Just a few days after Netflix released a cool trailer for season two of Marvelās Luke Cage, Deadline is reporting that Annabella Sciorra has now joined the cast. The story says sheāll be playing Rosalie Carbone, a ādangerous downtown criminal underworld power playerā who is looking to expand her evil empire into Harlem. Luke Cage will presumably have a probably with that, since he already spends most of time keeping criminal jerks out of Harlem, especially with two of last seasonās villainsāAlfre Woodardās Mariah Dillard and Theo Rossiās Shadesāstill hanging around.
In the comics, Carbone had a brief relationship with a man who later turned out to be The Punisher, inspiring her to try and hunt him down and kill him, but Luke Cage will probably abandon the Punisher connection just to streamline things. That may be disappointing to fans of big crossovers, but itās not like the MCU and Netflixās Marvel shows havenāt introduced characters from the comics with no resemblance to their original incarnations before.
Marvelās Luke Cage returns to Netflix on June 22.
