Netflix and Marvel have revealed today that their co-effort Luke Cage will debut some preview footage at San Diego’s upcoming Comic-Con.

According to Deadline, Luke Cage’s love interest Jessica Jones (played by Krysten Ritter) — who has her own Netflix series — will not be in attendance. Marvel’s Luke Cage is set to premiere on Netflix on September 30. The brand new series centers around the Harlem fugitive who possesses super-human strength and unbreakable skin. It also stars Mahershala Ali, Sonia Braga, Frank Whaley, Simone Missick and Theo Rossi.
