Mike Coulter Is Open To Playing Luke Cage Again In The MCU

In 2015, Mike Colter entered the MCU as Luke Cage in a supporting role in Jessica Jones Season 1 before starring in his own Netflix series in 2016. However, the Luke Cage series was cut short after only two seasons, and Colter hasn’t reprised the role since his guest appearance in Iron Fist Season 2 in 2018. Now that Daredevil: Born Again has paved the way for the former Marvel Netflix series to make a comeback, Colter is open to reprising his role on Disney+.

“I would love to explore it, if they found some story, some way, somewhere, to take it,” Colter told ComicBook.com. “And I’m happy that Charlie Cox and those are getting it rebooted, but I don’t have any [idea if Luke Cage is getting rebooted]. I’m not holding anything back.”

Colter also shared his thoughts about the initial attempt to make Born Again a reboot of the Daredevil TV series rather than a direct continuation of what came before.

When asked about the decision to formally place the former Netflix Marvel shows in the MCU, Colter replied “I think that’s the right move. They should have never tried [to reboot it]. No, no, I don’t know what that was about. I’m like, ‘Well, yeah, duh,’ It was not broke, so don’t fix it.”

Since the end of Luke Cage, Colter has starred in Evil on CBS and Paramount+. The final season of that series will wrap up its run later this month.
