Mike Colter: 'Luke Cage' 'represented something more than just entertainment'

Mike Colter has posted on Instagram his thoughts on Netflix canceling his Marvel series, Luke Cage.

"Luke Cage represented something more than just entertainment," the actor said on Sunday alongside a photo of his newborn daughter whom he shares with his wife Iva Colter.

"@MarvelsLukeCage added to our social commentary and made viewers think by challenging the norm and putting out a character that reflected the everyday hero, one with flaws, strengths and everything in between," Colter continued.

"I am forever grateful to Marvel and Netflix for letting me portray such a prolific character, and thank the amazing fans. As one door closes, another has opened, with the birth of my 2nd daughter. Born this week. A lot of great memories. Time to make more. Always forward, forward always."

Colter's newborn daughter is laying down asleep as Colter points to her while smiling. Colter and Iva are also parents to 3-year-old daughter Naiella.

Luke Cage was canceled on Friday after two seasons. Colter also appeared as the superhero in crossover series The Defenders and in Jessica Jones.

Luke Cage's cancellation came a week after Netflix ended another Marvel show after two seasons, Iron Fist. Netflix and Marvel's Daredevil, meanwhile, returned on Friday with Season 3.

"After the fall, [Paula] got back up, never skipped a beat! [Paula] stated, she has been a dancer for years so falls and drops she has gotten used to over the years! Other than the fall her show was absolutely amazing and she went on and finished like a champ!" a fan in attendance said to Entertainment Tonight

The Straight Up Paula! tour is Abdul's first solo tour in 25 years. She will next be preforming on Wednesday at The Colosseum at Caesars Windsor in Windsor, Ontario.

Which actor's son changed his last name in honor of late mom?

Liam Neeson's son Micheál is honoring his late mom by changing his last name.

Us Weekly reported Micheál, 23, switched his surname to Richardson as a tribute to his mother, actress Natasha Richardson, who died in March 2009.

People confirmed Micheál made the change in remembrance of his mom. Micheál was 13 years old when Richardson died of injuries after a fall while skiing.

Micheál said in an interview with The Sunday Times in 2015 that he went through a "dark" time in the years after his mother's death. He was able to get sober after hitting "rock bottom" in 2014.

"[I was] partying a lot, looking for self-gratification," Micheál said of his drinking and drug use.

"Looking back, I realize it was a delayed reaction," he explained. "You meet so many people who lost a parent when they were young and then they'll break down when they're 45."

Neeson and Richardson had been married nearly 15 years at the time of the actress' death. Neeson shared details from his wedding to Richardson in an interview in 2016, recalling how the actress serenaded him with the Van Morrison song "Crazy Love."

"Natasha had been taking singing lessons to sing it to me. After the ceremony, we were all going in to start the night's festivities and she grabbed the microphone and sang me this... I was like, 'Wow,'" the actor said.

Neeson is also parent to 22-year-old son Daniel with Richardson. Micheál and Daniel's maternal grandmother is the actress Vanessa Redgrave.
