Filming may have officially wrapped on Marvel’s Daredevil TV show, but the rest of their Netflix empire is just kicking off.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Luke Cage – the steel-skinned street-level vigilante formerly known as Power Man – will be played by The Good Wife and The Following star Mike Colter.

Cage will initially appear as a recurring character in the Jessica Jones TV show, before spinning off into his own series and the site describes the introduction:

“During the course of an investigation in New York, private investigator Jessica Jones encounters the enigmatic Luke Cage — a man whose past has secrets that will dramatically alter Jessica herself in ways she could never have imagined.”

Daredevil will air on Netflix in 2015. You can buy Daredevil: Born Again by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli for £10.34 at Amazon.co.uk. For more on the comics that have inspired the show, pick up our 100 All-Time Greatest Comics bookazine now!
