Mike Colter’s Latest Comments On Luke Cage Are Giving Me Hope He’ll Return To The MCU

by

Back in 2019, it looked like the Marvel shows that used to be on Netflix were finished. All of them had been cancelled, with the final seasons of Jessica Jones and The Punisher already released, and many thought this part of the Marvel universe would be forgotten. However, things have changed a lot since then. Movies like Spider-Man: No Way Home and shows like Hawkeye, She-Hulk: Attorney At Law, and the new Daredevil: Born Again have brought back familiar heroes and villains. We’ve already seen Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Vincent D’Onofrio as Kingpin, Wilson Bethel as Bullseye, and Jon Bernthal as The Punisher return, and Krysten Ritter will reprise her role as Jessica Jones in Season 2 of Daredevil: Born Again. This raises the question: will Mike Colter be back as Luke Cage in a future Marvel project?

We haven’t received any official confirmation that Mike Colter will return to play Luke Cage, Marvel’s iconic hero from Harlem, but the actor’s recent statements hint that his time in the role might not be over. Colter recently appeared on the podcast “Shawn Stockman’s On That Note,” and when asked about potentially reprising the role, he didn’t dismiss the idea. He mentioned he’s been having conversations with people about it, telling the host…

I’ve had discussions on this matter, and I’ll stop there. I’ve spoken with people about it.

Who these conversations were with remains a mystery. It’s safe to say he wasn’t discussing Luke Cage’s return with his wife – that would be technically true, but still deceptive. This suggests either a return is being planned, or he’s simply expressed his willingness to reprise the role to someone at Marvel. It’s too early to get excited, though.

Many fans would love to see Mike Colter reprise his role as Luke Cage. His show ended on a cliffhanger in 2018, with Luke taking over Harlem’s Paradise and becoming a key figure in the city’s criminal underworld, and viewers have been hoping for a continuation ever since.

Mike Colter knows the story of Luke Cage isn’t finished. Despite staying active with roles in shows like Evil and films such as Plane (with Gerard Butler) since the Netflix series ended, he remains a big Marvel fan and wants to revisit his role as the heroic Luke Cage. He shared this during a recent podcast interview.

I really appreciate the fans and that whole community. It’s been a while now, and while I’ve been working on other things, I’ve realized I still have something I want to accomplish there.

Fans are excited about the return of Marvel’s Netflix heroes to the MCU. Not only is a new season of Daredevil: Born Again—featuring Jessica Jones—on the way, but a Punisher special is also planned, and Jon Bernthal is set to reprise his role in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
