"How I'm feeling when someone says they're hitting up the #LukeCage panel at #SDCC2016," Netflix captioned the photo on Twitter. Cage played by Mike Colter who first appeared as the character in Jessica Jones, is seen bartending at a high-end location wearing a suit. As always, Cage a ladies man, is seen catching the eye of female customer.

During Jessica Jones, Cage's bar was destroyed and he headed off to Harlem leaving Hell's Kitchen behind. The new promotional shot seems to indicate that Cage will find a new place to bartend.

On Monday, Netflix also released a comic book inspired poster for the series that featured a yellow drawing of the muscular vigilante. "#LukeCage is heading to the Con this Thursday. It's gonna be lit," the image was captioned on Twitter.
