The Final Trailer For ‘Luke Cage’ Is Here And Luke Is Chuckin’ Some Henchmen

Luke Cage is shaping up to be, based on what we’ve seen, a very different Marvel series, from the title hero played by Mike Colter to the score. And now we’ve got a new trailer that lays out exactly what Luke’s up to in his first season.

Mostly, it appears to be getting shot at while figuring out his place in the community. Also it doesn’t look like shooting Luke is such a great idea, considering how many people he throws, kicks, punches, and otherwise manhandles in the course of this trailer. But the trailer does offer some insight into Luke’s street level heroics, especially a hilarious bit at the end where we learn just how the man gets his hoodies. He even drops a “Sweet Christmas!” as a throwback to his ’70s comics.

We also get more of a sense of Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) and his grip on Harlem. Cottonmouth makes it clear early on that he’s not the Kingpin, at least in his management tactics, which are a bit more hands-on. Misty Knight also finally gets some screentime, and appears, for now, to be working for the NYPD. We’ll see how they all fit in come Friday when the full series debuts on Netflix.
