There’s been a few set photo leaks , but that’s it when it comes to Netflix’s next Marvel series, Luke Cage . With Season 1 set to release in full September 30, all we have so far is a 30-second teaser. This will soon change now that Mike Colter is coming to San Diego Comic-Con late July.

Co-stars Alfre Woodward and Theo Rossi will join Colter, along with showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker, and they’re expected to bring with them an all-new sneak peek. Woodward plays Mariah Dillard, a local politician in Harlem who wants to change. He’s also the cousin of the villainous nightclub owner nicknamed Cottonmouth (Mahershala Ali), who will prove to be a foil for Luke Cage along with Diamondback (Erik LaRay Harvey) and Shades (Theo Rossi). Both have ties to Luke’s mysterious past.

Though he won’t be saving Harlem alone. Luke Cage may find solace in Misty Knight (Simone Missick) and Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson), who is reprising her role from Daredevil and Jessica Jones. It’s still unclear if Jones, Luke Cage’s ex-love interest, will make the subway ride to Harlem. However, Luke’s blossoming friendship with Nurse Claire is rumored to be a major storyline.
If all that’s not enough to get you hype, A Tribe Called Quest’s Ali Shaheed Muhammad is handling the music. Luke Cage premieres September 30th on Netflix.
