The Marvel Cinematic Universe keeps bringing characters from Netflix’s Marvel shows back, and it already has the best way to bring Luke Cage (Mike Colter) back. The MCU is currently exploring its multiverse and the many dangers that live in it, but it has also been the perfect opportunity to make characters from other movies and TV shows outside this connected universe part of it, as Hawkeye with Wilson Fisk/Kingpin (Vincent D’Onofrio).

Jonah Jameson and Luke Cage, they actually have a history together in the comics, which can make way for Luke’s return and official introduction to the MCU.
After the Green Goblin seemingly died in battle against Spider-Man and the web-slinger became a suspect in the Goblin’s and Gwen Stacy’s deaths, Jameson hired Luke Cage to catch Spider-Man. Now, even after the whole multiversal mess in No Way Home, Spider-Man is still believed to have murdered Mysterio, which could be the perfect excuse for Jameson to hire the Power Man to catch Spider-Man – or, simply, hire him to uncover Spider-Man’s identity, as to the public eye, he’s still a big menace and is no longer considered a hero, all thanks to Mysterio, which could also mess with Cage’s plans to protect his area.
