Welcome to the Legion!

The next superhero series from Marvel/Netflix is Luke Cage, and today we have a new featurette. Luke is a man with unbreakable skin and has headed up to Harlem to start a new life for himself. If you watched seasons 1 and 2 of Daredevil, and season 1 of Jessica Jones, you know that this is leading up to The Defenders, which will showcase all the NYC superheroes, including the upcoming Ironfist.

In the featurette, we learn about “the guy with the hoodie,” Luke Cage (Mike Coulter) and what brought him to this place. He’s a reluctant hero who just wants to be left alone. That is, until he learns about how the villain Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) is running Harlem. He’s called back into service with a little help from Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), who you remember from the earlier series.

Check out the featurette below and let us know what you think. Luke Cage will premiere in its entirety on September 30. Stay tuned to Legion of Leia for our recap/reviews!
