LUKE CAGE Actor Mike Colter Wants Barack Obama To Cameo As A Villain In Season 3

As a pillar of African-American representation on television, LUKE CAGE actor Mike Colter wants to take it a step further, inviting former POTUS Barack Obama to cameo in the Marvel Netflix series.

Overall, fans seem to agree that Luke Cage season 2 is a clear Improvement over its freshman debut. The season upped the tension, character development, production design, choreography, and story, ultimately offering a more-than-worthy second outing for Harlem's hero.


The show has also delivered many memorable cameos during its years on air, including individuals within the universe (Foggy Nelson, Danny Rand), and real-life celebrities (Method Man, Jidenna). On an interview with TMZ, actor and professional dabber Mike Colter invited the most influential guest yet on the Netflix original, former President of the United States: Barack Hussein Obama.


But what is most shocking is the capacity that Colter is asking him to fill.
 

[Obama] could cameo in anything he wants to. He has an open door for anywhere he wants to go . . . We shoot in Harlem. We got a lot of good places to eat. He can come and do a cameo and we can have a bite to eat . . . He’s been a hero a long time, maybe he can be a villain this time . . . I leave that up to [showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker.]

 

Unfortunately, to achieve continuity, the politician will have to play himself, for he has been mentioned several times throughout the show as a influential part of the African-American community. Though he may not have been president in the MCU due to the Ellis Administration (shown in Iron Man 3), it would still be amazing to see the politician make an appearance on the show. In fact, the Obamas have recently signed an exclusive deal with Netflix to deliver original content, so maybe this cameo is more possible than previously thought.

@SonOfAGif - Was he really explicitly mentioned as president? I know he was brought up and all, but I genuinely can't remember if they talked about him being president.

One character did mention living to see "the first black president" on the show (if I remember correctly).

As funny as that could be, I cant see the former leader of the free world as a villain lol. That said, regarding Luke Cage season 2, one of the few gripes I had was there was no resolution to season 1s Diamondback cliffhanger. I no kanye people didnt like his character but I wanted more continuation dammit.

Well he is a real life villain. So that would make sense.

@MasterMix - It's funny how you guys have a bonafide megalomaniac as a president now but still somehow do mental gymnastics to say that Obama was the villain.

People: Oh my god, how dare you! He's perfect and you should kiss the ground he walks on!

@MasterMix - Dude, I'm not American. So I don't really care who says what about who politically. But even to us, it's obvious how completely unqualified Trump is for his position. Obama has had plenty of flaws but Trump is just on another level man. The dude had basically turned your country into a laughing stock.

@MasterMix - At least Obama tried to do good, all Trump has done is, provoke other countries, and pretty much divide the country even more with his immigration crap

@dracula - Trump doesn't divide the country. People divide the country.

Trump divides people.
Thus Trump divides the country.

Although I do appreciate the fact that you don't count Trump as people.

@Kyos - Obama divided people too. We just didn't bitch about it 24/7.

P.S. He's not people, he's a person. Plural - (of a word or form) denoting more than one, or (in languages with dual number) more than two.

“Obama divided people too. We just didn't bitch about it 24/7.” What hole did you have your head ducked in from 2009-2017?

@PicolasCage - So that I can feed off the CNN and libral media brainwashing. No thank you. I prefer to think for myself. Besides I never watch any of the stuff you mentioned. I'm trying to get away from the non stop covrege remember.

@Ragnarocknroll - based on what is painted to you by the media.. but it's okay, I understand the perception.

Well, that would be fun. But yeah, since the Obamas were refered to as an in-universe real life persons this would be tricky. Heavy makeup?

I rather enjoyed season 2 of Luke Cage, although it just kept going... every time I thought “this is leading up to the final confrontation”, there was plenty more show after it. It had a few too many rounds of characters falling low and then somehow clawing back on top only to fall yet again.

As for Obama, I;d be fine with a cameo, but really things would be better off if we didn’t think politicians and entertainers belonged in the same category. Look where that got us.
