Following last month’s casting of Alfre Woodard (Desperate Housewives) as the villain Minetta, it is now being reported that two more names have signed on to appear in Marvel’s third Netflix series Luke Cage.

According to Deadline, Rosario Dawson will reprise her role from Daredevil – and the upcoming Jessica Jones – as Claire Temple, while Theo Rossi (Sons of Anarchy) will play “Sonny”, who is described as “relentless and menacing, smooth and manipulative, street smart and controlling” and may will be the villain Alvarez, a.k.a. Shades.

Luke Cage is slated to get underway in 2016, with Mike Colter (The Following) taking on the lead role.
