Rumored Synopsis For Marvel's LUKE CAGE Series Reveals The Main Villain And Love Interest
If you fancy knowing who Luke Cage (Mike Colter) might call his main squeeze post-Jessica Jones, as well as who that dame might bring the Power Man into conflict with, then hit the jump and check out the potential plot summary for the forthcoming 13-episode Netflix series.
Now that Jessica Jones has finally wrapped production and season 2 of Daredevil is currently filming, Marvel is about to begin principal photography on its third standalone Netflix series that eventually leads into the Defenders team-up. Luke Cage will reportedly start shooting as soon as next week. And while the supporting cast surrounding Mike Colter's titular superhero has only just started to fill out, Heroic Hollywood has come through with potential plot and character details.
According to the following story breakdown that is "subject to change," the 13-episode Luke Cage series will see Willis Stryker aka Diamondback as the Power Man's main antagonist even though Academy Award-nominated actress Alfre Woodard was recently cast as a lead villain, Minetta. And despite Cage first appearing in Jessica Jones with the very titular superheroine that he's married to the comics, the love interest in his standalone series will be Reva Connors. What do you think?
“Luke Cage is a former gang member who is framed for a crime. In prison, he volunteers for a medical experiment that goes awry, giving him super strength and bulletproof skin. Using his newfound powers, Cage escapes and becomes a hero for hire. His archenemy is Willy Stryker, a former childhood friend from Harlem. The two committed petty crimes together, and both fell for the same woman, Reva Connors, which led to their eventual falling out. It was Stryker who framed Cage for a drug deal that sent him to prison.” - Heroic Hollywood
