10. Luke Cage Season 2's Potential Villain

With production about to start on Luke Cage Season 2, a couple of casting calls have gotten out (via MCU Exchange), which hint towards who we can expect to see in the second run:

"Byron: 30 – 45, 6’0 or taller, Jamaican, but open to Black Caribbean or African Descent. The smartest man any room, the most effortlessly powerful man in any situation. A natural leader, brimming with resentment, but focused on justice. Physically fit and wildly intelligent. Speaks with a native accent from Jamaica / Caribbean / Africa, etc. SERIES REGULAR"

"Tamara: mid-20’s – early 30’s, African American, female, earthy. A brilliant, confident business owner who prides herself on her independence.. As much as she tries to stay far from trouble, it seems to always find her. ACTORS MUST BE STRONG SINGERS. SERIES REGULAR"

As MCU Exchange speculates, Tamara could be Luke Cage's sister, a gender-swapped version of the character James Lucas Jr., brother of Carl (aka Luke).

As for Byron, they believe it could be the villain Bushmaster, aka John McIver (or Quincy McIver, his nephew who later takes on the name), who willingly undergoes an experiment like Luke's, has had big clashes with the likes of Power-Man and Misty Knight, and, er, gets a snake tail (in a later iteration, anyway).
