Marvel's 'Luke Cage' Enlists Alfre Woodard

Marvel's Netflix drama Luke Cage has enlisted Alfre Woodard.

The State of Affairs alum is near a deal to board the drama starring Mike Colter as the hero in the title, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

Cage will be introduced in Jessica Jones, the second of four Marvel series for Netflix, before being spun off into his own show. During the course of an investigation in New York, private investigator Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter) encounters the enigmatic Luke Cage — a man whose past has secrets that will dramatically alter Jessica herself in ways she could never have imagined.

In Luke Cage, Woodard will play a lead character known as Minetta, a powerful woman in local politics who impacts his life. She may be a version of villain Black Mariah, a nemesis to Cage and Iron Fist.

Cheo Hodari Coker serves as showrunner on Luke Cage, which hails from Marvel Television and ABC Studios.

Woodard, repped by ICM and Circle of Confusion, most recently recurred on TNT's The Last Ship. She also has feature Mississippi Grind in theaters.

'Luke Cage's' Mike Colter: "I Hope the Black Community Can Feel Good About It"

Marvel's next Netflix series could not be more timely. Luke Cage follows a bulletproof African-American superhero (Mike Colter) living in Harlem, and the cast and creator understood the responsibility they had in bringing the series to life.

"It's important in the landscape of television and globally as far as symbols," series star Mike Colter told reporters Wednesday at the television critics association summer press tour. "When you look at black culture, it's important to have positive images. It's an overwhelming task to carry this on your shoulders. We have no agenda, but I hope that the black community can feel good about it as well."

Since the Luke Cage comic book came out in 1972, "the year I was born," executive producer Cheo Coker said, he had to update the look of the iconic superhero to make it fit into the Marvel Netflix universe.

"The yellow shirt and the tiara aren't immediately present," Coker said of Luke's costume in the comics. "Luke Cage came out in the era of Shaft and Superfly. It was Marvel Universe's reaction to blaxspoitation. But blaxspoitation ... it's no different from anything else except we get to have swag and the chance to have compelling heroes and compelling villains. It's the opportunity to address a lot of issues and at the same time, have fun, and that's going to surprise some people."

Because of some of the issues that the series addresses, Coker argues that it's not just for comic book fans.

"People underestimate the complexity of comic books," Coker said. "Translating that to this universe, what makes Marvel characters different from other characters, is that Marvel characters live in the real world. You can come in as a comic book geek, you can come in as a hip-hop geek, a lover of mysteries, sports, anything. It really rewards repeated, complex viewing. That's what I love about doing it with Netflix. Without commercial interruption, you can really go in so many different directions."

While viewers met Luke in Jessica Jones, the second of four of Marvel's Netflix slate, Luke Cage is going to dive deeper into who this superstrong, bulletproof man really is.

"[Jessica Jones executive producer] Melissa Rosenberg provided such a great introduction to the character," Coker said. "In our show, this is from Luke's POV. This is like, when Luke was off camera, what was Luke doing? We're following that character and as a result, expanding it. We're getting into a different world."

Netflix boss Ted Sarandos revealed earlier in the day that the current plan is to release Luke Cage, Iron Fist and The Defenders before rolling out additional seasons of Jessica Jones and Daredevil. But as for additional seasons of Luke Cage, Marvel boss Jeph Loeb said that it's too early to tell.

"I'd like to tell you there's a plan but the plan changes all the time," Loeb said. "Luke Cage is our latest effort. We know that we are going to do another season of Jessica Jones and another season of Daredevil. It's certainly our hope that Luke Cage continues to tell stories but that's really Netflix's call."

Once the Avengers-style superhero team up series The Defenders debuts, will the lead characters show up in each others' shows more often than they have been so far?

"The short answer is we're already doing it," Loeb said. "The longer answer is, as things go by, as the story dictates it, we're always big fans of providing easter eggs but it has to work within the story. We never want to do Luke Cage getting into a cab and Foggy Nelson [Eldon Henson] and Matt Murdock [Charlie Cox] are getting out of the cab."

Luke Cage season one will stream in its entirety beginning Friday, Sept. 30 on Netflix.

Could Netflix's 'Luke Cage' Deliver a Misty Knight Spinoff Series?

Does Marvel have another Netflix spinoff series in its sights?

After fan-favorite comic book character Frank Castle/the Punisher (Jon Bernthal) stole the show during season two of Daredevil, Netflix and Marvel greenlit a Punisher spinoff series. With its upcoming Luke Cage, Marvel's third Netflix series is set to introduce the first live-action adaptation of Misty Knight. And with the introduction of the fan-favorite character comes the opportunity for another spinoff series — which could seem like an easy decision for the network and comic book powerhouse to make.

