Luke Cage

Lesser known superhero Luke Cage (born Carl Lucas and also called Power Man) will headline a forthcoming Marvel film! A creation of writer Archie Goodwin and artist John Romita Sr., Cage first appeared in June 1972 in his own book, Luke Cage, Hero for Hire. Since then, the character has played a supporting or major role in a number of important Marvel arcs. Born and raised in Harlem, Cage agreed to a prison deal which saw him released early in exchange for his participation in an experiment. When this experiment went terribly wrong, Cage was rendered invincible with skin as hard as steel.

The character was one of the first African American comic book superheroes.

The project has been long rumored and nothing is known of director or cast.
