Mike Colter has recently suggested that he may not return as Luke Cage, despite having played the character for four years in Netflix’s Defenders Saga, meaning the popular Hero of Harlem could be recast for the MCU. Mike Colter first appeared as Luke Cage in 2015’s Jessica Jones season 1, before going on to appear in The Defenders, Jessica Jones season 2, and his own two-season series, Luke Cage. Marvel Studios has confirmed the Defenders Saga is canon to the MCU, meaning Mike Colter could return alongside Charlie Cox’s Daredevil, though he may have expressed doubt about this potential future.
