Unfortunately that fame comes with new challenges and surprises, as a formidable new foe takes on Cage and forces the man to reassess what it means to be a hero while surrounded with new allies and enemies alike.

Marvel and Netflix pair up to bring Daredevil, Power Man, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones and unite them as The Defenders!

Big news has come once again to those looking forward to some new Marvel shows, as The Walt Disney Co. and Netflix have announced something exciting for fans of some particular New York-based Marvel Heroes who will not only be getting their own individual serialized programs, but eventually lead up to one big miniseries event!

Announced and reported by sites like Superherohype, it appears that Marvel TV will be developing four shows based on the heroes "Daredevil", "Iron Fist", "Power Man/ Luke Cage", and "Jessica Jones", each holding their own live-action television series that will run for about thirteen episodes each! The project, which will be produced by Marvel Television and ABC Television Studios, is expected to begin in 2015, and all individual character's series will converge into a separate team mini-series called "Marvel's The Defenders", which follows the same kind of formula as the films and heroes features in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where heroes such as Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor  had their own movies and eventually teamed up in one mega-blockbuster hit film that was "Marvel's The Avengers"!

This is definitely big and awesome news, especially for fans of Marvel Knights, Daredevil, Power Man/ Luke Cage, Iron Fist, and Jessica Jones/ Alias! After bringing Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D into the fold and experimenting with the Marvel Cinematic Universe on the small screen, it isn't a surprise that Marvel Entertainment is taking this approach, and having recently reacquired the rights back to Daredevil, this will do nicely to bring all the heroes together, big and small screen combined! And who knows... The Avengers and The Defenders may actually meet someday! For more information, visit the source post at Superherohype!

Tyrese Gibson puts a shoutout to Marvel to play Luke Cage!

Anyone who's seen the Michael Bay Transformers flicks and its latest offering "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" will probably know who R&B singer and actor Tyrese Gibson is. He plays Master Sergeant Robert Epps, one of the human allies and NEST member who fights alongside the Autobots in all three films. Via MTV News, Gibson puts a shoutout to Marvel to play another role that he feels would fit him - New Avenger and hero Luke Cage!

Well now, it looks like Isaiah "Old Spice" Mustafa, who produced a video trailer of himself playing Luke Cage, has a competitor vying for the role of the former Power Man! We'll just have to wait and see how Marvel responds to these shoutouts!

Isaiah Mustafa pitches himself as Luke Cage to Marvel

With all the superhero movies coming out, it would be a surprise if Marvel decided to use secondary string characters that fans wouldn't even imagine seeing secure their own movie. Luke Cage is such a character, and given his renewed popularity based on his current position as a member and leader of the New Avengers, getting his own solo flick would be mighty awesome for people who dig the man with unbreakable skin. As such, Isaiah "Old Spice" Mustafa is taking the initiative to campaign to the House of Ideas that he can play the former "Power Man" in his own film, going as far as to create a "teaser trailer" that was posted over at You Tube and even featured in Slash Film! Best check this out, Cage fans!

Isaiah Mustafa "Luke Cage teaser trailer"!

The question now is... Does he fit the part? You decide for yourselves, and let's see how Marvel reacts to this presentation. For more on the story, visit Slash Film!

New Avengers Update: Here's Jewel In Your Eyes!

She's been seen on the sidelines and is the wife of heavy hitter Luke Cage, but Jessica Jones finally steps out of the shadows and reassumes her heroic identity of Jewel, making her debut as the newest member of the New Avengers! Jessica has been a star in her own right thanks to her own series "Alias", but Brian Michael Bendis sends her back to the forefront as a New Avenger, fighting alongside her husband and their teammates in the latest incarnation of the team, which debuts this June as part of the Heroic Age! Watch out for it!

Spider-Man... New "New Avenger"!

Marvel and Newsarama have unveiled the second member of the "New" New Avengers roster set to debut this June... And it's none other than your friendly neighborhood, web-slinging hero - The Amazing Spider-Man! No stranger to the team set up and being a member for quite time already, Spidey has always been a fan favorite, valuing heroics and responsibility like the lovable hero that he is. He's been a great asset to the newest iteration of Earth's Mightiest Heroes since they formed after Avengers Disassembled, and his presence here was expected to say the least. However, he also appeared in the cover to AVENGERS #1... could he be doing double time like his teammate Luke Cage, who was also announced for NA but will be appearing in THUNDERBOLTS as well? I guess time will tell, as things get more wild in this bright, upcoming Heroic Age!

New Avengers #1 debuts on June. Watch out for more members to be announced!

The Return Of... The New Avengers?!

I'm surprised by this announcement as anybody, but it appears that Brian Michael Bendis is not going to back down with the series just yet!

As reported in Marvel and Newsarama, the NEW AVENGERS are returning with a relaunch of issue #1 as part of the Heroic Age. However, it will not be released alongside the other new titles, AVENGERS and SECRET AVENGERS, and will have its debut instead on June this year. As you can see from the teaser above, the first inductee and probably the de facto leader of the group will be none other than Luke Cage, who's no stranger to leadership since he led the underground, unregistered New Avengers team after the events of Civil War. Cage, who's "Never Backed Down From A Fight", will also be appearing in Thunderbolts in a leader capacity as well, so it should be interesting to see him juggle his time between the two teams. It's nice that another team makes their presence known... but that means it's 3 Avengers titles on the horizon already!

New Avengers will be written by Brian Michael Bendis and drawn by Stuart Immonen. More info in Newsarama via the link.

More Marvel Heroic Age Teasing!

Marvel has been slowly unveiling the goodies to expect come May when the Heroic Age shines down on their universe, and with that being said, it's time for another round of announcements and reveals, courtesy of the House Of Ideas and comic news site Newsarama!

Revealed the other day, writer Ed Brubaker and artist Mike Deodato are teaming up for a second Avengers book, aptly known as the "Secret Avengers". Unlike the official team that gets its roster revealed slowly and surely, this faction will get images with the characters blacked out, so it's a guessing game everyone will have to play until just before the book comes out I guess.



A second teaser has popped out, showing a cape wearing individual whose tagline is "I Strive For Redemption". That possibly puts up a former villain or messed up guy on the list, so any hands up for The Hood? Taskmaster? Sentry even? Let's wait and see.


Onto Captain America, Bucky Barnes is still going to continue wielding the shield as the official Cap, and while some fans of Steve Rogers may be dismayed by this fact, I actually think it's a good idea to keep around at least for a while longer. The original may be back, but Bucky has grown into the role quite well, and Brubaker has utilized the character effectively during his run that it would be a waste just to hand the role back to Steve right away. The new Cap's got heart, soul, and plenty of adventure in him, and now that he's an official member of the Heroic Age's Avengers, he's going to have a lot on his plate to live up to his mentor's legacy. Case in point, the above pic is the cover to May's Captain America #606, and Bucky's going to come face to face with an old adversary of the original - Baron Zemo.

Also on the Horizon, a new Thunderbolts team will debut in Thunderbots #144. Known to be a black ops team under the supervision of Norman Osborn during the Dark Reign, the new roster will feature some of the biggest villains and messiest characters the House Of Ideas has to offer! Rounding up the returning veterans Songbird and Ghost, while the fresh faces are Crossbones, Man-Thing, and Juggernaut... and leading them all will be none other than former Hero-For-Hire and New Avenger, Luke Cage?! Having a tough force of villains and misfits to handle is one thing, but how will all of these guys coexist together? And Man-Thing on a team?! All the news has just gotten my curiosity up for the Heroic Age.
