Mike Colter Keeps Hope Alive for a Luke Cage Revival

Marvel's Luke Cagewas one of the first Netflix MCU shows to get the ax, but star Mike Colter isn't ready to reveal what the canceled series had in store for Season 3 -- just in case it happens after all.

While appearing at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, to promote his film Before You Know It, Colter chatted with IndieWire about the end of Luke Cage's run on Netflix. The actor reasoned that the show's cancellation was a product of the "powers that be deciding that it was something that they wanted to take back into another platform."

Disney -- which owns Marvel Entertainment -- is preparing to roll out its own streaming service, Disney+, in late 2019. As Netflix shutters almost its entire MCU slate, even those shows that were among its most popular original offerings, it seems likely that Disney is steadily migrating all of its own properties over to its own platform.

And it sounds like Colter, like many of the show's fans, is holding out at least some hope that Disney+ might revive some of these canceled properties in-house. Colter told the site, "Whether it comes back, I don't know ... I'll be around."

The actor also cautiously refused to spoil any details about what might have happened in Season 3 of Luke Cage, saying, "If I talk about it then, honestly, what'll happen is if it gets a third season then they'll be like, 'You just ruined everything that we were going to write about.'"

"If you're going to keep up hope, then I guess I have to keep the secrets," Colter said. "Ask me in three years."

Colter is but the latest Netflix MCU star to indicate his willingness to platform-hop when Disney+ gets into gear.

Charlie Cox and other stars of Marvel's Daredevil have also been vocally supportive of a major fan initiative to encourage Disney to renew the series through its new service, and The Punisher's showrunner Steve Lightfoot even pitched a big crossover event between The Punisher and the characters of Daredevil, in the case that it, too, received a third season somehow.

Dare to dream, right? Weirder things have happened in this business.
