‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 Clip: Harlem Has Questions For Luke Cage
The Marvel Cinematic Universe might still be reeling from the events ofAvengers: Infinity War, but it looks like business as usual for the Marvel Netflix universe.Luke Cageseason 2 is fast-approaching, and in a new clip, we get to see Luke Cage dealing with some angry Harlem residents. Watch theLuke Cageseason 2 clip below.
Luke Cage Season 2 Clip
Season 2 finds Luke Cage (Mike Colter) going up against new villain John McIver (Mustafa Shakir), AKA Bushmaster – a villain who appears to be just as tough, and just as bulletproof as Luke himself. Seeing Luke Cage – a super-strong superhero – get knocked down by someone else is clearly a shock to Luke’s neighbors in Harlem, and in this clip, Luke is “harassed by angry neighbors who are starting to see the cracks in this unbreakable hero.”
I thoughtLuke Cageseason 1 wasmostlygood, but like every other Marvel Netflix show, it went on just a little too long. It also killed-offMahershala Ali’s memorable villain Cottonmouth way too soon – he should’ve lasted till the end of the season, at least. Still, I’m looking forward to season 2, mostly because Mike Colter makes for such a charismatic lead. However, I do wonder ifLuke Cageseason 2 is going to address the events ofAvengers: Infinity Warat all. Based on this clip, the answer is no. Will the Marvel Netflix shows be ignoringInfinity War? Or are they meant to take place before the events ofInfinity War? We’ll see.
In addition to Colter as Luke Cage and Mustafa Shakir as Bushmaster,Luke Cageseason 2 featuresRosario Dawsonas Claire Temple,Simone Missickas Misty Knight,Alfre Woodardas Mariah Dillard AKA Black Mariah, andTheo Rossias Hernan ‘Shades’ Alvarez.Gabrielle Dennisalso appears. Excellent character actorReg E. Cathey, who recently died, also appears in the season, playing Luke Cage’s estranged father. Finn Jones will also bepopping upas Iron Fist.
All 13 episodes ofMarvel’s Luke CageSeason 2 premiere exclusively on Netflix onJune 22, 2018.
After clearing his name, Luke Cage has become a celebrity on the streets of Harlem with a reputation as bulletproof as his skin. But being so visible has only increased his need to protect the community and find the limits of who he can and can’t save. With the rise of a formidable new foe, Luke is forced to confront the fine line that separates a hero from a villain.
