We’re almost there! Marvel’s Luke Cage will be out in a little less than week. Until then, we have a brand new featurette asking and answering – Who Is Luke Cage?
This featurette is a very good set up for those new to the character and even a good refresher for longtime fans as the piece digs into Luke after the events of Jessica Jones, Harlem as a backdrop to the series, what it means to be a hero and more. Hearing it from people like Exec. Producer / Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker, Mike Colter, Simone Missick and Rosairo Dawson helps convey exact what you can expect from the series.
There’s also some new bits of footage from the series interspersed in between the interviews with the cast, which is not to be missed. Take two minutes out of your day to watch this piece as you do not want to miss it:
