talked way too much shit about Hellboy and Cleveland to deserve happiness.

I kind of find it hard to believe that they'll be able to make magic like the Daredevil show again. But hey, they've got a great track record

Wow, this is some jigga-boo coonery if I've ever seen it. Marvel has reached an all-time low with their depictions of black characters.

I actually think Tombstone would make for a great Luke Cage villain. They grew up in the same neighbourhood I believe. Also create more Spider-Man links.

I'm curious if Luke Cage is going to get his powers from the Rand Industry's toxic soup too.
