Luke Cage Is Like A Western And A Music Album

Each Netflix/Marverl collaboration series has a different tone and feel. Daredevil was a fight for justice, and asking about what justice was. Jessica Jones was a mystery of sorts with Jessica trying to fight her past. For Luke Cage, it appears that the titular hero is aiming to be a very cowboy like figure. This was confirmed by the head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb, who said Cage “has similarities to classic westerns. He’s the [lone] hero who arrives into town.” The series will also be heavily influenced by music, as each episode is named after a song from Gang Starr. “Luke Cage came out in 1972, the year I was born. The character was always Marvel Universe’s reaction to Blaxploitation.” And like in classic Blaxploitation films, the hero would fight, get the girl and get the big imposing camera shot from below. “The same as John Wayne, Sean Connery, Steve McQueen.” Luke Cage is set to be one that both hardcore fans of the character can watch, while also

During its livestream of San Diego Comic Con, the showrunner for the upcoming Marvel/Netflix collaboration series Luke Cage also talked about the appeal of the Defenders team up series that’s about to start filming. Even liking the group to the music group the Wu-Tang Clan. “Each individual series has its own vibe, but then you come together with The Defenders, it’s the supergroup,” Cheo Hodari Coker said. “So if Daredevil is The Genius, and Jessica Jones is Raekwon and we’re Ghostface Killah, we’re all going to come together with The Defenders as Wu-Tang.” “The same way that you can individually have your own favorite members of Wu-Tang, but when they come together as a group, that’s really the power and really the genius of how it’s set up … Everybody gets their moment,” Coker went on Expect to see and hear more about Luke Cage and Defenders as SDCC rolls on.

The premiere date for Marvel’s Luke Cage series has finally been confirmed. Star Mike Colter dropped the tidbit this week at the premiere for the second season of Daredevil this week. You can check out that reveal in the video below. The first season of Luke Cage will premiere on Netflix on September 30. Considering that Daredevil Season 2 is arriving about a month earlier than last year, this is about a similar amount of time as the wait in between the first seasons of Daredevil and Jessica Jones. It does beg the question of when viewers can expect the already announced second season of Jessica Jones to arrive? In addition, the Netflix plan for the Marvel shows is two shows a year. Can that schedule really be maintained when Iron Fist is gearing up its production for a 2017 release? Not only that, where will the new season of Jessica Jones fit in? It it comes out before the end of 2016, that already essentially defeats the notion of

Jessica Jones officially got renewed for Season 2, the second of the Marvel/Netflix collaborations to do so. Next up though is Luke Cage, who unlike the previous show Daredevil, had a significant role in Jessica Jones. So, will Luke Cage just be an extension to Jessica Jones? Not according to Luke Cage himself Mike Colter, who spoke at the TCA’s about the upcoming series (via IGN): “We pride ourselves in all being unique shows, and Luke Cage is definitely not a sequel to Jessica Jones or a spinoff, because it was already originally was supposed to be a show, and it so happens that you can’t tell her story without telling Luke Cage’s story.” He goes on to note the differences, while also noting that Jessica Jones won’t be a distant memory for the series: “The show that we’re filming now, Marvel’s Luke Cage as opposed to Marvel’s Jessica Jones, is completely different. He goes off to uptown and he does his own thing, and there will be some of that.
