This Luke Cage trailer was tagged onto the credits of DareDevil season 2

By Caleb Denison Published March 21, 2016

If there was any lingering doubt over whether Netflix was fully committed to its part in developing the Marvel cinematic universe, this trailer should wipe it right out.

Tagged onto the end of the DareDevil Season 2 credits appears the first teaser trailer for the upcoming series based on Marvel character Luke Cage, due to hit Netflix September 30. Following the DareDevil season 2 premiere three days ago, the trailer has been isolated and posted on YouTube as a stand-alone clip. The trailer can also be seen here on Netflix’s site.

For those not familiar, Luke Cage, played by actor Mike Colter, co-stars in Jessica Jones as the protagonist’s superhuman love interest. Cage’s powers and abilities in the series essentially boil down to superhuman strength and invincibility.

It has been known for some time now that Luke Cage would follow Daredevil and Jessica Jones, with Iron Fist to follow. What remains unclear is where the series will exist in relation the other story lines in the franchise, though it’s likely we’ll see Jessica Jones appear at some point, if only in passing.

A crossover series combining all four shows, The Defenders, is expected much further down the road.

For now we only get a brief glimpse of what the new show might look like in the 20-second clip, which shows Cage getting fired on by a couple of bad guys who clearly have no idea the bullets will do nothing to harm him. True to form, Cage’s demeanor portrays a calm exterior, with a caged beast coiled underneath.

Furiosa is a sci-fi movie you must watch on Netflix before it’s too late

Tom Burke stands between Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth in "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga."

After making three Mad Max movies in the '80s, George Miller's iconic dystopian franchise went on a 30-year hiatus. The wait was worth it because the next entry, Mad Max: Fury Road, became one of the best action movies of the 21st century. Thankfully, Miller only waited nine years for his next Mad Max adventure, Furiosa.

Thanks to a licensing agreement, Furiosa is now available to stream on Netflix. It won't be here forever, though, as it leaves the service at the end of the month. Furiosa is one of our five sci-fi movies to watch this July. Check out all of our picks below.

Admit it — You still love Stranger Things, and the season 5 teaser trailer is awesome

A group of teens look down as one holds a chainsaw.

It's easy to poke fun at Stranger Things because of how long it's taken to reach the end. When season 5 concludes later this year, the Netflix series will have produced 42 episodes of television in just under 10 years. For comparison, The X-Files released roughly 200 episodes in under nine years. The pandemic and strikes are legitimate reasons for the delays, but the long hiatuses for Stranger Things have been frustrating for fans, to the point where some are questioning if they'll even care about the final season.

After watching the season 5 teaser trailer, all the feelings of resentment have been replaced with excitement. The teaser looks awesome, and I can't wait for the show's final run this fall.
