Mike Colter Reveals Plot Details For LUKE CAGE
After his introduction in Marvel's Jessica Jones, Luke Cage decided to go off on his own. Any details regarding the plot of the Netflix series have been kept secret. Thanks to Mike Colter, we now have an idea of the show's plot.
There hasn't been much news in the way of the Marvel Netflix series Luke Cage. Other than the teaser trailer and a few behind-the-scenes images, any details regarding the plot to the Netflix series have been kept secret until now. During a live video interview with Entertainment Weekly through Facebook, Mike Colter revealed a few plot details that might help us understand the direction the show is going in.
"There are politicians and then there are shady characters that function on the other side of the law," said Colter. "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."
Luke Cage has always kept a low profile when it came to using his special abilities or even revealing who he is. We caught a glimpse of Luke's heroic side in Jessica Jones, but according to Colter, Luke is giving in to the possibility of becoming a superhero. "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." Are you excited to see Marvel's Luke Cage?
