Theo Rossi Reveals What Fans Should Expect From Luke Cage Season 2

All eyes are on Netflix and Marvel's Defenders series, but Luke Cage fans are still dealing with the ending of season 1 and want details for the upcoming season 2.

With that in mind actor Theo Rossi, who plays the calm and collected Shades, spoke to ET about what fans can expect from season 2. Rossi expects great things, both for the show and his character, who experienced quite the rise in season 1.

"I felt like I had one of the greatest journeys of a villain in the Marvel [universe], because he was the guy you never saw coming. It just took a couple episodes for people to kind of take notice of that."

Cage's current predicament will inform much of the early episodes in season 2, and Rossi believes that the show's penchant for unpredictability will continue in the show's sophomore season.

"I don't think I've ever seen a Marvel show where the good guy gets carted off to jail and the bad guys are sitting there notorious at the end," the actor continued, musing about the end of season one. "I think that's why it made Luke Cage so successful, that it was very unpredictable. And I think that Shades – you had all these big villains and all these people that looked like they were the top dog and they all kept getting taken out, while he just keeps moving up -- he's like a cerebral assassin."

Shades has managed to handle Alfre Woodard's Mariah Dillard in season 1, taking advantage of her rage towards her brother. In season 2 he expects great things from the duo, saying "it's such a devious and cool relationship."

Luke Cage director Cheo Hodari Coker previously spoke about potential plans for Season 2, teasing a fan favorite comic team-up in the process.

"Now in my mind — we don't go into Heroes for Hire in Season One of Luke Cage — Luke Cage Season One is ultimately about the evolution of a hero. I think what's appealing about Luke is the fact that he's just somebody who's just your normal, average guy. He presents himself that way. He's not pretentious, but then at the same time, feels a responsibility to kind of push forward. We're not treating it as a one-off, and I'm confident people will dig the show, but, trust me, like Season Two, I've got a few ideas. But we really won't get ready until Netflix sees the viewership, and hopefully, the subscriptions that will come from this show, and then they'll say, "Let's get into it."

Guess fans will just have to wait and see.
