And judging by this trailer to head our way from out of San Diego Comic-Con, it looks like we&#8217;re going to get them.<\/p>\n<p>While it&#8217;s thin on additional plot details, it does feature a number of great money shots: Cage (Mike Colter) ripping off a car door to use as a shield while he barges into a house and makes short work of its inhabitants, bullets bouncing off him all the while, before rounding things off by facing up to crime lord Cornell &#8216;Cottonmouth&#8217; Stokes (Mahershala Ali), all set to the backing music of ODB&#8217;s &#8216;Shimmy Shimmy Ya&#8217;.
