Wait, Another Luke Cage Casting?
So, anyone already tired of Luke Cage related news? I certainly am not, as we now have a confirmation that a scoop from Umberto Gonzalez and Heroic Hollywood a while back is confirmed, as Cottonmouth will indeed be appearing in Cheo Hodari Coker’s upcoming Luke Cage show on Netflix. He will be portrayed by Mahershala Ali, who many might know from House of Cards and The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.[1]
Jeph Loeb states that “Mahershala is
an actor of extraordinary range and gravitas. As Cottonmouth he will really let
loose.” It is stated that Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes is a Harlem nightclub
owner and will become an unexpected foe in Luke’s life when Stoke’s criminal
activities threaten Luke’s world.
Are you
