Marvel has announced that House of Cards and Hunger Games: Mocking Jay 1-2 actor Mahershala Ali will play villain Cornell Stokes aka Cottonmouth in Marvel’s Luke Cage series due out next year on Netflix. The versatile actor has been on our radar for years, and it’s nice to see him join a superhero project like Luke Cage.
I’m sure more casting announcements will be made official in the coming days.
