New Luke Cage set photos reveal another villain

New images from the set of Netflix’s Luke Cage have given Marvel fans even more reason to be excited for the upcoming series. The photos, recently uploaded to First Look and Twitter, reveal Mike Colter as the show’s titular hero, staging a street fight on location in New York with Erik LaRay Harvey in costume as Willis Stryker, a.k.a. Diamondback. In the comic-book canon, Stryker is a gang member and childhood friend of Cage’s. The two had a falling out over a shared romantic interest early in the Luke Cage: Hero for Hire series run, and things quickly got very punchy and stabby. Known for his expertise in knife-wielding, Stryker utilizes a collection of trick knives that explode, release toxic gas, and emit sonic waves.
