Looking forward to seeing John McIver (Bushmaster/Power Master) and Tilda Johnson (Doctor/Deadly Nightshade) in Luke Cage season 2.

I didn't even know they were filming yet. Looking forward to it though. This is coming after Jessica Jones season 2, right? So I guess we'll have to wait until somewhere around November again, since the Netflix shows are releasing in 6 month intervals. Not too stoked on all that waiting, but I hope it'll be worth it. Luke Cage is easily the best solo Netflix series of the Marvel characters so far. The other ones have had some major pacing problems.

Season 2 finished filming in November.

No plot details have been released.

Alfre Woodard's Mariah Dillard is returning and Claire Temple is returning as Cage lover interest.

Shades is returning. Shade partner in crime Comanche (who is now also out of Seagate prison) will also be back with a expanded role.

Finn Jones's Danny Rand/Iron Fist will guest star for a few episodes as well. Colter said they are going to expand on the relationship between the characters from Defenders.

Character details for the Netflix MCU version of Bushmaster and Nightshade is

John McIver, described by Marvel Television and Netflix as “a natural leader, brimming with charisma, whose mission is focused on Harlem and vengeance,”

Tilda Johnson, “a brilliant, holistic doctor with a complicated history in Harlem where, as much as she tries to stay far from trouble, it seems to always find her.”

Luke Cage #170

Final issue! CAGED PART 5! Luke is home at last, and all he wants to do is read a bedtime story to his little girl, Danielle. But is there something more to this fairy-tale than meets the eye?

I didn't expect to like this story, as it became immediately evident that all 20 pages would be a make believe fairy tale. Especially, given Danielle's rapid aging mocking the sliding timescale. But... it ended up being quite a charming issue. And Luke and Jess' love for their child and empathy for her state of distress was heartfelt.

MY QUESTION: What relation is Astrid to David F.Walker who reveals her as inspiration for this tale???

I imagined Astrid was his daughter or niece etc.

I just read Luke Cage #1 and was wondering if they kept the cover artist from it on. This thread has shown me they have and I'm stoked. I loved that art! I will be looking for more issues now!Screenshot 2018-02-26 22.53.32.jpg Not only is the book a great read, but those covers are worth the price on their own! https://sirmarkussite.wordpress.com/...d-luke-cage-1/

I hope Sciorra (Annabella) doesn't just channel a generic Sopranos caricature. Alfrie Woodard set a high bar for a female show villain.
