AceShowbiz - New "Luke Cage" set photos have surfaced online, showing another villain on the upcoming Netlifxs series. The pictures that made their way out via SuperHeroHype give a first look at Erik LaRay Harvey as Diamondback. Wearing a helmet, the "Boardwalk Empire" actor was seen filming a fighting scene with the title character depicter, Mike Colter.

There are several Marvel villains named Diamondback in the comic books, but Harvey's version is the one who made his debut in "Luke Cage, Hero for Hire #1" released in 1972. He's the alter ego of Willis Stryker, a childhood friend of Luke's who framed him for a drug charge when they're young, causing Luke to be jailed.

He's known as a knife-wielding villain, but he's seen having a hand-to-hand combat with Luke in the images.

"Luke Cage" follows the titular character who, after a sabotaged experiment, has super strength and unbreakable skin. He becomes a fugitive trying to rebuild his life in modern day Harlem, New York City.

Rosario Dawson reprises her "Daredevil" character Claire Temple, Sonia Braga plays Claire's mom Soledad, Alfre Woodard portrays politician Mariah Dillard, Theo Rossi is cast as career criminal/Luke Cage nemesis Shades, Simone Missick stars as Misty Knight, and Frank Whaley plays Detective Scarfe.

The third Marvel-Netflix series after "Daredevil" and "Marvel's Jessica Jones", it is set for release on the streaming service on September 30.
