Now if they would just recast Luke Cage.
Recast. As in get someone else. I know they won't but I wish they would because he was the most boring version of Luke Cage I've ever seen.He was already cast. He's in Jessica Jones.
Well that's a real shame. To me Mack was channeling the spirit of Luke Cage in the finale of AoS last season.Yeah, I misread your post and deleted my response. I thought he was fine. Nothing special, but the "modern" Cage is a bit boring and generic in the comic, relative to what he was in the '70s and early '80s.
I've only ever seen him in Game of Thrones, I wonder if he can do a good American accent and if not, I wonder if they'll keepbhisbenglish accent.
Buck previously served as Executive Producer and showrunner of “Dexter” for the series’ final four years. He has also written for “Six Feet Under” and “Rome,” among other series.

Well, it would be hard to make a blaxploitation-type character (which you rightly identify as the original Cage) work in the Netflix Marvel world. But it would certainly make him more interesting! Just like Iron Fist should show should be an extended kung fu movie, but we probably won't get that, either.
Well . . . maybe that's not a bad thing.

I liked his performance as Luke Cage in the first 3 episodes, but after that, when more acting was required, his performance just went down hill for me.

Agreed.
Cage & Rand should be a little outsized as characters . . . not so grounded.
(I'm still a sucker for the 'ol chain belt & steel tiara.)

With the new look, I think Dave Bautista would be perfect as Luke.
I'm glad he's Drax, but I feel he maybe could have been a better Luke.
Ordinarily there would be wiggle room since the door has been opened for race reassignment in comics, but Cage is so self identified as a Black superhero from Harlem it just wouldn't be the same character.Well, considering Bautista is American/Phillipino/Greek, I don't see how he could've landed the role of Cage. Luke's an African-American, there's no wiggle room.