The character of Misty Knight was first introduced to Marvel comics in 1975 and was strongly influenced by the blaxpoitation trend of the 1970s. In her earliest incarnation, Misty was a bionically enhanced black female detective with martial arts skills. After she was injured on the job with the NYPD preventing a bomb attack, she was gifted a bionic arm by Tony Stark/Iron Man, giving her superhuman strength.

In the comics, Misty was linked romantically to both Power Man/Luke Cage (Mike Colter) and Iron Fist/Danny Rand (Finn Jones). She's strong, independent, smart and a great role model for women — so much so that she received the biggest cheer out of the entire Luke Cage cast at the show's Comic-Con panel. So is a Misty Knight spinoff series in the cards?

"We're very lucky in a sense that our casts are so rich and deep and so diverse," Marvel TV head Jeph Loeb tells The Hollywood Reporter. "We certainly have plans for all of our characters. A lot of it has to do with exactly how many shows Netflix is actually going to let us make. We're up to six now."

He pauses to laugh and continues, "At a certain point, we have to be careful that we're not becoming the Marvel channel on Netflix."

When told that comic book fans probably wouldn't be mad about that, he laughed again.

"Nor would we," Loeb says. "But I think Netflix is being very selective in terms of where we're going. That being said, Simone just knocked it so far out of the park that we're still trying to find the baseball. It's somewhere out there traversing the globe. So it's really great. And I can tell you that what she's doing on Luke Cage, it's just incredible. The fans are really going to love it. And wait until you see Jessica Henwick as Colleen Wing. She's amazing."

For her part, Missick is ready and willing to star in her own spinoff series.

"Somebody put it on Twitter that they want to see a Misty Knight series with Shonda Rhimes as one of the writers. I was like, 'Hell yeah,'" Missick tells The Hollywood Reporter. "How cool would that be? If you say it, if you put it out there, maybe it will happen. Tweet it, and it will come."

While Missick knows that the fan are eager for the first live-action Misty Knight, she was shocked when she got the biggest cheer during the Comic-Con panel, even more than Luke Cage star Colter.

"I was completely surprised, I will say that," Missick says. "There was this picture of me on Getty Images — please, no one find it — but I have the biggest, goofiest smile on my face. I was blown away at the audience. I mean, really?! I never imagined it."

Luke Cage season one will stream in its entirety beginning Friday, Sept. 30 on Netflix.

Loved the scene with Luke coming out of the tank wearing the "tiara" and wrist bands.
Too bad he'll only have them for a couple of seconds. Still… :-)

'Luke Cage': Showrunner and Star Discuss "Why the World Is Ready For a Bulletproof Black Man"

When Luke Cage first went into production, the series' showrunner and star had no idea just how important the comic book show would be.

Netflix's third Marvel series (after Daredevil and Jessica Jones) centers around titular superhero Luke Cage (Mike Colter), an African-American ex-con with bulletproof skin and superhuman strength living in Harlem. Given all the violent, gun-related encounters happening between police and black men all over the country recently, Luke Cage is striking a chord with fans as was evidenced by the standing ovation during the show's Comic-Con panel in July. During the panel, executive producer Cheo Coker said that "the world is ready for a bulletproof black man," and the audience responded enthusiastically.

When The Hollywood Reporter sat down with Coker after the Comic-Con panel, he admitted that he didn't realize just how much people responded to his words at the time.

"You know what's funny is that we couldn't really see the audience," Coker tells THR. "I could only see the first three rows, and then because of the sound, the speakers were so loud broadcasting our voices out and I was just trying to focus on everything that [moderator] Jeph [Loeb] was saying, trying not to show that I was nervous. So I'm ecstatic that people responded the way that they did. And not even just to the trailer, but the response to some of the things we said on the panel was cool."

Even though Luke Cage is, at its core, a comic book show, Coker strongly believes it can have an impact on public opinion about human inequity in the real world, especially looking at what's happening in the country today.

"With what's going on with all these shootings, superheroes have always arisen during times of conflict, when people felt helpless," Coker says. "For example, if you look at the history of Superman and the emergence of Captain America during World War II, during periods of American history when people felt disempowered, disenfranchised, that was the function of superheroes. Basically, to look at world events and what's happening in society through the prism of someone that, with their powers, is able to make changes while at the same time, also be entertaining."

Coker believes that the superhero genre is actually an extension and update of classic Westerns.

"When you get to modern history, people aren't riding horses anymore and superheroes kind of overtook Westerns in that regard," Coker says. "Although Westerns have been around for 70 years and we'll have to see what happens with superheroes. But what I'm saying is that [the comic book genre] was meeting both things. Yes, you have this whole thing that's going on in the world but at the same time, just on a superhero level. You're only beginning to see more African-American superheroes. It's the confluence of both."

