Showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker has revealed the titles to the first three episodes of Marvel's Luke Cage. Coker revealed the titles on Twitter and says more titles will be revealed each Friday up until the series premiere on Netflix on Sept. 30. The episodes titles are 'Moment of Truth" for episode one, "Code of The Streets" for episode 2, and "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?" for episode 3.

At Comic-Con International: San Diego 2016, Coker revealed that every episode of Marvel's Luke Cage will be named after a song by rap duo Gang Starr. So far he's living up to that promise. "Moment of Truth" is a song from the 1998 album of the same name, "Code of the Streets" is off the 1994 album Hard to Earn, and "Who's Gonna Take the Weight?" is from the 1991 album Step in the Arena.

Marvel's Luke Cage is the third Netflix series building up to the Marvel's Defenders crossover event, following Marvel's Daredevil and Marvel's Jessica Jones and ahead ofMarvel's Iron Fist. Colter will star as Cage, an ex-convict who whose skin was made unbreakable by a science experiment. After his bar in Hell's Kitchen was destroyed during the events of Marvel's Jessica Jones Season 1, Cage is making his way into Harlem. He'll try to make the neighborhood a safer place while steering clear of the police himself.

Marvel's Luke Cage also stars Mahershala Ali, Alfre Woodard, Simone Missick, Theo Rossi, Frank Whaley, and Sônia Braga. The series is produced by Marvel Television in association with ABC Studios and is being developed by Cheo Hodari Coker, who will also serve as showrunner.
