Never heard of him before, but good to have a Luke Cage

Following an extensive casting search, The Following and The Good Wife alum Mike Colter has officially nabbed the sought-after role, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Since Escape Goat has no imagination!

No, it's the Halo: Nightfall guy.

BY2K · Dec 22, 2014

He plays Locke in Halo: Nightfall.

enzo_gt · Dec 22, 2014

Needs more veins popping out of every part of his body.

tl;dr: whens Terry Crews

NYCmetsfan · Dec 22, 2014

looks like he has to bulk up according to the OPs picture. But I think its a good pick.

ItIsOkBro · Dec 22, 2014

he looks like the guy you'd go to when you couldn't get terry crews.

and The Good Wife guy.

George Oscar Bluth II · Dec 22, 2014

Cool. Says he'll first appear in AKA Jessica Jones.

Slayven · Dec 22, 2014

Terry Crews is too old. But he can play Biushmaster

ivysaur12 · Dec 22, 2014

I started enjoying it on syndication but it got yanked.

Dongs Macabre · Dec 22, 2014

Locke Cage?

Akahige · Dec 22, 2014

Never heard of him.

Will they call the show Luke Cage? Or Hero for Hire?

Works for me. Hope they do a good job. I'm sure they will. It's marvel.

spindashing · Dec 22, 2014

Nice!

Snake · Dec 22, 2014

He's top notch on The Good Wife. I have no complaints.

Ithil · Dec 22, 2014

Have not seen him in anything, so I cannot speak to his acting, but he has the look

see5harp · Dec 22, 2014

I suppose they could have gone with Robert Pattinson or something so I guess I should be grateful.

CountBlack · Dec 22, 2014

That's not Idris Elba

Fantastic choice.

Nah, too busy playing the new James Bond.

Sorry they are saving him for Thor 3.

Slayven · Dec 22, 2014

Now to wait for Funky Papa to show up and wonder who will play the weirdo Cage rogues.

Mairu · Dec 22, 2014

I like him in The Good Wife

mjc · Dec 22, 2014

This is good, this is damn good.

PorygonVandal · Dec 22, 2014

The article in Marvel.com is funnier

Colter is currently starring in the PlayStation Networks original series Halo: Nightfall

Zen_Arcade · Dec 22, 2014

I hope he says Sweet Christmas at some point during this series. He has to, right?

Unfortunately I haven't seen him act in anything either.

Stinkles · Dec 22, 2014

Ur welcome, PlayStation canary yellow silk shirt fans.

Ps if you told twelve year old Stinkles he would one day befriend Luke Cage, he'd have fainted.

D i Z · Dec 22, 2014

I approve. My only concern is if he could bulk up enough to fill the illusion of being physically imposing ( he's got almost all of the height and is in great shape, just not the bulk ) .
Standing next to his usual comrades, he's quite massive.

Shaanyboi · Dec 22, 2014

I can dig it

Hours Left · Dec 22, 2014

Handsome.

He'll need to bulk up tho.

RatskyWatsky · Dec 22, 2014

Very nice choice! Can't wait to see who the cast as Iron Fist.

Pai Pai Master · Dec 22, 2014

Very solid choice for an awesome role. Can't wait to see who they get for Danny.

I try not to judge ones acting range and ability from a single performance so i will withhold judgement but he was absolutely terrible in Halo: Nightfall.

richiek · Dec 22, 2014

I wonder how Colter's chemistry with Krysten Ritter will be like for the series.

I knew it, 343 is secretely working for Sony

GuitarAtomik · Dec 22, 2014

This was basically confirmed when they announced Jessica Jones casting. Great to see it's official. Really good pick.

Miles Quaritch · Dec 22, 2014

As I've maintained since watching Power, it should have been Omari Hardwick.

Korten · Dec 22, 2014

xD Hopefully they correct that...

But anyway good news! Though do we know when Jessica Jones and Luke Cage are set to start filming?

Unimportant to his character. What we need is a hint of who will play Danny. If the chemistry is off with those two you my as ell scrap the entire MCU.

I get Heroes for Hire and the whole Danny Rand bromance thing but you can't honestly say Jessica Jones is unimportant to Cage's character especially considering the last decade of character development.
