When Mariah Dillard’s apartment went up in flames and Luke Cage rescued her, she croaked four words that made Marvel fans all over the world perk up: “I’m going to hire you.”

The Luke Cage of Luke Cage may have bristled at the idea that his impenetrable skin and superhuman strength were something that could be bought.

Luke Cage‘s setting in Harlem, a neighborhood famous for its musical history, gives the show a perfect opportunity to feature some of the African American’s community’s best musicians and artists. 

Season 1 set a precedent with guests like Method Man and Jidenna, but Season 2 upped the ante by inviting more legends to perform at Harlem’s Paradise and otherwise. This is everyone who showed up in the second season. 

Episode 1 — Joi, Donald Harrison, D-Nice

Warning! This article contains spoilers for Luke Cage Season 2.

When the news dropped that Finn Jones would reprise his role as Danny Rand, A.K.A Iron Fist in Luke Cage Season 2, the internet was less than enthused. 

Jones’s solo show was the worst-reviewed of all of Marvel’s Netflix offerings after its premiere in 2017, and the character’s co-starring appearance in The Defenders did little to endear him to audiences that preferred fan favorites like Jessica Jones and Daredevil.
