Marvel's Luke Cage has cast two comic book villains for Season 2.
Entertainment Weekly reports Gabrielle Dennis (Insecure, Rosewood) and Mustafa Shakir (The Night Of, Quarry) have joined the show.
Shakir will play John McIver, a charismatic leader "whose mission is focused on Harlem and vengeance." Comic book fans will known him as the criminal mastermind Bushmaster, who runs into both Luke Cage and Iron Fist.
Dennis will play a holistic doctor named Tilda Johnson. In the comics, Johnson is actually the criminal super-genius known as Nightshade. It's currently unknown whether or not Johnson and McIver will fulfill their comic book futures in the show.
"Mustafa's incredible presence and power ignited us from our first meeting, and Gabrielle brings the charm and smarts to a very complicated role," executive producer Jeph Loeb said. "Both will be wonderful additions to our already magnificent cast."
Along with the additions of Shakir and Dennis, Season 1 cast members Mike Colter, Simone Missick, Rosario Dawson, Alfre Woodard and Theo Rossi are all returning for the new season as well.
