Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage’ Casts Theo Rossi as Shades

Deadline is reporting that Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy) has signed on to join the cast of Marvel’s ‘Luke Cage. The rumor is he is set to be playing a character named Shade, a shady criminal who was in the same prison as Luke Cage. Shade was more of a low level villain for Luke Cage so its yet to be seen how he will be utilized int he Netflix series.

They are also reporting that Rosario Dawson will return as her Daredevil character Claire Temple (aka the night nurse). That wasn’t much of a surprise since her character played a bigger role in the Luke Cage books as his love interest before Jessica Jones entered the picture.

‘Luke Cage’ is set to premier in 2016 following Jessica Jones.
