On Friday morning, fans finally got to see the thirdMarvel NetflixseriesLuke Cage, with the first season currently streaming. Today we have a new song from theLuke Cagesoundtrack, “Bulletproof Love” byAdrian YoungeandAli Shaheed Muhammad, featuringMethod Man. The full song can be heard in its entirety in the video below, or you may also buy the track on iTunes for $1.29.
The song debuted on Marvel Entertainment’s YouTube, along with its release on iTunes.Method Manactually appears in theNetflix seriesas himself, which establishes the rapper/actor within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We don’t know for sure if there are any plans to bring backMethod Manin subsequent seasons, or in future Marvel movies and/or TV shows.
The series is the third in the Marvel Netflix lineup, following the releases ofDaredevilandJessica Jones, leading up to the future release ofIron Fist, which is currently in production, and ultimately,The Defenders. GivenLuke CageandIron Fist’s connection in the comics as “Heroes for Hire,” where they would do good deeds for the public for a price, it’s possible thatPower Mancould surface in theIron Fistshow, but we don’t know for sure. Netflix hasn’t announced when production will begin onThe Defendersquite yet.
Luke Cage, also known as Power Man, gained his abilities from a sabotaged experiment that left him with superhuman strength, andunbreakable skin. He is attempting to rebuild his life in New York City. Ultimately, he gets pulled into conflict, all resulting from the past he is trying to bury. As was teased in Jessica Jones, the two are love interests for one another in the comic book world as well, so it’s certainly possible thatKrysten Rittercould make a cameo. It was recently confirmed that, whileJessica Joneswas renewed, that show’s second season will come afterThe Defenders, although a specific release date has not been released.
Luke Cagefeatures a very promising, star-studded cast including fan-favoriteMike Colter(Luke Cage),Alfre Woodard(Mariah Dillard),Mahershala Ali(Cornell Stokes),Theo Rossi(Alvarez),Simone Missick(Misty Knight), andFrank Whaley(Detective Scarfe).
