One of the big introductions in the trailer was that of Simone Missick, who'll be playing the character of Misty Knight.

She's a police detective with a strong sense of justice, and a particular interest in Luke Cage. It seems she's going to be very much drawn into the brewing conflict in Harlem, and also into Cage's life on a romantic level - the scene of the pair in the street (pictured above) from around the time of their first meeting, which was shown at Comic-Con and ends up in some steaminess between the two (Luke Cage is going to be getting quite the reputation).

How much of a romantic interest she will be remains to be seen (it may not be that much, since she'll be in Iron Fist as well), but of more interest is how she fits into the show overall as a detective, and particularly if/when/how she'll end up with the bionic arm she has in the comics?
