Marvel's Luke Cage: 10 Things That Must Happen In Season 2

6. Matt Coming In To Help With Legal Matters

If there was any one character that was name dropped the most throughout season one of Luke Cage, it would have to be Matt Murdock. Only referred to as Claire's 'lawyer friend' throughout the show, it's rather obvious that the venerable Devil of Hell's Kitchen is being positioned to interact with Luke sooner rather than later.

I don't know about you, but I've been clamouring for a moment where Matt defends a fellow superhero for ages now. In fact, it's one of my most anticipated things regarding the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, since there's nothing more awesome than a superhero courtroom drama. Nothing I say. Nothing.

Of course it's naff that Foggy isn't with Matt anymore, but even one half of Nelson & Murdock instantly amplifies the brilliance of any given show. He may just be one avocado at law, but he's still plenty to help clear Luke's name.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
