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

Joi is the first featured artist to perform at Harlem’s Paradise in season 2 and she makes a big impression with an enormous feathered collar and Cockroach’s description of her as “svelte… thick and thin at the same time.” D-Nice and Donald Harrison also perform at the club. Read more…

‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 totally nails how New York City would treat a superhero

TwitterFacebook

One of the coolest things about Netflix’s Marvel series is that it takes its New York City setting very seriously. The characters live at believable addresses, walk down identifiable streets, and even the little incongruities that would make an IRL New Yorker squint — Matt Murdock being able to afford a massive studio apartment while building a law practice from the ground up, for example — have in-universe explanations (only a blind person would put up with a glowing Midtown billboard shining in their window every night). 

But New York City is more than a collection of neighborhoods. It’s the people who live there, and Luke Cage Season 2 is the first Marvel series that totally nails the way real New Yorkers would react to having a known superhero in their midst.  Read more…

‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 does the impossible and makes Iron Fist kind of awesome

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. Why, asked the Marvel-loving masses, why does Danny Rand need to show up in Luke Cage? The answer, surprisingly enough, is to make one final argument that Danny Rand is a likable character. And amazingly…it works.  Read more…

‘Luke Cage’ Season 2 trailer introduces quite the villain

TwitterFacebook

Harlem finally has its hero, but he might not be ready for fame. In the full trailer for Luke Cage Season 2, we find our bulletproof hero (Mike Colter) taking selfies on the street and getting all kinds of press for his actions – until a new villain manages to get in a punch that rattles that thick skin.

Luke’s new nemesis has super strength too, and yes, that extends to bulletproof skin. Fighting him brings out a brutality in Luke, but he still needs all the help he can get from Claire (Rosario Dawson) and Misty Knight (Simone Missick) – as long as she’s not a sidekick. Alfre Woodard reprises her role as Mariah Dillard, who is fed up of Harlem’s knights and kings – when what it really needs is a queen. Read more…

You can’t break Luke Cage, so don’t even try.

Marvel’s bulletproof hero is back in a matter of months, as revealed in a new Netflix teaser.

“I’m Luke Cage,” our hero declares in the brief teaser. “You can’t burn me, you can’t blast me, and you definitely can’t break me. You wanna test me? Step up. I’m right here.”

It would seem that Harlem’s reluctant hero is finally willing to accept the mantle that comes with his abilities. He’s a familiar face in his neighborhood and in the city at large after The Defenders, so expect a very different Luke Cage in the upcoming season. Read more…