But according to both Coker and Colter, it's mere coincidence that Luke Cage comes during a time of such social unrest.

"It's going on a couple years now since this whole process started and it's been over a year since me and Cheo first had a conversation," Colter says. "I don't think, at the time [when production began], that we knew it was timely. I don't think we ever thought it would be this timely. It's just … wow. It couldn't be more timely."

Regardless of timing, Coker always knew that the issues at the center of the Marvel series were important and needed to be represented.

"The show is really about what happens when, in this world where people are afraid to speak out because if you look at what's happening in real life in any community of color that are facing these issues, when you have people that break the law and the whole thing of not snitching which is true of any community that deals with this, how does that change when you introduce a bulletproof element?" Coker says. "How do both police enforcement and criminal enforcement change when you introduce a character who can't be swayed by normal means? How does that affect everything and what is the ripple effect of that?"

He continues, "Season one of Luke Cage is partially about that, but it's also about the evolution of why does somebody become a hero in the first place? And in becoming a hero, what does it take? Why does somebody do it, because it's a thankless job? And ultimately, what do they realize about themselves when they do that?"

And while Colter didn't necessarily think about the real-world connections in Luke Cage at first, recently he started to understand the importance of bringing this bulletproof character to life.

"Let's be honest, in the world that we're living in right now, I watched a video the other day of a black 'suspect,' and he wasn't even really a suspect, laying down on the ground with his hands up in the air and they still shot him," Colter says, shaking his head. "You're trying to process it. You're trying to figure out what does it take to not be shot, to not be a threat, to not be deemed as someone who is suspicious or someone who is someone you should pull your gun on and shoot, perhaps. You don't know what's going to happen next."

The video Colter is referencing was from a shooting in North Miami, where a police officer shot a man laying down with his hands in the air next to an autistic man playing with a toy truck in the middle of the street. The incident was not captured on video, but there is a recording of the moments before the shooting occurred that clearly showed both men were unarmed.

"I tried to process it because I'm a fair person. I try to look at things from an outside-the-box kind of way and try to add up the pieces," Colter says. "One guy is sitting down playing with a toy truck and one guy is laying down with his hands up in the air and still, a shot rang out from a distance from someone who thought they were under threat. I couldn't process it. I'm still trying to process it. But as I'm playing this superhero who is bulletproof, I say to myself that it's like a symbol."

He continues, "We all feel vulnerable, and as much as Cage would not like to have these powers that he has, he has been imbued with these powers and abilities and he has to own them. And whether he wants to deal with this or not, the time has come to not only use his powers to help the community and society and everyone, but also use it to speak out because he has that ability. He doesn't have to fear ramifications like other people who fear for their life. He is vulnerable, yes, there are things that can hurt him. But not bullets. So he speaks up when he has to, and right now, that's more of a symbol than anything else. And wow, what a refreshing thought, that you can actually say what you what to say and not be shot and not have to worry about getting hurt."

Luke Cage season one will stream in its entirety beginning Friday, Sept. 30 on Netflix.

Can someone comment on the level of adultiness, as compared to Daredevil and Jessica Jones?

Half way through and there's been no real nudity that I recall, although there is one sex scene (that's flashed back to later on).

Lots of violence, but no real gore (blood from gunshots, etc).

Adult language used, but there's also emphasis from a couple characters about proper behavior (a "swear can" and rule against profanity in the barber shop, etc) vs that exhibited by the bad guys.

The sex scene, while it had no nudity, was pretty steamy. And some side boob.

And there are many instances of the n-word.

Yeah, that was a lot of the adult language I was talking about, but it's also an instance of refuting the behavior - like when the kid with the gun uses it and Cage tells him he refuses to be called that.

'Luke Cage' Showrunner, Star Break Down Episode 3's Epic Fight Scene With "Swagger"

[Warning: This story contains spoilers from Luke Cage season one, episode three, "Who's Gonna Take the Weight."]

Daredevil's infamous hallway fight scene is a thing of the past thanks to Luke Cage.

Marvel's latest Netflix series blew one of the most iconic superhero TV show fight sequences in recent memory out of the water only three episodes in, with the epic Crispus Attucks fight scene shot from two different perspectives. The episode, "Who's Gonna Take the Weight," opened with Luke (Mike Colter) putting in his earbuds, playing music and walking right into Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes (Mahershala Ali) and Mariah Dillard's (Alfre Woodard) stash house, taking out all the hired guns and walking out with stolen money, but the sequence was only shown from outside the building. The only sign that there was something violent happening inside the building was a couch flying out of a second story window.

