We were, if we're honest, already quite prepared to watch Marvel and Netflix's latest collaboration, Luke Cage based solely off the literally hard-hitting Comic-Con teaser. But here's the full trailer for the series to give you a little extra taste before it arrives next month.
Having met Mike Colter's troubled Luke in Jessica Jones, here we get a deep dive into his world instead of just seeing him intersect with hers. As the ex-con fights crime and navigates the tricky street politics of New York's Harlem, we also explore his back story, including the experiment that both saved his life but left him forever changed.
We also get to meet some of the people who will impact Luke's life both positively and negatively, including barber shop owner and Harlem legend Pop (Frankie Faison), villain Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes (Mahershala Ali), ambitious politician Mariah Dillard (Alfre Woodard), quick-witted cop Misty Knight (Simone Missick) and bad sort shades (Theo Rossi). Oh, and of course Luke's path will again cross with that of Defenders stalwart Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), who fills in a little of her own family story.
As the trailers so far have suggested, music plays an important part in the new series, so we're hoping for a soundtrack release. Luke Cage hits Netflix on September 30.
