Luke Cage Will Have Power When He Appears In AKA Jessica Jones

Mike Colter was doing press for his upcoming home video release of Halo: Nightfall when he was asked about his next project, playing Luke Cage in the upcoming Netflix series Marvel's A.K.A. Jessica Jones.

When asked what he could reveal about the upcoming role, Colter said:

Marvel actually gives you a special training class in how not to say too much in interviews [laughs]. We're in the middle of shooting AKA Jessica Jones and Luke Cage is a very interesting character who just happens to have super strength and unbreakable skin. He's a neighbourhood hero, very much linked to New York and Jessica Jones. It's all part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe but Luke Cage is a darker, grittier, more tangible character than Iron Man or Thor. He likes to keep things close to his chest, operate on the hush-hush. He has these abilities but he's not sure how and when to use them. He's a very nuanced character.

His Marvel classes on not revealing may not have gone well as we now know that Cage will have his powers as the series begins. A.K.A. Jessica Jones will debut later this year and then lead into a Luke Cage series on Netflix as well.
