New LUKE CAGE Clip Introduces Mahershala Ali As The Villainous Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes
Marvel and Netflix have released another clip from the season premiere of Luke Cage, which features Cottonmouth (House of Cards actor Mahershala Ali) roughing up a lower level thug. Click on to take a look...
Luke Cage is being hailed as the best Marvel/Netflix collaboration yet, and we'll get to see what all the fuss is about in just a couple of weeks. If you want more of an idea of what to expect in the meantime, you can check out the new clip from the pilot episode.
In the comics, Cottonmouth is just as strong as Cage and sports a mouthful of razor-sharp teeth. It doesn't look as though this take on the character is going to follow suit, but that doesn't make Mahershala Ali's interpretation any less intimidating, as you'll see below.
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.
Luke Cage punches onto Netflix on September 30th.
