Luke Cage
Marvel Television broke new ground throughCloak & DaggerandLuke Cage , as it took its first steps to connect across platform and coalesce its shows into a truly connected universe . Connective tissue within the MCU is nothing raw . In the picture show , characters often pop up in movies out of doors of their own standalone franchises or the obligatory team - up motion-picture show likeAvengers : Infinity War . Sometimes it ’s no more than a humourous cameo - such as Loki in brief train on the sort of Captain America isThor : The Dark Worldor Captain America featuring on the public service video at Peter Parker ’s school duringSpider - Man : Homecoming . Other clip , it ’s more substantial , as was the case inCaptain America : Civil War , with numerous heroes and even antagonist crossing over to join the fray .
It ’s not even unheard of in full term of the television property . federal agent Peggy Carter ( Hayley Atwell ) has appear in a few episodes ofAgents of S.H.I.E.L.D , and of course each of the eccentric in the Marvel / Netflix collaboration appeared in each other ’s shows , most notably Luke Cage recurring inJessica Jonesbefore spinning off into his own show and then team up with Jessica , Daredevil , and Iron Fist for formThe Defenders . What makes the crosswalk betweenLuke CageandCloak & Daggerso unequaled , however , is that it ’s the first fourth dimension the seemingly disparate branches of Marvel Television has reached across different epithelial duct . Each of The Defenders standalone show still well out on Netflix , while bothAgent CarterandAgents of S.H.I.E.L.Dwere and are ABC properties , respectively . Cloak & Dagger , however , airs on Freeform , making its overt connection toLuke Cageall the more surprising - and rewarding .

" During the instalment , Misty Knight ( Simone Missick ) can be seen speaking with another detective about some of their former colleague , with it specifically mentioned that " Callahan is in Maui , and O’Reilly move to New Orleans .

Whether or not this means Luke Cage or the Runaways , or even Daisy Johnson of S.H.I.E.L.D. , will be show up for a cameo or full - blown appearance will obviously continue to be get word .
