Marvel’s Netflix series ‘Luke Cage’ is premiering September 30
Luke Cage got itself a premiere date, right at the swollen tip of September’s nipple. Clinging onto the month for dear life. Begging for it to feed it bread and butter and let it live there. September will reluctantly say yes.
If you’re like us, you’re already planning to spend next weekend in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen — or rather, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s grim and gritty version of New York’s Hell’s Kitchen — as Daredevil returns for its second season on Netflix. But also if you’re like us, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll finish the whole thing in one go, and that Sunday night will find you blearily demanding to know when you can expect your next Netflix-Marvel fix.
Well, the good news is that we can tell you right now. We’ve long know that Luke Cage, Netflix’s third MCU series, would premiere sometime this year, and now star Mike Colter has officially announced a premiere date.
Colter spilled the beans during a red carpet interview at the premiere of Daredevil season 2. “Well, I’ll just say this. It’s going to be action-packed from the beginning to the very end. Trust me,” he said when asked what fans could expect next from his character. “Daredevil premieres March 18 and I will see the fans on September 30. You heard it here first.” (You can watch the full video here; Luke Cage talk begins at the 2:09 mark.)
