Marvel Television, ABC Studios, and Netflix have released a new photo of Mike Colter as Luke Cage in the upcoming Marvel's Luke Cage television series. Colter made his debut as Luke Cage in Marvel's Jessica Jones, which was the second Marvel series to be released on the Netflix streaming service.

Earlier this week, Marvel and Netflix revealed a San Diego Comic-Con 2016 poster for Marvel's Luke Cage. Created by famed comic book artist and Marvel Chief Creative Officer Joe Quesada, the poster will be available at the Marvel booth at San Diego Comic-Con, July 20-24, 2016. The show will also be featured at a Comic-Con panel.

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.
