Luke Cage Season 2 Trailer Reactions: 6 Ups & 2 Downs

By James Hunt / May 7, 2018

4. A New Luke Cage

Although charismatic, the Luke Cage of Season 1 kept something of a lower profile, and was certainly an honourable, purely good guy.

He's not turned bad by any means, but this trailer really showcases a new side to him. He's a lot cockier and smugger than we're used to, and he's far more relaxed in his role as Harlem's protector.

Mike Colter gives the character a newfound swagger which, given he's bulletproof, seems fairly reasonable, and it allows his charisma to shine through a bit more. That said, later in the trailer there are some more hints of his vulnerabilities, suggesting we should see a more nuanced performance too.
