Surely Marvel Won't Put LUKE CAGE In A Tiara..Right?

At the Winter TCA panel, actor Mike Colter was asked whether his solo Luke Cage series will see the man with diamond-hard skin wear his original superhero threads, a yellow shirt and tiara. His answer was surprising to say the least. Read on for additional details.

Luke Cage has never really been one to wear a superhero costume.  Howevere, his debut threads, a yellow blouse-like shirt and tiara comes pretty close.  These days, Cage is more likely to be kicking super villain but in jeans, boots and a t-shirt.  When Mike Colter was asked whether Cage would wear his original threads in his solo Netflix series, Colter didn't laugh the question off as you might expect.  "You know when you see something and you know they're going to do it and you cant believe its real? I'll leave it at that." 

That's about as close as you can get to confirmation without actually confirming anything.  At some point in the series, expect to see Colter to be wearing the original Luke Cage costume.  

Luke Cage will premiere later this year on Netflix.

Just a yellow T-Shirt would be good enough for me.

Maybe he can wear some gauntlets like he does sometimes in the comics, and it would be cool if he got a "cage" belt buckle with a chain and stuff, not for like a whole season, but when it just happens to be his wardrobe and he happens upon a chain in combat, could be neat is all I'm saying.

It's a steel headband not a tiara. It's such a dumb memetic joke that's spread way too much trying to make fun of Luke Cage as Power Man. If anything, it's this Bendis version of the character that's lame as hell

@Inhuman The "Real World" has a guy running around in a devil suit, Thor, an android in a bright yellow cape and a 70+ year old man in his prime wearing the American flag on his torso...

An occasional Yellow shirt and a belt buckle with the word "CAGE" engraved in it is all I need. Luke Cage is going to be one of the most prominent PoC Superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (and already is in the comics), and deserves to be given a somewhat fitting costume.

@ScionStorm and the Netflix side has shown PTSD, Rape, Brutal gangs, kidnappings, torture, manipulation, straight up dismemberment of a man via his wife, and soon to add in racial privileges and larger social themes. Netflix might still be in the same universe as Howard the Duck and Thor, but it has its own atmosphere

If he's in a Flashback with a Yellow Shirt and Afro then YES! But if its in the current timeline lets make it a joke like JJ costume in JJ. Make fun of it but don't wear it.

Here is what I think will happen. At some point he will wear a yellow shirt. During that time he will prob be captured and chained up. Then he'll break free and beat the shit out of mofos in chains and braces that will look like the tiara and bracelets.

@mutantsoldier Chain Belt weapon doesn't sound too bad. Would be cool if used right. Don't know if he'd have that skill. He tends to like the heavy chains...

Just Fox him and give him a yellow shirt, blue jeans, and he can use a chain in some fight scenes.

The simple way can sometimes be the best.

I'd be cool with it if he was going to a 70's styler party and decided to sport those threads.

If they can make the Ancient One a white sexually ambiguous 40 year old, they can do anything at this point. Fans are just gonna swallow it whole and ask for seconds...

The headband would look fine if he was rocking the fro but that metal headband on our bald Mike Coulter would just look really dumb....like Diggle status derp mode.


I don't want this level of facepalm in the MCU

Have the russo's costume designer come up with something for Cage. They haven't made a bad costume yet.

Don't need the headband, but can't say I'd totally hate seeing him straight up destroy someone with a chain...

ITS A HEADBAND! NOT A TIARA!

Tiaras are worn over the top of the head.

Luke's band goes over his forehead!
