'Luke Cage' Season 2 trailer introduces quite the villain
Watch Next

Harlem finally has its hero, but he might not be ready for fame. In the full trailer for Luke Cage Season 2, we find our bulletproof hero (Mike Colter) taking selfies on the street and getting all kinds of press for his actions – until a new villain manages to get in a punch that rattles that thick skin.

Luke's new nemesis has super strength too, and yes, that extends to bulletproof skin. Fighting him brings out a brutality in Luke, but he still needs all the help he can get from Claire (Rosario Dawson) and Misty Knight (Simone Missick) – as long as she's not a sidekick. Alfre Woodard reprises her role as Mariah Dillard, who is fed up of Harlem's knights and kings – when what it really needs is a queen.

Marvel's Luke Cage Season 2 premieres June 22 on Netflix.
