Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Finally, it has arrived; after two teasers, the main trailer for Netflix and Marvel’s Luke Cage is here, revealing the origins of our bulletproof hero.

Having debuted in Jessica Jones earlier this year, Mike Colter returns as Cage, while we are also treated to the surprise reappearance of Rosario Dawson as Claire Temple.

The trailer features the first appearances of Mahershala Ali as Harlem's Paradise nightclub owner Cornell "Cottonmouth" Stokes and Simone Missick as Misty Knight. Watch the trailer above.

The synopsis of the series reads: When a sabotaged experiment gives him super strength and unbreakable skin, Luke Cage becomes a fugitive attempting to rebuild his life in Harlem and must soon confront his past and fight a battle for the heart of his city.

Luke Cage will debut later this year and will be followed soon after by Iron Fist. Then, in late 2017, the duo will team-up with Jessica Jones and Daredevil to form The Defenders, an Avengers-style mini-series.

Luke Cage reaches Netflix 30 Septemeber.
