Marvel Television and Netflix have revealed the new key art poster for Marvel's Luke Cage. The poster was designed and created by famed artist and Marvel chief creative officer Joe Quesada, and will be available at the Marvel booth at San Diego Comic-Con 2016.

"There's always great pressure with superhero posters," Quesada tells TV Insider. "You've got one shot to encapsulate a character with a pose that's provocative and that you hope will someday be iconic."

Cage will be played by Mike Colter, who made his debut as the character in Marvel's Jessica Jones one Netflix in 2015. "Mike gives Luke a smoldering strength," Quesada says. "He's sexy and calming. And the ladies love it."

Check out the full poster below.

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 of Marvel'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.

The entire Marvel's Luke Cage series will be released on Netflix on September 30, 2016.
