Simone Missick Joins Marvel's LUKE CAGE In Lead Female Role As 'Misty Knight'
Earlier today, Luke Cage got a villain and Daredevil alum, and now the upcoming Marvel and Netflix series has cast Simone Missick as Misty Knight, the former NYPD officer who is gifted a new bionic arm by Tony Stark. Will that be the case in the series too? Read on for details...
The site describes her as "a former NYPD officer who gets a new bionic arm by Tony Stark after losing her in the line of duty. She eventually launches a detective agency, helping Cage (Colter)." However, it's not actually made clear if that's just a summurisation of the comic book version of Misty Knight or what we should expect in Luke Cage. Either way, this is a pretty exciting addition to the Netflix series, don't you think? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts on this news below.
