New LUKE CAGE Image Features Simone Missick As Misty Knight Alongside Mike Colter's Titular Hero
Will Misty Knight (Simone Missick) eventually don that bionic arm and join Cage in his fight against the Harlem underworld? We'll find out next month, but for now see 'em both in a new still from the show...
As we get closer to the September premiere date of Marvel and Netflix's Luke Cage, we're starting to see more and more promotion for the highly anticipated follow up to Jessica Jones.
Following that bone-crunching trailer and a recent magazine cover, we have a brand new still featuring Cage (Mike Colter) sharing a smile with Simone Missick's Mercedes "Misty" Knight.
In the comics, Knight is a cop that loses an arm and reinvents herself as a crime-fighting hero after some Tony Stark upgrades. It remains to be seen if her small-screen counterpart will follow suit, however.
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.
