The Season 2 premiere of Marvel's Luke Cage will be directed by Lucy Liu, Marvel Television and Netflix have announced.

In addition to starring in a number of films, including Kill Bill as O'Ren Ishii and Charlie's Angles as Alex Munday, Liu helmed the 2011 short film Meena, as well as four episodes of Elementary and an episode of Graceland.

"She brings the same buoyant intensity, deft humor, and singular focus to her directing that she has always brought to her acting....not to mention the fact that the former 'O'Ren Ishii' certainly knows her way around an action sequence," Luke Cage showrunner and executive producer Cheo Hodari Coker said of Liu.

Season 2 of Marvel's Luke Cage will premiere sometime next year, and will star Gabrielle Dennis and Mustafa Shakir in villainous roles.
