Alfre Woodard Finalizing Deal To Join Cast Of Netflix’s LUKE CAGE

According to Deadline, actress Alfre Woodard is finalizing a deal to star in the Marvel Netflix series Luke Cage.  Woodard would play a character named Minetta, “a powerful woman in local politics who will have an impact on Luke Cage’s life. No one is commenting, but I hear she may actually be playing a version of Marvel villain Black Mariah, a nemesis to Luke Cage as well as Iron Fist. In the comics, she is a professional criminal and a drug dealer.”

Luke Cage, starring Mike Colter, will be the third Marvel series to air on Netflix.  Cage will first appear in A.K.A. Jessica Jones starring Krysten Ritter later this year.

Hopefully the deal goes through.  Woodard would be an excellent addition to Luke Cage.  Especially if she is the main antagonist.
