Luke Cage and Claire Temple were last seen in Season 1 sharing a bittersweet kiss before the Harlem hero was taken back to prison. Cage was once known as the wrongfully convicted criminal Carl Lucas, who escaped prison by faking his death.

According to Digital Spy, the romance between the "Luke Cage" couple will continue well into "The Defenders." Cage will not only reunite with Claire Temple and Misty Knight from his own series, but will also team up with Jessica Jones, Daredevil (Charlie Cox) and Iron Fist (Finn Jones) in "The Defenders." As an aside, "The Defenders" will definitely be a hot pot for Marvel characters with The Punisher (Jon Berthal) also set to cross paths with Luke Cage, Daredevil, Jessica Jones and Iron Fist in the new Netflix series.

Announcements for "Luke Cage" Season 2 confirmation and air date are pending at the moment, but should be released after the 2017 Netflix offerings of "Iron Fist" and then "The Defenders." Are you a fan of the Luke Cage and Claire Temple twosome or are you rooting for either Misty Knight or Jessica Jones?