Later in the episode, viewers finally got to see the fight sequence from Luke's point of view. With the scene set to the music of Wu-Tang Clan, Luke got his revenge on Cottonmouth for killing Pop (Frankie Faison) by hitting the crime lord where it hurts: his money. He took out every single one of the men posted up inside like it was nothing, and only took one bag of money from the stash house, instead leaving the rest for the police to seize as evidence.

"Just the image of the couch coming out of the window was so perfect," executive producer Cheo Coker tells The Hollywood Reporter. "Guillermo Navarro, who directed that episode, not only is an incredibly brilliant director but is also a cinematographer, and shot Desperado and Jackie Brown, he's so beautifully visionary. He's the man. We laughed when we even thought about the couch coming out. Immediately it draws you in as a teaser, like, 'What the heck is even happening in there?' Then you hear the gunshots, and here comes Luke."

Coker liked the idea of presenting that same scene in two different ways at two different points in the episode because of how it set up the tension for when viewers are finally able to witness the actual fight.

"You're already anticipating what's going to happen, so when you finally do get to that moment and then the music kicks in, it takes on this new energy," Coker says. "Luke putting his headphones in, he knows he can't get hurt. He knows he can't really hurt anybody. So this is his workout. This is his way of working out the problems that he had from what happened in episode two. This is how Luke is going to affect -- 'I’m now coming out of the shadows and I'm now going to literally affect change.' When he does this and goes through this whole sequence and it's choreographed to the song, it has this energy to it."

Coker is fully aware that the fight scene will draw comparisons to Oldboy as well as the Daredevil hall sequence. "But we wanted to do something that, while in the same realm, was its own thing," Coker says. "To me, as a fan, watching Mike walk through that, he has such swagger. I'm like, 'Good God!' You envision something, but when you see it executed and when you see Mike as Luke pull it off, the imagery alone with the music and everything else, it's so empowering. It's so superhero badass. It's fun. That's what this whole show is about, ultimately, being able to do the superhero thing with flavor."

According to Colter, filming that sequence was one of the toughest ones of the entire season.

"We talked about the sequence even before we started shooting, for a long time," the actor says. "I couldn't get that sequence out of my head. I was just thinking, 'How was this going to be executed? How long will this take?' When writers write a sequence, the stunt team and special effects and so many people have to figure out how to actually do it. And I remember that day, we were under the gun. We didn't finish shooting that sequence until probably like five in the morning. It was a 14-hour day."

He continues, "Tempers were running high, there was so much going on, and we had to get this shot done and we need to get that couch out the window, there were so many pieces to come together. The fact that we were able to pull it off is, I'm still impressed."

There were several points throughout filming that Colter actually doubted that they would be able to finish filming it in time.

"We were tired and didn't have enough time," Colter says. "I can't tell you how many things that could have gone wrong and actually did go wrong, and we still had to keep going. I was frustrated. I couldn't believe it, but that's the world of television. You plan something, and what can go wrong will go wrong. At the end of the day, Guillermo was our hero. I remember giving him a hug halfway through because he was getting frustrated and I was getting frustrated and everyone was getting frustrated."

Colter credits Navarro's passion with pushing them all towards the finish line.

"Guillermo is a really passionate guy and I respond to that passion, I respond to people who care because I can get behind that," Colter says. "And he did a great job. So when we shot that sequence, it was probably as adrenaline-pumped as you get from watching it, minus the music."

And that high-energy during filming even led to a few on-set injuries.

"Some of the stunt guys even got hurt, but they didn't care," Colter says. "I kept apologizing. I kept hitting some guys in the face, and they were like, 'No man, it's okay!' They were literally getting hit in the face with a car door and telling me it's okay. They were just happy to be there and couldn't wait to be stitched up and get right back in it."

As much as Coker is proud of the choreography of the sequence, he loves it more for how much it shows about Luke as a man.

"You see the power of the character, but at the same time, you also see the personality of the character," Coker says. "It's the little gestures, like some of Mike's ad libs. My favorite was like the classic Bruce Lee hand wave, like, 'Come at me.' One of the things we always talked about is that we know how powerful Luke is. He would never intentionally hit anyone with full force. He doesn't want to kill anyone. So our name for it was smack-fu."

Both Coker and Colter pause to laugh at their made-up term, before Coker continues, "With the smack-fu sequence, it was about seeing Luke go in, [his] POV, we're with him as he goes through this whole thing, so there's this fun to it. I think people are going to be talking about that sequence and I hope that it takes off."

Adds Colter: "They're going to want to replay it over and over and over."

Luke Cage's entire first season is now streaming on Netflix.
