Out of all the new faces that have joined on for Luke Cage season 2, one character has some fan wondering: who is Bushmaster?
Harlem's bulletproof hero has a new foe to contend with on this season of Marvel's Netflix series. Played by Mustafa Shakir, John McIver, aka Bushmaster, is a reimagining of the character from the comic books, offering a fresh take on the villian that features many new and interesting layers.
While Bushmaster hails from Jamaica on the show, he comes to Cage's neighborhood to start some trouble during season 2. As a Harlem native, Shakir tells Metro that he was very excited to film in his old stomping grounds and enjoys how the series portrays the community. "It’s a nostalgic Harlem in a way," Shakir says. "But, you know, it definitely gives you all of those warm feelings."
