Now, one Marvel actor said his missing hero is about to return. While speaking to Michael Rosenbaum on the Inside of You podcast, Mike Colter said his Luke Cage is coming back to the MCU and will be part of Daredevil: Born Again. “I’ve had discussions with Marvel, and I do think that it’s very, very likely that I will come back at some point, but I don’t know when. But I think I will,” Colter said. “Maybe there’s some stuff we could do that’s different from the last time. I’m kind of open to that now.”
Mike Colter’s Luke Cage Could Have a Huge MCU Future
Luke Cage finished his run on Netflix as the street-level hero became the new “sheriff” of Harlem, and while there were people who worried he would become a villain in the role, that will not happen. If anything, he should have found himself in the crosshairs of Wilson Fisk, who has become the Mayor of New York and started a war against vigilantes. With Jessica Jones back, Luke Cage almost surely has to arrive as well.
There are so many directions this could go in Daredevil: Born Again. The biggest comes straight from the comics. When Wilson Fisk became the Mayor of New York City in the comics, he found one direct nemesis. Luke Cage stopped acting as a vigilante and instead ran for the mayor’s position against Fisk. There might not be a better endgame for the Disney+ series than seeing an actual vigilante become the new mayor and not only outing Fisk but also disbanding and ordering the prosecution of his mercenary police officers.
