Forgot to highlight this part before:
Really want to see what they cook up with Iron Fist.Jessica Jones debuted last year to critical hosannas praising its embrace of diverse points of view, with storylines centered around people we dont always see represented on TV. Colters buzzed-about characterization of Cage provided an unexpected anchor of that triumphsuddenly, a solo Cage series was on the fast track. According to Coker, Marvel and Netflix had originally slated martial arts superhero Iron Fist as the next character from the Defendersa loose federation bringing together Marvels more street-level heroes like Daredevil, Jones, and Cageto get his own series. Coker had worked up a treatment capturing his vision for the show that was turning heads; meanwhile, Colter had proven a popular breakout on Jessica Jones. For once, the internet pretty much agreed: No one could play Cage better than him. Marvel went from, Were gonna take our time to Lets flip it and do Luke Cage first, Coker says. Weve got this great concept and this guy is leaping off the screen, lets follow the momentum.
If you watched The Wire, he was Cheese:
He was also in OZ as Tug.
What time EST is this starting? Midnight?

who is the villain in this show?
Cottonmouth
Cottonmouth
I really hope they don't have give him powers or anything by the end of the series. Does Cottonmouth have powers in the comics?It'll be refreshing to see a non-superhuman villain for a guy who has a legit super power.
Daredevil has super hearing, but other than that, he's just a regular dude.

Definitely. Kind of why I like more grounded takes like thisYeah, but I'm hoping they go a different route.
Cottonmouth #1 had super strength to be able to pose a threat to Cage.
Cottonmouth #2 had super surgery.
The thing is, though, that television is a medium where you can have a character like Cottonmouth exert power without having powers. Comics kind of restrict that.
Please have no powers. Please have no powers.

Curious if there will be any cameos. Kingpin in Daredevil S2 was unexpected, so it'll be interesting to see if any other heroes or villains pop up, or if they do any set-up for Iron Fist
It takes place after Jessica Jones, but its all about Lukes perspective.
The super-strong, nearly indestructible Luke Cage showed up as a butt-kicker and love interest during the first season of Jessica Jones, alongside series star Krysten Ritter. Yet, while Luke Cage will build on that foundation, it will be told through his perspective. It doesnt take away from the Luke you meet in Jessica Jones, but were telling a different story, Coker says. At the same time, Im hoping people who see the show that like Luke from Jessica Jones like what weve done in expanding the character.
It draws on all sorts of Marvel Comics traditions.
Coker says Brian Michael Bendiss Alias comics have inspired the look of this Luke Cage, while much of the characters origin story on the show comes directly from the 1972 comic Luke Cage, Hero for Hire No. 1. The showrunner, though, says a variety of Marvel Comics from Chris Claremont and Frank Millers Wolverine to X-Men comics in general helped him develop his skills as a writer and dramatist in the televsion world. He says the issue-by-issue run in a comic book story line works well for TV. Thats kind of the way you structure the season, Coker says.
I'm ready for this show. For international Netflix users: does new content release locally at 1200 am or is it 1200 am US Pacific globally?
Punisher is in this?!?
Justice may be blind, but tomorrow it becomes unbreakable.
That would be my guess too. There is enough space and time between shots for credits.Title sequence maybe?
It's pretty good, but didn't quite draw me in like DD or JJ's title sequence.
Daredevil's intro is one of my favourite from all television shows.
I'm really excited for this show. I just hope that Cage's powers are more consistent than JJ's were in Jessica Jones. In JJ she would be lifting up a car in one episode and then struggling to fight bodyguards in the next. It was a really strange disconnect for me.
Still amazed at how good he was. Good writing, good acting, dude had presence. He doesn't need to pop up in Cage, but damn I'll be fistpumping if he does.
