Exclusive: While promoting PlaneMovie, Mike Colter discussed the possibility of reprising Luke Cage in the MCU following Charlie Cox's Daredevil and Vincent D'Onofrio's Kingpin: 'If they call me, we'll talk.' 🙇
Mike Colter discusses whether he would like to reprise his role as Luke Cage in the MCU following the return of Charlie Cox's Daredevil. Luke Cage was introduced as part of Netflix's line-up of Marvel series, debuting in Jessica Jones before starring in his own series and The Defenders team-up series.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant promoting his new movie, Plane, Mike Colter addressed the possibility of reprising Luke Cage in the MCU. Colter expresses his happiness for Cox, knowing how passionate he is about Daredevil, and his appreciation for the opportunity to play Luke Cage. He also admits there is potentially more story to tell for Luke Cage, but is unsure about whether he'd be involved in any further exploration of the character.
Mike Colter: I'm sure there's tons [more to do]. I mean, we didn't beat a dead horse there. We had more to do. But that's Marvel's character. I look at it as I had a good chance to play that role, and then it's their character. They can do whatever they want with it, and good luck. If they call me, we'll talk.character. But I had a good run. I was really appreciative of the opportunity, but I'd like to focus and just try other things.
If Daredevil: Born Again proves successful, it could lead to the return of other Marvel Netflix characters like Frank Castle, aka The Punisher, Luke Cage, and Jessica Jones. With Cox crediting the "Save Daredevil" fan campaign for his return, it could mean that if fans express their desire to see the original actors reprise their roles, it could prompt Marvel to take a look.
There are many opportunities for The Defenders to return in upcoming MCU projects, both on the big screen and on Disney Plus. Colter, like Cox and D'Onofrio, would be a fantastic actor to bring back into the Marvel fold. His ability to embody the physicality of the role while balancing vulnerability, comedy, and charisma brought Cage to life on screen.
