If I had my way, it’d be September 30th already, and we’d all be watching Luke Cage right now. Sadly, I can’t bend the space-time continuum just yet, so we’ll have to make do in the meantime with some more hints from Mike Colter, who discussed the Netflix series with Comic Book Resources at the red carpet premiere of Civil War. Colter told fans to expect complexity from the series’ characters: “The moral ambiguity of a lot of my characters, that’s who we are in real life. Anybody who I meet who is always good? That worries me. That just worries me. I need somebody to give me both sides. You can’t be all good all the time […] It’s just common sense.” You can read more of the interview over on Comic Book Resources.
