'Marvel's Luke Cage' Spoilers: Will Mike Colter Discover What Makes Netflix Hero, Carl Lucas, "Tick?" [WATCH]
With the premiere of Marvel's Daredevil coming up and production already begun for Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones, audiences cannot wait to binge-watch the next Netflix superhero series. Will Mike Colter discover what makes his hero-for-hire, Carl Lucas, "tick" in Marvel's Luke Cage?
As we previously mentioned, Carl Lucas' origin story begins with him being framed for a crime he didn't commit. Wanting to get revenge for the alleged drug bust, the wrongfully accused criminal volunteers for an experimental treatment at the prison. The chemical compounds end up giving him superhuman strength and durability.
In an interview with IGN, the Halo: Nightfall actor discusses the tone of the Netflix series, "And when I look at the scripts, I'm really pleased with it because it's a slow-burn; there's nothing happening really fast that gets ahead of itself. I'm really with where they're taking it and how they're developing the characters, because it's really cool and it's geared towards an adult audience, which is something that will be different from the Marvel Cinematic Universe you've seen before on the big screen."
Luke Cage will first appear in an episode of Jessica Jones. During an investigation in New York City, the super-powered private investigator (Played by Krysten Ritter) will encounter the enigmatic superhero. His secrets will dramatically alter Jessica in ways she could never have imagined.
Colter hints if race will play into the storyline, "The approach with the character for me is more about the human qualities and the things that make Luke Cage tick. And the writers have to then decide to bring in the race of the character, if there's an angle there. But I don't look at it as something I have to prep differently for, because I am what I am and I approach the characters as they have to then be played by me, Mike Colter - the actor who happens to be black. It's more of an aside, rather than something I take on by the horns. It doesn't really factor for me at all."
