According to Deadline, Alfre Woodard has been cast in a major role in the upcoming Netflix series. Woodard‘s character is named “Minetta, a powerful woman in local politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life.” However, the site speculates that this may be a version of Black Mariah, a Marvel villain from the comics.
