Yesterday it was confirmed that Rosario Dawson would be reprising her Claire Temple role for a third time in Luke Cage. In the same report it was confirmed that Sons of Anarchy star Theo Rossi would be joining the cast as a villain. And now it looks like the Luke Cage casting process is progressing rather quickly, as they have added yet another star to their series.

A new report says that rising star Simone Missick will be joining the cast of Netflix’s Marvel series as a hero. More on this story below.

As Daredevil continues production of Season 2, and AKA Jessica Jones gets ready for a Fall release on Netflix, Marvel is preparing for its next interconnecting series on the streaming site. The Luke Cage character will already be making his debut midway through the Jessica Jones debut season, which will eventually lead up to his own series, Luke Cage. Mike Colter stars as the titular character, and showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker is currently assembling the rest of the cast. Now we know who will be the villain of the Luke Cage series.

A new report says that Alfre Woodard will now join the cast as one of the villains.

Netflix will kick off their Marvel series run later this month with Daredevil, developed by Drew Goddard. It will then move on to AKA Jessica Jones, with Melissa Rosenberg serving as showrunner. Now we are learning that Cheo Hodari Coker (Ray Donavan, Southland) will act as showrunner for Luke Cage, starring Mike Colter (The Good Wife, American Horror Story: Coven) in the title role.

Variety broke the news yesterday. In addition to being a showrunner, Coker will also be a co-executive producer on the show.

Former Doctor Who Time Lord David Tennant has been cast as a villain in A.K.A. Jessica Jones, Marvel’s upcoming Netflix series.

The Gracepoint actor will appear as Kilgrave in the 13-episode run of the series, according to Marvel, who describes the character as “an enigmatic figure from Jessica’s past” whose “reappearance will send shockwaves through the former super hero’s world.”

Just this week it was announced that Netflix has scheduled the release of Marvel’s Daredevil for an April 10 premiere — all 13 episodes released at once for subscribers’ viewing pleasure. But as to when we will get to see the other Marvel series Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and The Defenders is unclear. In fact, even with the recent castings of Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones in A.K.A. Jessica Jones, with Mike Colter as Luke Cage, production for either series has yet to begin, and according to Chief Content Officer of Netfix, Ted Sarandos, it could be up to a year before any of the Marvel shows on Netflix, beyond Daredevil, would make their Internet debut.
