One of the many characters fans are really excited to see appear on-screen in Luke Cage is Misty Knight, a detective who works closely with both Cage and Iron Fist.

Simone Missick is playing the role, and it was revealed at Comic-Con that the producers knew she was the right person for the role as soon as she auditioned, and that they didn't need to see anyone else.

It was also revealed that when we first meet her character, she'll be undercover, and it won't be apparent at first that it is Misty Knight. She'll be wearing a sparkly blue dress, and trying to catch the eye of Luke Cage - something she successfully manages, with the pair said to be sharing a steamy scene together.
