Mike Colter hopes to reprise Luke Cage role

Mike Colter, the actor who played Luke Cage, is hopeful about returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He spoke about his dreams of reprising his role in a recent interview. This comes as Marvel is bringing back characters from Netflix's Defenders series with the new show, Daredevil: Born Again. Colter first played Luke Cage in the series Jessica Jones before starring in his own show. He was last seen in 2018 during the finale of Luke Cage. In the recent interview, he said, “I still have hopes for it. I don’t think it’s impossible. Anything can happen.” The return of Daredevil and other characters like The Punisher signals possibilities for Luke Cage's comeback. Marvel Studios has mentioned they are open to bringing back more Defenders characters, and based on Colter’s popularity, it seems likely he could return. After Netflix canceled all its Marvel shows between 2018 and 2019, the rights to these characters returned to Marvel after a waiting period. Now, Marvel is looking to integrate them into the larger MCU. The plot of Daredevil: Born Again provides a backdrop for Luke Cage’s return. The storyline includes Wilson Fisk, who has become the mayor of New York City, promoting anti-vigilante policies that directly affect heroes like Luke Cage. Marvel executives are actively discussing the return of more Defenders characters. With new episodes of Daredevil: Born Again airing weekly on Disney+, fans are eager to see if Luke Cage will join the MCU once again.
