The new videos show Mike Colter aka Luke Cage in a hoodie riddled with bullet holes. This is the same jacket he wore for another Marvel-Netflix series The Defenders. The filming for Luke Cage season 2 is currently going on in Brooklyn's Crown Heights neighbourhood.
Luke Cage will be directed by Elementary helmer Lucy Liu. Praising her role as a director, Luke Cage executive producer Jeph Loeb stated, "When you're dealing with a bulletproof man, it helps if you have a bulletproof director. Lucy brings a keen eye, a superb sense of story, and an obvious love of actors. She is rocking Luke Cage 2."
As per a report by BuzzFeed, Lucy Liu said working with such a passionate and fearless team is an honour. "What a thrill to collaborate with Marvel and Netflix, two industry titans, who paint our world with inspiring stories and beguiling characters," Liu said.
