Marvel's third superhero franchise coming to Netflix has been a long time coming. Luke Cage, sometimes known as Power Man, was one of Marvel's first black superheroes. Created in 1972 in the height of Blacksploitation movies like Shaft and Foxxy Brown, Luke Cage carried a lot of those 70's African American culture cliches, but with the inclusion of talent like Alfre Woodard and Mahershala Ali, hopefully those tropes will be missing from this new series.
Here's a breakdown of the cast.

When Captain America goes toe to toe with Iron Man, you better belive it'll affects the rest of the hero community, so a giant cast for Civil War should make sense.
(Here's the full line-up from left-to-right, top-to-bottom: Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr as Iron Man, Scarlett Johannson as Black Widow, Sebastian Stan as Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as Falcon, Paul Bettany as Vision, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Don Cheadle as War Machine, Elizabeth Olsen as Scarlet Witch, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, Chadwick Boseman as Black Panther, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, Daniel Brühl as Baron Zemo, Frank Grillo as Crossbones, William Hurt as General 'Thunderbolt' Ross, and Martin Freeman in an unspecified role).
For the past week, Marvel has been releasing individual character posters for each of their star-studded Avengers: Age of Ultron cast members. With Captain America's poster finally out, the main crew are all accounted for.
