Take a leisurely walking tour through Central Park, NYC’s most famous backdrop.
Many of us have trouble running from our past, apparently even superheroes. Netflix’s original series Marvel’s Luke Cage follows the story of a convict turned superhero. Along with Jessica Jones, Iron Fist, and Daredevil, Luke Cage is a part of the Marvel Universe on Netflix, coming together as one fourth of The Defenders. Locations from all of these shows can be seen on The Super Tour of NYC.
Luke Cage, who is played by Mike Colter, develops superhuman strength and impenetrable skin after a prison experiment gone wrong. Cage uses his new abilities to help rebuild his home city, Harlem, and clear his name. That rebuilding involves beating up petty criminals and helping local law enforcement restore order in the streets. Along this new journey, Cage is tempted by villains like Black Mariah (Alfre Woodard) and Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali) to return to a life of wrongdoing. This action packed show explores how Cage navigates through his new life and avoids falling into old or tempting habits.
Mike Colter, originally from South Carolina, is best known for his role in the popular films Million Dollar Baby and Men in Black 3. Notable TV shows include Law and Order: Criminal Intent and The Good Wife. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in theater from the University of South Carolina in 1999 and for his role in Luke Cage, he has been nominated for Best Hero at the MTV Movie and TV Awards.
Seeing as the TV show is set in Harlem, many of the exterior shots are taken in Harlem and other parts of NYC.
