Hello, and welcome to this article on my Luke Cage theories. Today, I only have three small theories, so let’s get to it.
My first theory is on Cornell “Cottonmouth” Stokes, and his connections. The character, played by Mahershala Ali, is said to be heavily involved with the heroin trade, and famously, so is Daredevil villain, Madame Gao. The rumor here is that Madame Gao shortly shows up in Luke Cage, and IS KILLED by Stokes. While this is unlikely, it would defintely be interesting to see her die before she shows up in Iron Fist, as she traditionally is one of his villains as the Steel Serpent.
Next up is Misty Knight’s arm. In the comics, she has her arm blown off in a bombing while she was a NYPD detective. She is confirmed to be a detective at the start of the series, which raises the chances, ever if only a small amount. Tony Stark gives her the bionic arm in the comics, but maybe Melvin Potter or the people that gave Luke Cage his powers could create it for the show’s means.
Theo Rossi will be playing “Shades” Alvarez in Luke Cage. Sounds kind of irrelevant, but there’s more. Shades, in the comics, is the father of Victor Alvarez. Victor originally showed up in the comics as the new Power-Man during the Shadowland series, where such shenanigans such as Daredevil being possessed, wore a terrible black and silver outfit, and lead The Hand against the rest of Hell’s Kitchen. Now, it’s highly unlikely that the kid would show up in the show at least this season, considering Rossi will probably be playing Allvarez in his mid-30s, and Vic is in his late teens when he finally becomes a hero. But it is possible if Shades dies, Victor could gain powers and come looking for revenge against Luke or Cottonmouth. He could even be a main villain with that plot, and that would be awesome if the writers took my idea.
I feel that the release date of Iron Fist will be coming along with the release of Luke Cage, just like Netflix did with Luke Cage when they tagged a trailer and a release date for the show with Daredevil Season Two’s release. I feel like the release date of Iron Fist will be March 17th, 2017, taking the springtime release date of Daredevil. That theory is also supported by the fact that the Marvel Netflix shows have been release about a year after that season started filming, and considering Iron Fist started filming back in March 2016, those dates line up to the March 2017 date. I also feel like that’s going be the case with The Defenders, and that they’ll probably start filming in mid October 2016, and will debut in mid-October 2017, as to stay 6 weeks away from Thor: Ragnarok.
Well, this has been fun. Join me next week for my Character Of The Month article for October, where I’m going to talk about Cottonmouth’s comic book history. I’m going to do the Marvel direct-to-Netflix show reviews after two weeks, as opposed to the standard one for movies, because it’s incredibly difficult to figure out all of the intricacies of 13 episodes, especially when they’re so close together, because I like to watch 9 episodes of something at a time, in the first go-around. So, I’m going to finish watching it a second time, (I’m already finished with Episode 3) and I’ll have the review done, in full detail, next Friday.
I had a couple more theories, but they really didn’t fit here. They involved Cottonmouth taking heavy visual inspiration from Kanye, and Black Mariah being the true main villain, but they just didn’t feel right here. Anyways, Luke Cage is gonna be amazing, see you next week, and remember, have a nerdy day.
