While appearing on The Rich Eisen Show recently, Mike Colter was asked whether he would be open to returning to the role of Luke Cage. The actor revealed he would be open to a return, but hasn’t heard anything from Marvel about the possibility:

“There is [a possibility], I guess, I just don’t know how likely it is, and I don’t have anything tangible to offer. People always ask me, ‘Is it possible?’ and I’m like, ‘Anything’s possible.’ And they live on rumors and I go, ‘I mean, you know as much as I know.’ People read those articles, that’s the exact same amount of information that I have.
“…I’d be open to it, yeah. I mean I had a great time, and I’ve had a nice break from that much action, in terms of physical action, in terms of filming a superhero show. So I’d be up for it again, but when I left I was pretty tired physically. It’s like when you play a sport you need a little off-season. So it was fun to take a break, you know?”

Mike Colter is currently appearing in supernatural drama Evil on Paramount+, where he plays priest-in-training David Acosta. With his Defenders co-star Charlie Cox gearing up to return to Marvel as Daredevil though, it may only be a matter of time until Colter returns to the role of Luke Cage.
