Mike Colter Discusses Luke Cage's Possible Advisory Role In THE DEFENDERS
The first season of Marvel's Luke Cage has come and gone, but it's a good thing we know that Harlem's hero will be making his return in Marvel's The Defenders, and it looks like he has some wisdom to share.
Marvel and Netflix's Luke Cage has taken over the internet this past weekend with the release of its first season, and fans can't wait to see what the Power Man (Mike Colter) has in store when he returns in 2017 for Marvel's The Defenders. The hero has already had a run in with Jessica Jones (Krysten Ritter), establishing a brief romantic relationship, but he has yet to meet the Devil of Hell's Kitchen and the Young Dragon. Of course, when the four heroes eventually do team-up, Luke Cage might not want to take on a leadership role just yet.
"Luke comes with a certain amount of emotional depth," Mike Coulter told Variety. "As a black man in today’s culture, what he represents and what he’s dealing with in his own life — being a fugitive on the run but being innocent, but at the same time not feeling sorry for himself — he’s always thinking about the community, and thinking about things in a larger sense in his life. He wants more than just this thing that he’s doing now — it was kind of thrust upon him. He’s very thoughtful about his actions. He has no agenda with his powers. He’s seen what helping out leads to; he doesn’t see the point. It never ends well. He doesn’t have a costume, he doesn’t have a mask, everybody knows who he is. So I think he brings a certain gravitas that says, “I don’t want to rush to judgment about anyone. I don’t want to do anything until we just talk about this, because everything has a consequence.” I see him as the consigliere of the group."
Do you think Luke Cage should be the one in charge of The Defenders?
