The trailer features the introduction of a new antagonist. Although his name suggests that he is the nemesis of DJ Khaled, Bushmaster is actually a supervillain whose powers mirror those of Luke Cage, who is referred to as “Hoodie T’Challa” by at least one staff writer at The Root.

The Marvel Studios series stars Mike Colter as Luke Cage and features Simone Missick, Alfre Woodard, Theo Rossi, Mustafa Shakir, Gabrielle Dennis and Rosario Dawson. The first episode is directed by Lucy Liu of Ally McBeal fame.
