First Official Trailer for Luke Cage Released! He's Just Getting Started.
Always call the gas company before you start digging!

Luke arms himself with a forcefully removed car door and enters into a building teeming with well-armed roustabouts. Utilizing said car door, Luke cage bulldozes through swarms of thugs, ramming them through walls, shoveling them into additional thug-swarms, and wrapping one particular thug with said door in an effort to entrap and permanently paralyze.

Having sacrificed the car door, Cage punches through drywall to procure himself a lead pipe. Cage doles severe, head-mashing punishment to the remaining thugs, chalking up tens of thousands in medical bills covered by…uh….henchman insurance? No, there is no such thing.

Cage reaches his target, Cornell Stokes, aka Cotton Mouth. And no, this won’t be the first time Cage bull-charges an established, drug-producing safe haven for the criminal class in New York. Nope, he’s just getting started.
