With the aforementioned

Daredevil

returning March 18,

Luke Cage

would seem to fill the Netflix/Marvel quota for 2016. As Netflix boss Ted Sarandos said in January, “It’s not the goal to put out more than one or two a year,” given the motion-picture quality of each series.

Marvel TV boss Jeph Loeb told

Adweek

that following

Luke Cage

‘s debut,

Iron Fist

Season 1,

Jessica Jones

Season 2 or the team-up series

The Defenders

are among the candidates to be next in queue.

Among

Luke Cage

‘s supporting cast,

House of Cards

‘ Mahershala Ali will play night club owner Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes,

Sons of Anarchy

‘s Theo Rossi is career criminal/Luke Cage nemesis Shades (AKA Alvarez), Alfre Woodard has been cast a local politician who may or may not be a version of the Marvel villain Black Mariah, Simone Missick is playing Harlem police detective Misty Knight, and Sonia Braga will play Soledad Temple, mother to Claire Temple (
