Mike Colter’sPower Manteaches a group of criminals some manners in a new clip fromLuke Cage, which debuts the first season in its entirety on Friday, September 30. The scene featuresLuke Cageinterrupting a robbery, telling these would-be thieves that their tone is disrespectful. Unfortunately for these crooks, they aren’t aware thatLuke Cagehas impenetrable skin and incredible powers, which they learn quite quickly.
The series is the third in theMarvel Netflixlineup, following the releases ofDaredevilandJessica Jones, leading up to the future release ofIron Fist, which is currently in production, and ultimately,The Defenders. Given Luke Cage and Iron Fist’s connection in the comics as “Heroes for Hire,” where they would do good deeds for the public for a price, it’s possible that Power Man could surface in theIron Fistshow, but we don’t know for sure. Netflix hasn’t announced when production will begin onThe Defendersquite yet.
Luke Cage, also known as Power Man, gained his abilities from a sabotaged experiment that left him with superhuman strength, and unbreakable skin. He is attempting to rebuild his life in New York City. Ultimately, he gets pulled into conflict, all resulting from the past he is trying to bury. As was teased inJessica Jones, the two are love interests for one another in the comic book world as well, so it’s certainly possible thatKrysten Rittercould make a cameo. It was recently confirmed that, whileJessica Joneswas renewed, that show’s second season will come afterThe Defenders.
It was also recently confirmed that this first season ofLuke Cagewill overlap withDaredevil Season 2.DaredevilstarCharlie Coxrevealed at a convention appearance that a scene featuringRosario Dawson’s Claire Temple with a cut over her eye intersects with this first season ofLuke Cage. We’re not sure if there are other instances where both shows will overlap.
